AI research at UZH is as diverse as the university itself. Across all faculties, our researchers explore how artificial intelligence can advance knowledge, improve society, and be developed responsibly. From medical breakthroughs and legal frameworks to environmental sustainability and language technologies, UZH is a leader in interdisciplinary AI research.

This page brings together the main entry points into our AI research landscape: our core research areas, a growing body of publications, access to tools and infrastructure, and our work on responsible AI policies both within UZH and on the global stage.
