The EPFL AI Center spearheads strategic initiatives and research challenges in AI, hosting large-scale projects in collaboration with diverse partners.
The hub for artificial intelligence at EPFL
Our objective is to cultivate a collaborative environment that encourages multidisciplinary engagement in AI research and its real-world applications. With more than 60 professors committed to AI and machine learning research, EPFL is at the forefront of exploring the profound impacts of modern AI across various sectors, including health, science, and human interaction, through the development of robust, explainable, and ethical AI.
In that sense, the EPFL AI Center is the home for large-scale AI research initiatives (e.g., Swiss AI), and multi-labs AI collaborations with privileged partners at EPFL.
