This event is part of an event series „KWIM Lecture Series“.

Artificial intelligence is currently leading to one breakthrough after the other, in industry, public life, and the sciences. However, one current major drawback is the lack of reliability of such methodologies.

In this talk we will take a mathematical viewpoint towards this problem, showing the power of such approaches to reliability. We will first provide an introduction into this vibrant research area, and also discuss the impact of the EU AI Act and the G7 Hiroshima Process. We will then survey recent advances, in particular, concerning generalization and explainability. This is followed by a discussion of fundamental limitations, which affect reliability of artificial intelligence, and show solutions to this serious obstacle in terms of an intriguing connection to next generation AI computing.
