In the morning, several presentations will first address the role of trustworthy AI security, the technical goals of this technology, and its prospects in the context of autonomous driving.
Then, starting at 12 p.m., the new CERTAIN center of the DFKI will be presented, which strengthens the potential of international cooperation, as it is already taking place in Saarland and across borders with Luxembourg and France.

About CERTAIN
The goal of the CERTAIN center is the development of AI technologies and systems with strong guarantees (Trusted AI). For the first time, this allows for a solid foundation for real trust in these new technologies in business, as well as in society, thus enabling a broad and valuable use of AI in all areas of application - even in security-critical scenarios.
In the medium term, the CERTAIN center is to be developed into a competence centre in Europe for trustworthy artificial intelligence (TAI) that is tightly networked in research, industry and society and that is visible from afar and will play a leading role in the research and development of highly reliable AI technologies and their applications.
Right from the start, the new center has been tightly networked with numerous partners on the Saarbrücken campus and within the DFKI, while at the same time building up a broad network: in the greater region, nationally and across Europe, in particular through the CLAIRE initiative. Representatives from various partners will use examples to shed light on this tight network.
The new center was made possible by the generous support of the Saarland as part of the ToCERTAIN project of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
