    Better collaboration between people and digital systems

    Article: With AI our computers learn to understand us and the environment

    Artificial intelligence opens up countless opportunities for Deutsche Bahn to use data more efficiently, optimise processes and develop new, sustainable business models.

    To make the future of mobility even smarter, more digital and, at the same time, more efficient, we must effectively structure and process an ever-increasing amount of data, information and connected processes. Artificial intelligence (AI) enables machines to learn from experience and find clear patterns in large amounts of data – including unstructured data such as texts, images and sound. This ensures that clear findings and conditions can be extracted from a multitude of information. DB Systel's AI solutions enable the DB Group's business units to integrate low-cost, ready-to-use AI services in a short time.

    "The services on the AI.Platform are developed in close collaboration with the DB-group and users. Thanks to joint prioritisation, we enable rapid deployment and scaling so that as many business units as possible are quick to benefit from AI and workbench services."

    AI models are particularly adept at recognising patterns – for example to translate language and images for machines to control automation systems. We offer numerous advanced AI services as ready-to-use interfaces with the AI.Platform. These AI solutions are completely tailored to the requirements of our Group partners. Short coordination processes lead to new applications, which are quickly deployed and undergo constant continued development.
