In collaboration with scientists from the TUD Dresden University of Technology, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), and the TUM Munich University of Technology, the pilot project GAIn focuses on developing innovative AI hardware and corresponding software concepts. The project aims to address key challenges in energy consumption, predictability, reliability, and legal implementation. A core objective is to significantly reduce the energy consumption of AI-based applications while enhancing their predictability and reliability for different applications such as surgical robotics.

Building on the foundation of the Cluster of Excellence CeTI, the 6G-life research hub, and the Konrad Zuse Schools SECAI and Excellence in Reliable AI (RelAI), the project has now officially launched. With the support of the Free State of Saxony and Bavaria, it has secured funding of six million euros until 2027, along with an additional three million euros from TU Dresden. Through its interdisciplinary collaboration and strong institutional network, the GAIn project will lay the foundation for the next generation of AI systems. By addressing critical challenges in energy efficiency, reliability, and legal compliance, the project will drive forward technological progress while strengthening Germany’s position as a global leader in AI and computing technologies.
