Artificial Intelligence at the Politecnico di Milano

Research directions

 

Since 1973

A big centre for AI

Research on Artificial Intelligence at the Politecnico di Milano began in 1973 with the founding of Italy's first dedicated laboratory in this field, the AIRLab. Today, the Politecnico di Milano is one of the leading European players in AI research, being part of various European excellence networks, including ELLIS, the premier European network for fundamental research in Artificial Intelligence.

In particular, AI is studied and developed across all departments of the university, following four main directions.

 

4 research directions 

01

Methods and
Technologies

The fundamentals of next-generation AI techniques are studied, designing and developing new algorithms, studying their properties, and creating new platforms and tools for computing and accelerating existing algorithms.
