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.
