Artificial Intelligence (AI) began to peak gradually in the 2000s and has resulted from the combination of machine learning with Big Data. The algorithms behind these systems operate through the statistical correlation of the data analyzed and thus enable the machines to perform basic computational functions.
It is well known that a variety of scientific fields, applications and technologies such as e.g. Large Scale Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Data Science, Robotics etc. are practiced in combination under the broader interdisciplinary subject of AI, which is today perhaps the most interesting technological object in the world with huge scientific, economic and social dimensions and perspectives.

The objective of the Artificial Intelligence Institute (AII) is to conduct basic and applied research in the scientific area of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with particular emphasis on the foundations, but also in the development of applications for solving real world problems. Since AI touches on a wide variety of scientific areas, such as cognitive psychology, philosophy, computer science, mathematics, etc., the primary purpose of AII is developing synergies with all the Departments of the University of Patras, which either have research activity within one of areas of AI or deal with research issues in which AI can provide solutions.

The objectives of I.T.N. included:
• Promotion and development of research in the field of AI and production of new knowledge.
• Promoting the collaboration of scientists and scientific teams from different scientific fields.
• Outreach by creating collaborations with other Universities and Research Centers of Greece and the European Union, but also on a global scale.
• Claim funding from National and European competitive research/development programs.
• Claim funding through the provision of services to third parties (private sector such as media, industry, banks, organizations).
• Contribution to education in AI both at undergraduate and postgraduate level with the participation of researchers of the institute in relevant study programs or the creation of new study programs at the University of Patras and/or in collaboration with other Universities.
• To attract both young emerging scientists, as well as internationally renowned researchers, who are engaged in research/development in the area of AI.
• To organize workshops, seminars and international scientific conferences in the field of AI and its applications.
• To connect with the local society and to contribute towards meeting the educational, research, social, cultural and developmental needs of the local community and the country.
