Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is set to have a significant impact on the society of tomorrow. AI provides tools that automate work processes, support human decision makers, make IT systems easier to use and even provide us with entertainment. At ITU, our research covers a broad spectrum of topics in artificial intelligence, ranging from basic research in machine learning, to applications in natural language processing and robotics, to digital entertainment, computer vision and decision support systems.

Computers have already crushed humans at chess, Go and poker. Now, researchers at the IT University of Copenhagen are training an algorithm to beat the best human players in the sci-fi computer game StarCraft. If the project succeeds, it will be another quantum leap forward for artificial intelligence (AI).
