German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz)

DFKI conducts research on "human-centric AI" in the major groundbreaking areas of AI research and applications with a focus on socially relevant topics and scientific excellence.
We are convinced that AI technologies can help in meeting the great societal challenges we face such as man-made global warming, social injustices, and dangerous diseases. We dedicate ourselves with great energy to work on AI solutions to these tasks. As the largest, independent AI research center worldwide, we initiate, realize and support many activities to develop reliable and trustworthy AI and secure a leading role for Germany and Europe in the international competition.

DFKI is structured as a non-profit public-private partnership and as an application-oriented research center; commercial use of our research is not our primary goal. DFKI research findings are transferred through cooperative agreements with business partners in sponsored projects, through direct orders (predominantly, from DFKI shareholders), and through academic teaching, consulting, spin-offs, and active contributions to the public discourse.
