2025-2026 Perspective: From Making AI Work to Making It Matter
The past decade of AI was largely driven by one question: how to make large language models work at all. How to scale them, stabilize them, and push their capabilities far enough to be usable.
Making AI empathic – ERC Starting Grant for Prof. Dr. Lucie Flek
A major success for the b-it: The European Research Council (ERC) is providing millions of euros for projects in the fields of computer science, economics, and evolutionary biology. Prof. Dr. Lucie Flek from Data Science & Language Technologies Group has been awarded with the popular EU funding to continue her research on social parameters in AI.
Celebrating our Achievements in 2024: A Year of Innovation, Collaboration, and Growth
The past decade of AI was largely driven by one question: how to make large language models work at all. How to scale them, stabilize them, and push their capabilities far enough to be usable.
How large language models affect social collaboration and why we need to shape it
New study conducted by Prof. Dr. Bajorath and Sanjana Srinivasan at b-it and the Lamarr-Institute at the University of Bonn show the potential of language models in finding new medications. The researchers have created a chemical language model comparable to ChatGPT to predict potential active ingredients with special properties. Following a training phase, the AI was able to exactly reproduce the chemical structures of compounds with known dual-target activity that may be particularly effective medications.

Lamarr NLP Researchers Train Multilingual Large Language Models Mitigating Stereotype Bias
Bias in large language models is a well-known and unsolved problem. In our new paper “Do Multilingual Large Language Models Mitigate Stereotype Bias?” we address this challenge by investigating the influence of multilingual training data on model bias reduction.
Meeting AI experts in the USA: Prof. Dr. Lucie Flek on delegation trip
A visit to Stanford University, Microsoft and Google – Professor Dr. Lucie Flek, Professor of Data Science & Language Technologies at b-it, accompanied NRW Minister President Hendrik Wüst on a delegation trip to the USA.
