Working student in the field of Safe AI

at  Cognitive Systems

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.
Safe Intelligence - this forms the core brand of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS. Connected cognitive systems drive innovation in many sectors, including mobility, healthcare, and automation in industry. Disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing play a key role here. Fraunhofer IKS is conducting research to ensure that these applications are reliable and verifiably safe. We consider resilience and intelligence to be part of the same process.

In safety-critical AI applications, it is important to assure the intended functionality of the AI system. Amongst others, a run-time monitor can be used for detecting failures during operation. You will support our colleagues in our scientific projects with the systematic testing and evaluation of methods, e.g., for out-of-distribution detection. Your work will help us in finding the best methods in order to satisfy the AI-related safety requirements.
