AI for the Sciences
The greatest potential of artificial intelligence may lie not only in solving existing tasks more efficiently, but in fundamentally transforming science itself. The Hector Fellow Academy’s new video profile, “AI in Science: How AI Is Changing the Questions We Ask – Klaus-Robert Müller,” explores how artificial intelligence is enabling new discoveries and why it is poised to shape the future of research for years to come.
EVENTS
Cedalion Workshop
This scientific workshop introduces researchers to Cedalion, a Python-based toolbox for advanced fNIRS and DOT analysis in naturalistic settings. Built on HOMER3 and AtlasViewer, it integrates machine learning and multimodal data processing for cutting-edge neuroimaging research.
BIFOLD Summer School 2026
The 2026 Berlin Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Society invites researchers and practitioners to explore the parameters which have to be considered when AI systems are designed to act autonomously. The programme will focus on fundamental questions at the interface between autonomous systems, trustworthy machine learning, and robotics, as well as deployment in critical areas such as healthcare and scientific infrastructures.
