A special feature of the cluster is the interdisciplinary positioning of its partners and members. Science and research are an essential part of this.

The primary goal is to develop projects that we promote and advance through the networking of our network partners.

The AIR network focuses on the following topics:

• Triple Helix (in German)
• House of AI (in German)
• Data Hub (in German)

• Cluster team (in German)
• Members (in German)
• Cooperation partner (in German)

Mobility is one of the areas that poses the greatest problems for society: Energy consumption, ensuring smooth processes and the utilization of global movement routes. At the same time, ever greater flexibility is expected and the world is moving ever closer together due to globalization and the increasing movement of goods and people.

AI methods can predict emerging problems or bottlenecks, inform those involved about the most sparing use of resources and ensure the necessary control and regulation. And all this in the shortest possible time.

Industrial production is one of the fields in which AI is already deeply integrated. Predictive maintenance, smart logistics (e.g. shipment tracking) and batch size 1 production (special & individual production at the price of mass production) are just a few of the topics that companies are researching and working on. AI technologies for predicting signs of wear and tear or possible defects are already in use today.

In this area in particular, artificial intelligence forms a strong basis for developing effective methods and thus making production more efficient. Due to the large amounts of data generated, this area is also of great interest to researchers and is one of the AIR Initiative's main focuses.

Early detection of diseases, personalized cancer therapies or imaging tumor diagnostics whose quality level even exceeds that of human diagnostics - artificial intelligence makes an enormous contribution to supporting doctors in the medical and healthcare sector and thus also benefits patients.

The healthcare system offers many fields of application for the further development and use of AI methods. It can assist with therapies, operations or even infection prevention. This not only means great potential for improving individual healthcare, but also for the entire healthcare sector.

The development and promotion of AI methods in this area is therefore an important aspect that AIR is also focusing on.

Artificial intelligence offers enormous potential for the energy sector, as it can not only make processes more efficient and cost-effective, but also help to optimize energy flows, manage resources and reduce CO₂ emissions. From the intelligent analysis of large amounts of data to optimize energy networks to the automation of maintenance and operating processes - AI can transform numerous areas of the energy industry. Challenges such as data protection, cyber security and seamless integration into existing systems are major hurdles.

Generative AI is changing the cultural and creative industries. It opens up new possibilities - from automated art to the optimization of creative processes. At the same time, the use of AI raises various questions: How does it affect originality and authenticity? Who owns the copyrights to AI-generated works? How can AI be used as a tool to enhance creativity instead of reproducing or replacing it? These topics require a critical examination of the possibilities and limits of AI in the creative industries. AIR's “House of AI” formats provide impetus for this.
