Using Data & AI to change the world

Welcome to the site of a research group that deals with data collection, analysis, and visualization, as well as applications of artificial intelligence in various fields.

Belgrade DIH was formed on the foundations of the Laboratory for Data Analysis and Application of AI within the University of Belgrade, School of Electrical Engineering (ETF). The laboratory was reopened in 2016, as a successor to the first Data Processing Laboratory, founded in 1971 at the ETF.

Why is Data and AI important?

Data + AI = inseparable components of today's technological landscape

Data & AI play a pivotal role in shaping industries and societies worldwide.

Data is the lifeblood of AI systems, providing the raw material necessary for machine learning algorithms to analyze, learn, and make predictions. In recent years, digital information has grown exponentially, fueled by the proliferation of connected devices and online platforms, making the availability of vast and diverse datasets unprecedented. This abundance of data serves as a fertile ground for AI applications, empowering organizations to extract valuable insights, optimize processes, and drive innovation across various domains.

Digital transformation of various businesses and sectors of the economy and society

The importance of data and AI lies in their transformative potential across a myriad of sectors.

We can use AI algorithms in healtcare, finance, manufacturing, transportation, education, agricultare, retail, marketing, entertainment, etc.

The winners in every industry will be data + AI companies. Among other goals, our laboratory (hub) aims to help SMEs digitally transform.

Big Data and AI for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Data and AI hold the promise of addressing some of humanity's most pressing challenges today, including climate change, resource scarcity, and healthcare disparities.

Researchers and policymakers can develop innovative solutions to mitigate environmental risks, optimize resource allocation, and improve public health outcomes by leveraging data-driven insights and AI technologies. Additionally, data and AI have the potential to foster economic growth, spur job creation, and enhance productivity by empowering individuals and organizations with actionable insights and intelligent automation capabilities.

The synergy between Data and AI - A new era of innovation and opportunity

Effective utilization of data-driven insights and AI technologies has become imperative for organizations and societies to thrive in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

By harnessing the power of data and AI, individuals and organizations can unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency, agility, and creativity, driving progress and prosperity across diverse domains and shaping a brighter future for future generations.
