KIT launches innovative AI courses with SiMa.ai development kits

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), one of Europe's leading universities, is launching a new series of lab-based courses at the Institut für Technik der Informationsverarbeitung (ITIV) aimed at getting students to explore and solve real-world problems using AI. 

To provide a hands-on experience that enables students to achieve tangible and meaningful results, the University has purchased SiMa.ai development kits for each student enrolled. Designed specifically for AI at the Edge, these kits provide an experience that generic, out-of-the-box solutions cannot offer.

“For KIT, equipping students with the most modern, power-efficient and performant technology available was and is paramount,” said Dr. Jürgen Becker, professor at KIT (in the photo on the right). “Armed with dev kits from SiMa.ai, this budding generation of innovators will have the opportunity to work on real world problems as they interact with the next wave of AI applications – AI on edge devices – using some of the best and most specialized machine learning technology available on the market, e. g. based on our new strategic cooperation with a “rising star” like SiMa.ai.”

For SiMa.ai, it is an opportunity to see our technology pushed and tested by some of the brightest young minds in tech. 

“It is a real honor that with KIT one of the best universities has selected us as their partner for edge AI. And of course, any student in these classes is a potential hire, a potential customer or a potential future founder,” said Harry Kroeger, SiMa.ai board member and President of Automotive Business (in the photo on the left). 

“To see a generation of students using and innovating with our tech as they prepare to enter the workforce is an incredibly exciting prospect for us.”
