Steady increase in need for non-medical ethical decisions

New ethics committee for AI and related fields at TUM

An increasing share of submissions to the Ethics Committee of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) – now one in six – relate to topics such as human-machine interactions, artificial intelligence, data protection and personality rights – and no longer solely to medical issues. In response to this trend, TUM has now established a non-medical subcommittee.

Interview with Prof. Stephan Günnemann on the technology behind AI

“The reliability of AI will play a decisive role in Germany”

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in more and more areas and has become a buzzword. But at what point do we speak of AI and no longer of automation or machine learning. In this interview, Stephan Günnemann, professor of Data Analytics and Machine Learning at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), explains the key technological aspects of AI and the significance of the latest developments. At the same time, he assesses Germany’s progress with the technological development of AI as compared to other countries.

Secure data management in the cloud

In an increasingly digitalized world, where vast quantities of data are stored in the cloud, the security of sensitive information is a central challenge. It is easy to lose track of where confidential information is uploaded, who has access rights and what risks are entailed. The team at CyberDesk, a start-up established at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), wants to change this. They have developed a software to support companies in managing data securely in cloud solutions and make it easier for users to keep track of them.

Bavarian Research Foundation supports robotics research

TUM receives funding for medical robotics project

In the future, robots will assist more frequently during operations and should enable greater precision in surgical procedures. The ForNeRo research project, led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), is now analyzing ways of integrating various systems in the fields of surgery and imaging into everyday surgical procedures. The Bavarian Research Foundation funds the project with two million euros as part of the Hightech Agenda Bayern.
