Technology is no longer just a tool – it’s a force reshaping industries, transforming societies, and challenging our understanding of reality. But with this unprecedented power comes a critical question: are we truly in control of technology, or are we merely at its mercy?
Artificial Intelligence
The future in which our children will live doesn’t ask if we are ready – it simply arrives, and we must decide what role we leave for humans in it.
As artificial intelligence gathers pace, small states face a stark choice between digital promise and democratic peril.
The Estonian startup KindelAI, co-founded by TalTech alumnus Andrei Aksjonov, believes the era of mechanics fumbling in the dark under the hood is coming to an end. KindelAI is developing a car diagnostics solution where decisions are no longer based on gut feeling but on data-driven artificial intelligence.
The Estonian deep-tech company MindChip, the first official spin-off from TalTech, is developing an AI-powered autonomous captain – an intelligent system capable of independently navigating a vessel, assessing situations, and responding to the surrounding environment.
The Estonian startup R8 Technologies has created a virtual colleague who keeps buildings warm, wallets full, and energy consumption under control.
Estonia needs a new leap in development in the age of artificial intelligence – and the key figures in this are AI engineers who know how to develop and steer future technologies.
Artificial intelligence has established itself, but its true role in our society is still unfolding – and universities play a decisive part in this.
Students from TalTech’s Tartu College developed a machine vision-based quality control system capable of automatically detecting knitting defects on a production line. What began as a corridor conversation ended with a real industrial solution.
When exploring what exciting work TalTech has done in the space sector, the usual response is always the satellites Koit and Hämarik. However, the work with Koit and Hämarik is by no means the only space-related project at the university.
