(PRESS RELEASE) BERLIN, September 30, 2023 — /EuropaWire/ — On Thursday evening in Berlin, WELT presented the “German AI Award” for the fifth time. Since 2018, Germany’s top prize in the field of synthetic intelligence is awarded to Outstanding Achievements in the Application and Progression of AI.
The famous jury formed by German AI pioneer and entrepreneur, Chris Boos, awarded the €35,000 AI Innovation Award and the Axel Springer Tower AI User Award. With on-site viewers and live streaming, they also named the winner of the AI Start-Up Award. The annual keynote address was delivered this year by the Federal Minister for Digital Affairs and Transport, Dr. Volker Wissing.
Carolin Hulshoff Pol, CEO of the WELT group: “AI is one of the defining topics of our time and has been debated internationally since ChatGPT. We are proud to award the “German AI Prize” for the fifth time to make visible those in whose paintings synthetic intelligence is used and developed to gain advantage from society and thus show the wonderful inventions that are being created in Germany and Europe.
Volker Wissing, Federal Minister for Digital Affairs and Transport: “We want to create better framework situations for virtual inventions in our country. AI developers want easy access to data, clarity on long-term standards, and tailored investment offerings. We have solid landscape studies on AI and cutting-edge startups. I would like to meet them.
Innovation Award for Professor Josef “Sepp” Hochreiter
The winner of the 2023 AI Innovation Award, awarded for groundbreaking achievements in the studies and progression of synthetic intelligence, is Professor Josef “Sepp” Hochreiter, a world-renowned AI scientist and president of the Johannes Kepler Institute for Machine Learning at the University of Linz. Professor Hochreiter receives this award for his development of a high-performance AI language model. Hochreiter is grateful for a great honor and confirmation of his studies, but this award is also an incentive to further expand artificial intelligence in the sense of people and for the general public. long-term advantages of society.
Chris Boos, jury member and AI entrepreneur: “Sepp Hochreiter is one of the absolute leaders in synthetic intelligence. Because he does what scientists do, which is share his knowledge, solicit feedback, and teach others, he has not yet garnered the public popularity he and his effects deserve. That’s why I’m glad that a down-to-earth researcher, instructor and user is now receiving the “German AI Award”.
User Award for the European Molecular Biology Laboratory
The unendowed AI User Award went to the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), based in Heidelberg, which particularly promotes microbiology through the use of AI in areas such as structural biology, symbol research and generational progression; for the jury Boos, an optimal winner of the German AI Award: a European project with a strong German foundation that combines science and entrepreneurship with special attention to society, education and clinical progress. By using AI, EMBL overcomes the complexity of clinical challenges, reduces the burden of experiments, and thus decisively advances its field, according to Boos.
Professor Edith Heard, Director General of EMBL, said: “It is wonderful that EMBL’s contributions to AI-based foreign studies and clinical progression are recognised through the German AI Award. We are revered for the popularity of our paintings and look forward to proceeding to take advantage of this good fortune with long-term progressions in the application of AI in life science studies.
Syte wins AI Start-Up Award
The young company Syte from Münster won the AI Start-Up award. The startup identifies as yet untapped prospects for an economical and climate-friendly structure based on huge knowledge sets and aided by AI.
