International technology company Continental and the University of Oxford are now conducting joint research in the field of artificial intelligence.

The partnership between Continental and the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford will focus on the possible uses and development of artificial intelligence algorithms, which have the potential to further enhance future mobility applications.

These deep-learning algorithms have the potential to realise highly-reliable visual object detection and human-machine dialog in the future. The first phase of the envisaged three-year partnership began in early November 2016 and includes new postdoctoral research positions at Oxford. There are plans to extend the research scope and the time frame at a later date.
