The Clusters of Excellence “Bilateral AI” will advance basic research at the highest scientific level in the forward-looking fields of research on aging and AI (BilateralAI, 2024[18]). Under the coordination of the Johannes Kepler University Linz, the ‘Bilateral AI’ research project combines two important strands of research in the field of AI to date, namely sub-symbolic AI (machine learning) and symbolic AI (knowledge representation and reasoning).

COE Bilateral Artificial Intelligence:The Bilateral research project, coordinated by the Johannes Kepler University Linz, combines research in two fields of artificial intelligence: sub-symbolic AI (machine learning) and symbolic AI (knowledge representation and reasoning). The project aims to bringing together both approaches, with the common goal of developing the foundations of Broad AI. Broad AI could be capable of coming to its own conclusions and demonstrating comprehensive cognitive abilities. While existing AI programs like ChatGPT are currently causing a sensation, they ultimately only evaluate existing data. New AI systems could plan better, adapt quickly to changing situations, and become creative in a broader sense.COE Quantum Science Austria:The Cluster of Excellence Quantum Science Austria aims to advance basic research in quantum science and expand the frontiers of knowledge, making it a driver for future innovations. Its focus is on fundamental questions about the quantum nature of space, time, and gravity, new paradigms in quantum information science, and the physics of quantum many-body systems. Its research potential lies also in the highly innovative field of next generation high performance computing, quantum computing and their combination.
