CAI Staff Receive DIZH Fellowship 2025
For the seventh time, the "ZHAW digital" initiative is supporting researchers working on projects related to digital transformation. This year, the scholarship is awarded to five junior and five senior fellows with doctoral students. Two of the fellows are staff at the CAI - Prof. Dr. Jasmina Bogojeska und Pascal Sager. On behalf of CAI, we congratulate both for their fellowships.
Prof. Dr. Jasmina Bogojeska
Explainable Multimodal AI for Enhanced Diagnosis of Multiple Chronic Diseases
The fellowship aims to develop innovative explainable multimodal AI methodologies for effective early diagnosis and understanding of multiple chronic diseases impacting large populations in Switzerland and globally. In collaboration with USZ clinicians, it seeks to showcase the methodologies' transferability and utility in clinical practice, ultimately transforming healthcare to benefit humanity.

Learning World Models through Actionable Representation for Next-Generation AI
Recent neuroscience studies indicate that the human brain constructs internal models of the world through (inter-)actions, a process likely to fundamentally enhance the generalization, transparency, and efficiency of current AI systems. This proposal aims to incorporate world model learning into AI to enable planning and reasoning, with significant applications in robotics and autonomous systems.
