Photo Recap: Berlin Summer School on AI and Society
Four days focused on the responsible design of AI-driven autonomous systems, robotics, and physical AI. BIFOLD Co-Director Klaus-Robert Müller opened the summer school with his reflections on safety, which should be built in from the outset, a principle that applies as much to everyday practice as to every AI model.
Beyond the Snapshot: New AI takes a dynamic view of Cancer Diagnosis
A consortium led by Dr. Mina Jamshidi Idaji (BIFOLD/TU Berlin), with LMU Munich and UKE Hamburg, is uniting oncologists, pathologists and ML researchers to build AI that combines tissue images with molecular and clinical data. Funded with €1.5M over 3 years, starting Oct 1, 2026.
What does it take to design Generative AI responsibly?
Ahead of the 2026 Berlin Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Society, keynote speaker Prof. Dr. Iyad Rahwan (Max Planck Institute for Human Development) discusses the risk of "moral distancing" in AI delegation and what happens when thousands of agents interact, negotiate, and copy each other's mistakes.
