ScaDS.AI (Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence) Dresden/Leipzig is a center for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data with locations in Dresden and Leipzig. It is one of five new AI centers in Germany funded under the federal government’s AI strategy and is to be established as a permanent research facility. Since 2019, the expansion into an AI center has been supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Free State of Saxony. Both locations are each connected to a local university, thus to the TU Dresden and the University of Leipzig.
