Zeynep Akata Receives 2025 ZukunftsWissen Prize
Award Highlights Contributions to the Field of Interpretable Machine Learning
We are happy to share that our PI Zeynep Akata has been awarded the 2025 ZukunftsWissen Prize by the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and the Commerzbank Foundation.
The award honors her work in explainable and trustworthy AI, including early contributions to zero-shot learning and recent advancements in multimodal generative models. Akata’s research focuses on making AI decisions transparent and interpretable, helping build systems that explain their outputs in human-understandable ways.
The prize, endowed with €50,000, will be officially presented during the Leopoldina Annual Assembly on September 25, 2025, which this year focuses on artificial intelligence.
Congratulations from us!
