AI Alliance BW

Sub-project: AI data platform for business and society

The AI Alliance BW establishes and connects AI innovation clusters in various cities and regions in the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg.

A sub-project of the alliance focuses on the development of a comprehensive data platform that will provide stakeholders with the easiest possible access to high-quality data sets that are essential for the development and application of reliable AI solutions.

As an ethics partner of the project, the IZEW ensures that aspects such as transparency and accessibility, fairness and non-discrimination as well as privacy protection are effectively taken into account in the development and use of the platform.
