We would like to use the great potential of AI to work together to design secure and future-oriented solutions for the future!
Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly the key technology of the future and will significantly shape our society and economy. However, responsible use of AI is crucial. Only by ensuring that AI systems are used ethically and sustainably can we successfully overcome the challenges of the coming decades.
At a time when German companies are striving for a leading role in AI value creation, we must ensure that this leadership is based on principles of digital responsibility and European sovereignty. Creating an ecosystem like IPAI is crucial to pool resources and advance the development of AI.
IPAI goes beyond pure economic value creation. We are aware of the importance of sustainability and ethical responsibility in AI development. Our platform promotes collaboration between research, AI development and established partners to ensure that AI technologies are used for the benefit of society.
At the same time, our goal is to raise awareness of the topic of artificial intelligence among the general public and to provide access to education and discussions about AI for everyone. Only by comprehensively addressing AI can we ensure that it is used responsibly and for the benefit of everyone.
IPAI sees itself as a world-class innovation platform for applied AI. We act as transformation accelerator and promote co-creation as part of our function as an open innovation vehicle.
As a pioneer and thought leader for the European Way of AI, a flagship project of the state of Baden-Württemberg for all of Germany and Europe, we want to be an international magnet that brings together the brightest minds in one place with outstanding infrastructure.
As an internationally visible center of innovation and value creation, the AI Innovation Park is intended to make an important contribution to ensuring that Baden-Württemberg plays a leading role worldwide in exploiting the enormous economic potential of ethically responsible AI. At the same time, it is intended to set standards for climate protection and sustainability as a major AI flagship project.
Back in 2018, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economics, Labor and Tourism came up with the first idea for an AI Baden-Württemberg innovation park. A place where research, experimentation and information can be carried out on the topic of artificial intelligence.
A feasibility study by the Ministry of Economics, involving stakeholders and the public, then formed the basis for the competition to select a location for the Baden-Württemberg KI Baden-Württemberg Innovation Park in the state of Baden-Württemberg. As a result of the competitive process for site selection, the Council of Ministers agreed, by decision of July 27, 2021, to realize the KI Baden-Württemberg Innovation Park in Heilbronn with funding from the state.
