AI Excellence Centres In Europe

The first meeting of the European Network of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Excellence Centres ("AI Network") took place at the beginning of October 2020. The AI Network's motto is: "the whole is more than the sum of its parts", which sets the tone for future developments and cooperation in the area of AI. Currently the AI Network consists of five main projects:

• AI4Media: a consortium comprising 30 leading partners in the areas of AI and media (nine universities, nine research centres, 12 industrial partners) aimed at creating next generation AI able to serve media and making sure that the European values of ethical and trustworthy AI are embedded in future AI deployments;
• ELISE: a network of AI research hubs coordinated by Aalto University inviting all ways of reasoning, considering all types of data applicable for almost all sectors of science and industry;
