START: AI and University and Campus Management

Exciting times, aren’t they?

We are happy to launch this small site. “We” is the small AI-team of Trainings-Online GmbH. We belive in the power of AI.

KI-Campus.eu wants to report on selected AI activities of the AI team of Trainings-Online GmbH.

We are not an educational portal and not a governmental institution.

Our focus is on selected opportunities and risks of AI for the private higher education sector in Germany.

Our special interest lies in the controllable and legally secure integration of AI through interfaces into campus management systems like e.g. TraiNex.
