Research Strategy
Research Strategy
Our approach to research at NorwAI is fundamentally multi-disciplinary, consisting of both technical-oriented and socio-economic research. Current research on AI is diverse and reflect many disciplines or perspectives covering theoretical contributions from a wide range of disciplines together with more applied work from system designers and application developers working with data from many different domains.
Our research is partner-driven and rooted in a strategic and systematic approach towards innovation to create lasting value and impact. The consortium represents considerable breadth on the problem owner side with respect to business needs, experience with artificial intelligence and capabilities for commercializing technological research results to capture value. Sensitivity towards this variety necessitates tailoring of the innovation processes for each user partner. We will adopt a user driven innovation process both with respect to needs common to several partners and needs that are unique to a single partner. The foundation for our approach is dynamic and continual collaboration between partners to iteratively understand strategic needs, research and design solutions and test resulting technologies, tools and methods. It is simple yet effective.
Research in NorwAI will focus on generic research areas within AI that can support the innovation activities in the center. We expect the research areas to be evaluated every year in the center’s lifetime, making sure new areas will be added based on research needs from future innovation areas, current research areas can merge or conclude and come to an end.
