We've all heard it, we all know it, we’ve all seen it: Computer science is not regarded as a “beacon” of diversity. In this interview, Professor Kenny Paterson, Head of the Department of Computer Science details his experiences with diversity, the challenges we face, and how D-INFK might be getting a bit better one step at a time.
Monitoring and treating a case of multiple sclerosis requires reliable and long-term data on how the disease is progressing in the person in question. Fitness trackers and smartphones can supply this data, as a research team led by ETH Zurich has now shown.
Artificial intelligence is transforming the way in which art is created and experienced. Are we at the beginning of a new artistic revolution? Or at the end of creativity as we know it? Adrian Christopher Notz from the ETH AI Center puts things in perspective.
Professor Menna El-Assady shines a torch into the black box of generative AI and talks about how a model makes decisions and whether we can correct them.
QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) unveiled its 2024 World University Rankings by Subject. ETH Zurich landed with 3 subjects in the top spot.

Flink Robotics, a newly founded D-INFK spin-off, is crafting cutting-edge software for next-generation robots to enable automation anywhere and for everyone. Professor Stelian Coros, doctoral student Simon Huber and former postdoc Moritz Geilinger are the co-founders.
For his fundamental contributions to cryptography and information security, Professor Ueli Maurer from the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science has been appointed Full Member of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW). Congratulations!
Generative AI has learnt to communicate and intervenes in public debates. This harbours great risks. The tech companies behind this development should not be overlooked. Prof. Florian Tramèr and his Spy Lab, Prof. Menna El-Assady.
