Artificial intelligence (AI) is omnipresent in our society. A kick-off event at the University of Paderborn's Future Mile 2 in March marked the official start of the SAIL research network, in which scientists are developing the foundations for the sustainable design of AI components. "We are proud to be part of such a large and promising project. SAIL is a good example of the successful cooperation at Campus OWL. It confirms the outstanding research we are doing in the field of artificial intelligence," said Prof. Dr. Johannes Blömer, Vice-President for Research and Academic Promotion at the University of Paderborn.

Around 90 scientists are involved in the four-year collaborative project, which is being funded by the North Rhine-Westphalian government with up to 14.8 million euros. They are investigating how AI systems can work in a sustainable, transparent, safe and resource-saving manner over a long product life cycle. The interdisciplinary network includes the Paderborn University, the Bielefeld University, the Bielefeld University of Applied Science and Arts (HSBI) and the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences (TH OWL). SAIL stands for "SustAInable Life-cycle of Intelligent Socio-Technical Systems".
