AI Application and Test Center – The first step into artificial intelligence for SMEs

Using artificial intelligence profitably and securing a competitive edge

In corporate practice, AI is particularly valuable where conventional solutions are not efficient enough or come up against their limits. For increasing numbers of companies, artificial intelligence is thus becoming a crucially important approach for optimizing workflows and increasing productivity.

But SMEs in particular often face a wide range of challenges when it comes to using AI. These include the sometimes high cost of developing and implementing solutions, a lack of in-house specialists and the absence of data for the AI to use.

This is where the AI Application and Test Center, which is currently being established at Fraunhofer IIS/EAS in Dresden, comes in. It focuses especially on the challenges facing SMEs, and its tailored, comprehensive portfolio will help companies use AI profitably and thus secure a competitive edge. The Center aims to lower the barriers to AI use in companies, to help them quickly implement solutions in practice and to establish a platform for sharing practical knowledge.
