Andreas Dengel wants to get AI into more people's hands while he continues to advance the technology.
Sharing that mission and a history of close ties, NVIDIA just joined him and his roughly 1,000 colleagues as a shareholder in the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).
"A study last week said many companies are collecting data, but they don't know what to do with it. We can help them join an increasingly data-driven economy," said Dengel. He serves as head of DFKI's site in Kaiserslautern in southwest Germany, a member of DFKI's management board and the scientific director of its smart data and knowledge services group.
One company is already testing a prototype AI sandbox and catalog DFKI built to let users try deep learning. The catalog includes 35 top neural networks for imaging with audio and video models on the way, targeting commercial use next year.
"Removing the boundaries for companies who want to use AI is very important," said Dengel.
