Super-fast computers for AI: Torsten Hoefler awarded prestigious ACM Prize
Torsten Hoefler wins the prestigious ACM Prize in Computing for his pioneering work in high-performance computing. The fact that supercomputers have become so powerful that AI models can be trained very quickly with very large volumes of data is partly down to his research.
Trustworthy AI – reliable and predictable
ETH Zurich researchers Andreas Krause, Alexander Ilic, Julia Vogt, Petar Tsankov and Margarita Boenig-Liptsin are developing AI that is transparent, interpretable and aligned with societal values. Through the ETH AI Center and the Swiss AI Initiative, they ensure AI systems are both reliable and trustworthy.
