Creating a new generation of algorithms

SURE AI is a research center that builds the mathematics behind trustworthy AI—so safety, fairness, and sustainability are not just goals, but proven properties.

We advance core theory in probability, statistics, optimization, and control to model uncertainty and risk, then turn that theory into algorithms with guarantees on accuracy, robustness, and resource use.

Partnering with industry and the public sector, we convert these foundations into open tools, benchmarks, and training that set the standard for responsible AI in practice.

Sustainable

Sustainable AI means building and using AI in a way that’s good for people and the planet over the long run. It keeps energy, water, and hardware use low and is affordable to run and maintain. In practice, that means building efficient models with a low environmental impact. This is a central topic for the SURE AI research center.

Risk-Averse

Risk-averse AI means building systems that avoid unnecessary risk and harm, and that are robust to handle challenges and scale without breaking. They know when they’re unsure, choose the safer option, and ask a human when needed. We test them thoroughly, set clear limits, and add backups so they fail safely and keep mistakes small.

Ethical

Ethical AI means building human values right into the algorithms, so they’re ethical from the inside out. Ethical AI means building systems that treat people fairly and with respect. They protect privacy, use data responsibly, and avoid bias, with clear rules about what the AI can and cannot do. We keep choices transparent, explain decisions in plain language, and make sure people—not machines—stay accountable and in control.
