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. Applications for the relAI PhD program are now open 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 t
