New institute is launched: German AI Security Institute starts in Berlin

Germany's new Institute for the Safety of Artificial Intelligence (AISI Deutschland) has started operations in Berlin. The institute's tasks include assessing the opportunities and risks posed by AI models in Germany and strengthening the country's resilience in the AI sector. The Bundesnetzagentur and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) will form the core of the new institution in its initial phase.

The BSI will focus on cybersecurity, while the Bundesnetzagentur will handle safety aspects, such as preventing unintended errors in AI systems. The institute will advise the German government and cooperate with European and transatlantic partners.
