Congratulations to relAI fellow Björn Ommer

We are excited to congratulate our relAI fellow, Prof. Björn Ommer, on receiving the prestigious 2024 German AI Innovation Award!   

This recognition honors his pioneering work on Stable Diffusion, a generative AI model that has democratized image generation. Stable Diffusion enables users to create high-quality images from text descriptions, making advanced image generation accessible through open-source software without the need for expensive hardware. This innovation exemplifies our mission at relAI, which focuses on advancing reliable AI systems. 

The German AI Award, presented by WELT, recognizes innovations that drive the future of AI both in theory and application. Björn Ommer’s recognition reflects his significant role in shaping the evolution of reliable and transparent AI systems. 

Our heartfelt congratulations!
