Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence

Welcome to the homepage of the Open Science Initiative Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence!

Our Open Science Initiative emerged from the interdisciplinary transfer project Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence, which was run at the University of Konstanz from November 2019 to May 2024.

The aim of the transfer project was to transfer knowledge and expertise from the university to society. We focused on communicating topics relating to the fundamentals and areas of application of algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI). Through workshops, seminars and talks, our team encouraged social dialog on these highly relevant and forward-looking technologies.

The project's events were mainly funded by the Vector Foundation as part of the Fundamental Limits of Learning Processes in Artificial Neural Networks research project, but also by numerous other foundations and institutions. Through our 21 school workshops, 6 seminars and 5 training courses, we reached 476 pupils and 298 teachers during the project period. A total of 15 schools and 10 other educational institutions benefited from our offers. 

We are delighted that our project was honored with the Yerun Open Science Award 2023. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all students, teachers, schools and sponsors who have supported and continue to support our open science approaches.

In May 2024, the transfer project developed into an open science initiative. We are continuing the ideas of the transfer project by basing our work on the principles of open science and focusing in particular on science communication. Our offers will continue to be implemented within the framework of the Lake Constance Math Initiative and the local group of KI macht Schule, which you can contact directly if you are interested.

As we are continuing our involvement in other projects, the content of this homepage will largely remain as it was in May 2024.
