Artificial Intelligence

AI applications are profoundly changing the world of work, research and everyday life. We are helping to shape this technological progress: in research, in studies and teaching and in the field of entrepreneurship. This includes new methods and applications of AI, subject-specific degree programs, new teaching and learning methods and cooperation with industry.

Funding for the AIdvice digital knowledge assistant

Artificial intelligence to support cancer treatment

For people with a cancer diagnosis, understandable and reliable information is crucial – but is often difficult to find. The wording of medical guidelines and advice is often too complex for many patients to understand. At the same time, they are exposed to widespread misinformation online. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the TUM University Hospital have now received funding from Google.org for the AIdvice project, which aims to translate up-to-date, evidence based knowledge into answers that are understandable and adapted to individual needs.

New Cluster of Excellence TransforM

“Studying socio-technical shocks in real time”

The Cluster of Excellence TransforM aims to find new ways of conducting research into how transformative technologies shape societal change. In this interview, TransforM spokesperson Prof. Sebastian Pfotenhauer explains why it is essential for social and engineering sciences to face highly speculative questions, discusses how the public can be involved, and how a cluster of this kind could have enabled a different response to the covid pandemic.

Cyber-secure and energy-saving

AI chip developed for decentralized use without the cloud

A new AI chip developed at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) works without the cloud server or internet connections needed by existing chips. The AI Pro, designed by Prof. Hussam Amrouch, is modelled on the human brain. Its innovative neuromorphic architecture enables it to perform calculations on the spot, ensuring full cyber security. It is also up to ten times more energy efficient.

ATLAS-L4 funding project draws a successful balance sheet

Goal achieved: the driverless truck on the road becomes reality

After three years, the twelve project partners from industry, science, software development and infrastructure have successfully completed the ATLAS-L4 research and development project (automated transport between logistics centres on level 4 motorways): The autonomous truck in road transport became a reality thanks to the work of around 150 engineers! MAN Truck & Bus, Knorr-Bremse, LEONI, Bosch, FERNRIDE, BTC Embedded Systems, Fraunhofer AISEC, Technical University of Munich, Technical University of Braunschweig, TÜV SÜD, Autobahn GmbH and the Würzburg Institute of Transport Sciences (WIVW GmbH) have joined forces for this project.

Software may help mitigate the side effects of cancer treatments

AI-based image analysis detects early organ damage

A research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a method to predict early-stage kidney damage caused by certain cancer treatments. The kidneys begin to shrink slightly—months before any measurable decline in kidney function occurs. The researchers identified this trend using CT scans analyzed by an AI-powered algorithm. They also observed similar changes in the spleen. In the future, these findings could help adapt treatments earlier to prevent organ damage.
