Artificial intelligence (AI) is developing rapidly and is being used in more and more areas of technology and development. The use of special neural networks has already led to major successes, particularly in the field of adaptive algorithms. Pattern recognition in complex data sets is an established field of AI. Due to the further development of sensor technology, such data is increasingly being generated in material development and production. Numerous other AI methods are available for various tasks.
In this sub-project, the benefits of AI methods were to be tested at all stages of the value chain. Different AI methods were to be used as examples in other sub-projects, compared with conventional techniques and, if successful, established. Among other things, AI techniques should enable top-down modeling of material and process properties in accordance with specified application requirements. The expertise of ISC employees with regard to the use of AI methods should be significantly expanded.
