Finally, it\u2019s now official. The Artificial Intelligence Center<\/a> (ARIC) e.V. has been founded in Hamburg as a cross-sector initiative from business, science and politics. ARIC is an official initiative of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg in the Northern Metropolitan Region in the area of Artificial Intelligence and we have been one of its founding members from the very outset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to establish an interdisciplinary, application-oriented center of competence for artificial intelligence in Germany\u2019s Northern Metropolitan Region. The association consists of state and private (technical) universities, non-university research institutions and companies of various sizes, ranging from large companies such as Lufthansa Industry Solutions GmbH & Co. KG, medium-sized companies represented by Pilot Hamburg GmbH, and start-ups such as zapliance.

All the technologies listed show that artificial intelligence has long since ceased to be just a buzzword or hype, but is developing in many respects and so needs be addressed sooner rather than later so as not to lose pace with developments internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of ARIC\u2019s objectives are to make clear how this can be made to happen with the resources and know-how available in the metropolitan region:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
