Spotlight: gAIn — Next Generation AI Computing

15 Jun 2026

gAIn is a joint initiative bringing together leading researchers from Bavaria and Saxony to tackle exactly these challenges.

AI is transforming science and society. Yet today's AI systems continue to face fundamental bottlenecks: they are energy-hungry, often unreliable, difficult to regulate, and run up against hard computational limits.

gAIn is a joint initiative bringing together leading researchers from Bavaria and Saxony to tackle exactly these challenges. The project develops theory-driven hardware-software solutions addressing energy efficiency, reliability and robustness, compliance, and computability.

This research is a collaboration between:

  • Prof. Dr. Holger Boche — Technical University of Munich
  • Prof. Dr. Stefanie Speidel — Technische Universität Dresden / Translational Surgical Oncology
  • Prof. Dr. Frank Fitzek — Technische Universität Dresden / Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks
  • Prof. Dr. Gitta Kutyniok — Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München

The project is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts and the Saxon State Ministry of Science, Culture and Tourism (Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft, Kultur und Tourismus).

Last week, we welcomed our collaborators from Saxony to Munich for a face-to-face meeting at TUM — recapping successes, aligning priorities, and planning ahead.
