OsloMet AI Lab administers research and student projects in artificial intelligence, both applied and basic research, including theory and the use of machine learning in different areas.
OsloMet Artificial Intelligence Lab (AI Lab) is a joint research centre for OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University and SimulaMet (simulamet.no) located in the heart of Oslo. The Department of Computer Science is the host of the centre located in Pilestredet 52 in Oslo.
The Applied Artificial Intelligence research group (AAI) took the initiative to the lab, which has members from many research groups at OsloMet and SimulaMet, and is at the forefront of artificial intelligence in Norway. Al Lab’s partners are
- Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium (NORA, nora.ai)
- Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe (CLAIRE, claire-ai.org)
- IBM Norge (ibm.com)
- Norwegian Open AI Lab (ntnu.edu)
- Gründergarasjen (grundergarasjen.no)
- NORA.startup (nora.ai)
