    Interview with Dr. Thomas Wiltschko
    »Safety Is Essential for the Acceptance of These Systems«

    Dr. Thomas Wiltschko, Manager for Safety of ADAS & AD at Mercedes-Benz AG, is a member of the Safetronic Program Committee, the international conference for the holistic safety of road vehicles. As an internationally recognized expert on ISO 26262 and ISO/TS 5083, he explains in the interview why the interplay of safety standards is essential for a holistic assessment and what opportunities the use of artificial intelligence opens up for the development of safe driver assistance systems.

    Quantum Computing
    Ensuring trustworthiness of quantum AI

    As machine learning is deployed in high-stakes , the urgency of increasing its trustworthiness is undeniable. Methods designed to enforce bounded outputs aim to keep model behavior within clearly defined limits, preventing deviations that could lead to severe consequences . A rapidly emerging field of quantum machine learning (QML) inherits these risks and expands both the attack surface and the potential consequences of failure, motivating further research in this area.

    Industrial Automation
    Setting the Standard for AI-Generated Control Code

    AI is rewriting the rules of software development, but can it safely take the wheel in manufacturing? The partners of the MBO-KISS research project are on a three-year mission to find out. Launched in January 2025, the project is developing benchmarks for reliable, AI-generated control code in mechanical engineering. Halfway through their journey, the team shares an exclusive interim update.

    Artificial Intelligence
    Do you trust your AI agent?

    With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), so-called AI agents are increasingly finding their way into industrial applications. They independently perform tasks or sub-tasks, such as analysis, planning, or support for development processes. In doing so, they are changing not only workflows but also the requirements for the development and operation of industrial systems. The potential appears to be immense.

    Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
    When Intelligent Systems Must Cooperate Autonomously

    In disaster zones and contested territories, the future of mission-critical operations relies on autonomous systems that don't just act, but cooperate. Through Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), researchers at Fraunhofer IKS are empowering autonomous systems to master complex coordination without direct human instruction. This shift from individual automation to intelligent teamwork allows complex systems to navigate demanding environments with unprecedented reliability.

    AI in Cardiology
    Cardiovascular Risk Prediction Through Intelligent ECG Analysis

    Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of death worldwide. Early diagnosis is crucial for taking preventive action. However, risk factors often remain hidden until the first symptoms appear. Together with the University Heart Center Freiburg-Bad Krozingen, Fraunhofer IKS is working on the »AI Cardiology« project to develop a solution that closes the gap between patients´ daily lives and clinical care to strengthen cardiovascular prevention.

    The Quantum Zoo: Playing Your Way Into Quantum Computing

    Quantum computing often sounds like science fiction: particles in two places at once, strange correlations across space, and computers that could one day crack problems beyond any classical supercomputer. But between the headlines and the heavy mathematics, it can be hard to grasp what is happening during a quantum computing operation. The Quantum Zoo project at Fraunhofer IKS provides insight: hands-on quantum computing — not just for students.
