We all make mistakes: we are human after all. But what about machines? As they are programmed by humans, they are also prone to errors. In the case of automatic text generation, researchers from the Center of Artificial Intelligence (CAI) developed a new way of proof checking the various systems – fully automated. Machines evaluating […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making headlines recently. AI tools that can create text or images (e.g., ChatGTP or Dall-E) are on the rise. Felix Schmitt-Koopmann asked himself how AI could automatically detect mathematical formulae in a text and ultimately help visually impaired people. He created the new database “FormulaNet” to take a step closer on […]

And the new Bachelor’s program “Data Science” at the ZHAW School of Engineering has started well in the last semester. But what does the career of a data scientist look like? Catherine […]
To create the political and economic framework conditions for Artificial Intelligence (AI), policymakers rely on advice from people in science and academia. Ricardo Chavarriaga, Head of CLAIRE Office Zurich and researcher at the ZHAW Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CAI), is driving the responsible use of AI with the pan-European CLAIRE network. He explains what politicians […]
