50 years of pattern recognition at FAU
50 years ago, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) established the first German Chair of Pattern Recognition. In doing so, it laid the foundation for a discipline that is now one of the central pillars of artificial intelligence.

AI is becoming the control center for efficient, sustainable and competitive production. How AI is revolutionizing industrial production will also be on display at EMO Hannover 2025 from 22 to 26 September.

In this context, the ZVEI is calling for better political framework conditions and is presenting an "Agenda for the industry of tomorrow". The focus is on automation, artificial intelligence, energy technology, microelectronics and defense.
