# KI-Kompetenzzentrum Medien (KI.M)

Testing AI applications in a secure, data-sovereign environment for Bavaria's media industry.

## About Us

The KI-Kompetenzzentrum Medien (KI.M) is the central hub for artificial intelligence in Bavaria's media industry. We support media companies in adopting AI solutions that are legally compliant, future-proof, and built on data-sovereign infrastructure.

We provide independent information and hands-on demonstrations of AI capabilities and limitations in media applications. Through our AI Lab, we collaborate with partners to test real-world implementations. Our feasibility studies are published as reports on our website, while the technical foundations and code/models are shared in our repositories.

The KI.M is a joint initiative of the Bayerische Landeszentrale für neue Medien (BLM) and Medien.Bayern GmbH, supported by the Bavarian State Chancellery.

## Using Our Resources

Our repositories contain the technical implementations from our AI Lab projects. In combination with a report each project includes:

- 📚 **Code & documentation**: Ready-to-explore implementations with detailed technical documentation
- ☝️ **Legal considerations**: We highlight relevant legal aspects to be aware of when deploying similar solutions
- 📰 **Project reports**: Comprehensive feasibility studies explaining use cases, methodologies, and findings

> ⚠️ **Important:** All code and models are designed for on-premise deployment, ensuring full data sovereignty and independence from cloud services.

## Completed Projects

Explore our finished projects and their detailed reports to learn from real-world AI implementations in media contexts. Each report includes technical insights, challenges encountered, and practical recommendations.
