Digitisation & Artificial Intelligence
Digitisation is continuously changing all areas of life. Artificial intelligence is accelerating this process – from extremly obvious to almost imperceptible.
Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence in its various forms, cyber and IT security or virtual and augmented reality are in the focus of our analyses. The iit works on questions such as the following:
- How is digitiation changing our areas of life and society?
- What are the prerequisites and success factors for successful digitisation?
- What are the risks and consequences of digitisation and the use of artificial intelligence?
- What are the consquences of digitisation of work processes and work areas?
The iit’s projects and publications on digitisation and artificial intelligence are listed below.
