Academy of Finland offers wide support for AI research – Several Aalto projects funded
Just over 6 million euros was granted to AI-related research projects under the ICT 2023 programme and 7 million euros to research projects under the Academy Programme AIPSE (Novel Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Physical Sciences and Engineering Research).
The research, development and innovation programme ICT 2023 is jointly coordinated by the Academy of Finland and Business Finland (formerly Tekes). The aim of the programme is to further improve Finland’s scientific expertise in computer science and to promote the extensive application of ICT. The AIPSE Academy Programme, in turn, promotes the utilisation of AI in physical sciences and engineering research.
Different types of data-driven methods are continuing to gain in importance in research, administration and industry. The rapid development of various methods that utilise AI owes much to the advances that have been made in machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, data mining and computational and software-based database technology. Other factors contributing to the rise of AI include the exponential growth of computing power. These new methods have broad application prospects in scientific research, too.
