Network APPLIED AI

The Network Applied AI of the HTWK Leipzig

  • comprises professorships from all faculties of HTWK Leipzig with teaching, research and transfer activities in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science as well as their applications
  • serves to coordinate activities and the exchange of information between the participating professorships and thus strengthens expertise in the field of applied AI, its foundations and applications
  • communicates the existing competences in the field of applied AI internally and externally
  • supports joint applications for research and development projects
  • arranges and promotes research and transfer activities with external partners

Information and recommendations on the use of AI tools in teaching, self-learning opportunities, tools, examples and contacts at HTWK Leipzig are listed on a page of the Institute for Digital Teaching and Learning.
