Block recently announced as part of the European Union’s efforts to stay in the race of Artificial Intelligence (AI) € 200 billion ($ 208 billion) funding program for success technology,
This US President Donald Trump launched the multinational dollar AI projects in January and China made headlines with its big language model (LLM) called Dipsek.
Bureaune Omar, Professor of Artificial Intelligence at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), told DW that AI is running the rapid emergence of the new business model. But, he warned, “The disappearance on this will make us feel great, so we need to step on accelerator.”
What is the mastermind behind Germany’s leading AI specialist, German technology startup Black Forest Labs. The company has developed an image generator that has also assured the American enterprise capital providers and Elon Musk’s social media platform X which has integrated the AI Tool.
Opportunity ‘beyond the big foundation model’
But the Black Forest Labs is an externally more in the world of the so -called foundation model, dominating by the US and Chinese companies. A foundation model is an AI neural network – trained on mountains of raw data, usually with unsafe learning – which can be adapted with a wide range of tasks.
The market for large foundation models is very high in the hands of AI Heavyweight Search, Openai’s chat, Google’s Gemini, Perplexity, Midjorney and Dal-E. According to media reports, China’s Dipsek is considered a skilled foundation model for lesson processing.
The German company Alpha Alpha is located in Heidelberg, ie to launch a foundation model. However, the results failed to influence, inspired the company to move towards AI applications adapted to organizations, businesses and government agencies.
Omar believes that the opportunity for German companies in AI wants “outside the foundation model”. AI application for drug, customer communication and special industrial areas, he said, profitable business in future may mean.
‘At the forefront of research’
Kathrina Morik shares this perspective. Now retired razor co-established the Lamor Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence at Dortmund, Germany. She sees the large language model as the entrance to AI – similar to the emergence of a smartphone that provided access to many applications to users.
“We use language models as an interface, for example, a robot, a booking system, or a recommended platform,” he said that the powerful and export -oriented small and medium size of Germany said that he said that he said that Germany’s powerful and export Companies to develop special applications by saying that it can benefit. “When it comes to research, we are at the forefront. We have a great talent.”
However, many AI talents from Germany are currently leaving for the US after graduating, “said Morik. “We train magnificent minds, but then they leave because we only provide the subject temporary contracts,” he said.
Moric, a part of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German data analytics firm Rapidminer, said he had the first experience with the brain drain. The company’s analytical tool was developed at the technical university of Dortmund, but later increased in the US where it was eventually sold.
In Germany, she said, companies were simply not paying for the services of the rapidminer because they “expect to get such search services for free.”
AI has large scale capacity for manufacturing
Moric believes that Germany requires a broad “cultural change” to make Germany a global AI hub. “I don’t know why there is such a low desire to use here,” he said.
A region where Germany is already a pioneer, in intelligent, distributed and embedded system. The thesis consists of small sensors that monitor procedures and can autonomally interfere, searching for manufacturing operations.
Moric feels that it is “incredibly valuable” for the manufacturing sector, even if it cannot be in the headlines. “
As an example, he cited a collaboration with the dortmund-based pump manufacturer, his company identified 82 potential AI applications to implement Wilo’s Smart Factory Operations. “AI’s capacity is very big […] If we fail to tap in it, we will go to the Industrial Museum, “Moric warned.
In this regard, Moric is important for the recent announcement of Openaa to open a Munich office. She wants German talents to “stay here” and “benefit our companies and industries from AI.”
She is therefore assumes that it is important for Europe to continue developing its foundation model and “exploiting its huge trevus of industrial data.”
European AI is more reliable, he said, which is why the successful AI model discovers as the Tecain -7B model of the German Fraunhofer Institute and must expand the AI applications developed by the French company Mistral.
LMU Munich’s Björn Ommer is therefore as necessary to national and European initiatives. While Germany may not “require the ultimate AI that performs better than everything, he said that it is still important to continue working in the field of Foundation model.
“We don’t know how big technology companies want,” said. “If access to technology is suddenly banned, the sovereign will become important.”
