AI Initiative of the University of Basel
With the AI Initiative, the University of Basel wants to ensure that we can all benefit from the advantages of AI. The initiative provides services that help answer open questions about AI, identify risks and minimise potential disadvantages.
The University of Basel has launched a broad-based initiative to address the challenges posed to our society by the ongoing development of artificial intelligence (AI). The latest research findings are being bundled and made visible, university teaching is being trained for the age of AI, and employees are being empowered to deal constructively with AI in the course of their work.
