Interview with Prof. Daniel Cremers on the future of AI

“The goal of AI is to make our lives easier”

Technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) are already affecting our everyday lives – from the systems that facilitate movie and music selections to language assistants that formulate emails. But what developments will come along in the coming years? Daniel Cremers, a professor of Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), offers insights into the future of AI. The objective of this research is to improve the ability of machines to analyze and interpret image data.

Neuroscience, quantum computing and artificial intelligence

Five ERC Consolidator Grants awarded to TUM researchers

Can electric stimulation help the brain regain speech after a stroke? Can generative artificial intelligence create realistic 3D objects? Can qubits, the fundamental units of quantum computing, be entangled using light? These are among the questions that five research teams at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) aim to answer with the support of prestigious ERC Consolidator Grants.

Strategic partnership on optoionics between TUM and Max Planck Society

World's first center for solar batteries

The world's first center for solar batteries and optoionic technologies is being established in Bavaria. The Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Max Planck Society (MPG) have set the course for this with the support of the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. With the SolBat Center, a unique research ecosystem will be formed to research new types of energy storage systems and develop applications to use solar energy even more efficiently and flexibly.

Designing large new proteins with AI

New method for designing artificial proteins

Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for designing large new proteins better than before and producing them with the desired properties in the laboratory. Their approach involves a new way of using the capabilities of the AI-based software Alphafold2, for which the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2024.

New technology mimics nature and makes rhythmic movements calculable

Effortless robot movements

Humans and animals move with remarkable economy - without consciously thinking about it - by utilizing the natural oscillation patterns of their bodies. A new tool developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) can now utilize this knowledge for the first time to make robots move more efficiently.

Digital twins, interception-proof transmissions, telediagnostics

Current research on the new 6G mobile communications standard

Nursing care robots, autonomous driving, digital twins: all of these high-tech applications will play an essential role for the new 6G mobile communications standard. The first commercial 6G networks are expected to be available as of 2030. In the 6G-life and 6G Future Lab Bavaria initiatives, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and TU Dresden are already testing and developing the fundamental mechanisms of the sixth mobile communications generation. One goal is to establish a complete communications system with components supplied exclusively by German start-ups.

AI4POL project develops tools for more efficient regulation

Artificial intelligence for AI policy

How can Europe efficiently achieve its goals in the regulation of artificial intelligence? And how can the EU itself use AI for this purpose? In the AI4POL project, an international research team will investigate whether EU regulations actually support its citizens. Furthermore, the team will develop AI tools and data science methods with which policymakers and regulators can better evaluate the effects of their legislation as well as potential threats posed by technological developments in non-democratic states.
