relAI PhD Program

The Konrad Zuse School of Excellence in Reliable AI (relAI) aims to train future generations of artificial intelligence (AI) experts, who for the first time combine technical brilliance with awareness of the importance of AI’s reliability.

The current technological revolution is largely driven by spectacular progress in AI. Yet, although the huge potential is widely recognized, the lack of a reliable AI technology whose fundamental bases are safety, security, privacy, and responsibility, is still considered a serious issue of concern, limiting its adoption both by industry and society at large.

The relAI program focuses on the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of reliable AI along with domain knowledge in three core application areas for which reliable AI methods are most urgently needed: medicine & healthcare, robotics & interacting systems, and algorithmic decision-making.

The relAI school is embedded in the unique transdisciplinary Munich AI ecosystem, combining the expertise of the two Universities of Excellence Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (LMU) and closely integrates various AI Centers of leading universities worldwide and industry partners.
