InnoTeam “ReCAIcle” - Towards Circular Economy: AI-based Conversational Agent for Sustainable Behavior Change (project duration 01.10.2024 - 30.09.2027)
In collaboration with seventhings GmbH, the Chair of Industrial Design Engineering and the Chair of Business Administration, esp. Marketing, an AI-supported Conversational Agent (CA) is being developed to promote sustainable behavior among users: With the help of the CA, users of the asset management software from seventhings GmbH are to be motivated to use resources in the sense of a circular economy. If the scientific proof of concept is successful, such a system can be adapted in various sectors (e.g. food industry, construction industry and mobility).
The project in the field of industrial research can generate AI-supported solutions for behavioral changes towards the sustainable use of resources. In the long term, the results of the work can be transferred into an independent software solution. By developing at the Dresden site, AI research can be carried out “made in Germany” in compliance with regulations, placing particular emphasis on data security and data protection. The solution can be made available to local SMEs. The potential development as a SaaS solution can achieve maximum market penetration in the Free State of Saxony.
The “InnoTeam” program is part of Saxony's technology funding and is supported by Sächsische Aufbaubank GmbH with regard to the establishment of cooperations between companies and universities in the formation of competence teams.
