“Artificial intelligence is no longer a topic for the future, but a crucial key technology for our actions today. It is essential that excellent research and development continue to be carried out in order to advance public administration and our state,” explained Minister of Digitalization Dörte Schall in Kaiserslautern. “I am therefore delighted that this cooperation agreement lays the foundation for an ethically responsible, user-oriented, and stable AI landscape in Rhineland-Palatinate.”
Prof. Dr. Andreas Dengel, Excecutive Director of DFKI Kaiserslautern, emphasized: “One of the goals of the collaboration is to research and design new AI-based software solutions to demonstrate the performance and benefits of such innovative technologies in the context of state administration. At the same time, we want to gain further in-depth insights into practical applications in this area, document them systematically, and make them available in a way that is both comprehensible and reproducible.”
The cooperation agreement that has now been signed regulates the legal principles for cooperation between the state of Rhineland-Palatinate and DFKI on future project contracts, primarily in the field of AI research and development, and is initially set to run for three years.
