The "KINECT - AI and Sustainable Development" working group at the University of Passau works on the interdisciplinary research focus "Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability". The aim is to network researchers across disciplines and faculties, bundle AI activities and initiate new projects in the areas of research and teaching.
On the one hand, sustainability means that AI-based systems are designed and applied with sustainability in mind. On the other hand, sustainability also includes normative, socio-cultural, economic and ecological framework conditions for the use of AI as well as the use of AI for the sustainable development of society. The University of Passau is ideally positioned for such an interdisciplinary approach.
