At the Berlin universities, there are more than a hundred professors, deal with the topic of Artificial intelligence (AI). The response of the Berlin science state Secretary Steffen noise (SPD) on a small request of the CDU deputies Adrian Grasse and Hans-Christian Hausmann. Most AI scientists conduct research and teach at the Technical University, the Humboldt University and the Charité.

soon, the theme will be strengthened in Berlin once again: 21 new professorships will soon arise solely through the cluster of excellence “Science of Intelligence”, the TU and HU were able to obtain in the exzelllenz the initiative of the universities and funded since the beginning of the year. The Cluster is one of the few projects in the IT area, which is funded by the excellence initiative, highlights the science of administration. Berlin is therefore one of the Central KI-locations in Germany.

50 IT-Professor at the Einstein Center for the Digital Future

That professors that do research in the area of Artificial intelligence, are represented in Berlin so greatly, depends on the efforts to strengthen overall, the big topic of digitisation in the Berlin science. Inspired by an idea of the daily mirror editor Sebastian Turner have been created in the past years in Berlin as we know, many of the new IT-chairs, with private sector support; these work together in the new Einstein Center for Digital Future.

There are 26 professors are now located. For the five additional professorships in the appeal negotiations are underway, a call was accepted to April 2019, eight Calls are to be issued in the near future. Ten appeal procedures are currently being prepared. These include a total of 50 new professorships, one for “Semantic data intelligence” and one for “Robotic Interactive Perception” – examples for the study of Artificial intelligence and are now referred to in the reply to the inquiry.

The CDU is missing a cross-departmental AI-strategy

The CDU is missing, however, a cross-departmental AI strategy – this would be intended to develop the Senate, as follows from the answer, what is come much too late. Amazing is that the science of administration, could not say what happens to graduates in the area, the bring down the Berlin universities. The administration is here, however, to bear in mind that there is a clear identification of these graduates is difficult, there is no uniform Definition for a relevant KI–training. The two CDU deputies suggest, moreover, a special KI-points exchange or an AI talent pool to make the recruitment of skilled workers easier than in the past. Also it is lacking in Berlin.

the projects in the AI-area of “remarkable”, but also Grasse, and Hausmann. In addition to the new cluster of excellence and the Einstein center for two other federally funded facilities, with a focus on AI and machine Learning: the Berlin Big Data Center, and the Berlin centre for Machine Learning. The latter is one of the four competence centres of this kind throughout the country. Not to forget, more than 50 AI Start-Ups, which are now created in Berlin.
