My organisation
The ETH AI Center is one of the world's largest hubs for research in artificial intelligence comprising a faculty of over 102 professors. The center spans all 16 departments and brings together over 1500 researchers from AI foundations, AI applications, and AI implications.
Our vision is to enable the path towards trustworthy, accessible, and inclusive AI systems. We believe that this requires a novel interdisciplinary approach where AI foundations are co-evolved together with application areas. With a dedicated physical space over almost 1000sqm, we also create an environment for serendipitous collaborations, an incubation space for start-ups, and companies that want to stay at the cutting-edge of AI.
