The faculty grows - Call for professorships

Extension of the Bamberg AI Campus

The focus on artificial intelligence, which has been established for many years in research and teaching at the Faculty of WIAI, is being greatly expanded. With seven new professorships, Bamberg was the "big winner" of the Bavarian AI competition, as Science Minister Bernd Sibler explained at the press conference on 15 May 2020. The focus of Bamberg's AI is on the combination of machine learning and knowledge-based approaches to the development of AI systems in partnership with interdisciplinary references to the humanities, cultural studies, humanities and social sciences.
