How do we actually define intelligence? This question still has no clear answer. Without an answer, however, it is difficult for us to understand what artificial intelligence actually is. Generally speaking, "artificial intelligence" today is understood to be algorithms that learn independently in different ways based on given data and can then make decisions. For example, whether a dog is visible in a picture. But they also help researchers to recognise patterns and structures in vast amounts of data - also known as Big Data - they improve medical imaging or support vehicles on their way to autonomy.
At TU Graz, researchers are working on and with artificial intelligence in very different fields.
Vienna´s Smart Traffic Lights Are Now Getting Even Smarter
With higher computing power and adapted AI training, the system developed at TU Graz can control several pedestrian crossings simultaneously and recognises people with limited mobility or strollers. The green phase can thus be extended as required.
Autonomous AI Assistant to Build Nanostrucutres
An interdisciplinary research group at TU Graz is working on constructing logic circuits through the targeted arrangement of individual molecules. Artificial intelligence should speed up the process enormously.
Artificial Intelligence in Miniature Format for Small Devices
Researchers from TU Graz, Pro2Future and the University of St. Gallen have developed methods that enable IoT devices to run AI models with minimal memory - for example, to correct positioning errors.
On the Way to a Truly Intelligent AI
Ozan Özdenizci has been working on the Bilateral AI project at TU Graz since May and is part of a larger endeavour to put artificial intelligence (AI) on a broader footing.
Fair Algorithms for All
Elisabeth Lex took up the Professorship for Human Computer Interfaces and Inclusive Technologies at TU Graz in June. She explains what led up to this in the interview.
Fairness in AI: Study Shows Central Role of Human Decision-Making
In addition to helping in a practical way, recommendations based on AI should above all be fair. A new study by researchers at TU Graz, Uni Graz and the Know Center shows hof this can be achieved.
Understanding Human Behaviour with AI
Elisabeth Lex's research combines computer science methods with social science approaches, searching for clues to understand framing, polarisation and opinion clusters.
