Metrics as an indicator of AI safety: is that enough?
The performance of machine learning (ML) models is typically assessed using metrics. But how trustworthy are these single point estimates? Such metrics reflect reality only partially and can provide us with a false sense of safety. Fraunhofer IKS develops a formal framework for the quantification of uncertainty.

Data-driven diagnostics improve the health of premature babies
Babies born prematurely, i.e. before their organs have fully developed, often suffer from various health problems. These rarely manifest alone, but often occur simultaneously. Researching connections in their co-occurrence helps to develop more effective and more personalized care for premature babies.
