CITEC

Making the interaction with A.I. and future intelligent systems truly human-compatible - this is the mission of CITEC. We funnel and catalyze Bielefeld University's multidisciplinary expertise in studying natural and artificial intelligent agents that interact with and learn from different kinds of environments. Going beyond short-cut learning or emulating human-like behavior on the surface, we aim to unravel and model the cognitive abilities needed to make interaction technology compatible with humans' values and expectations about how meaning and actions are shared or information is communicated.

CITEC has been established in 2007 as part of the Excellence Initiative funded by the Federal and State Governments, and is now a central academic institute of Bielefeld University.
