Why can’t AI say ‘I don’t know’?
Overconfident AI systems can be dangerous, so researchers are teaching them humility
Strategic corporate partner Saab
Saab's long-term commitment to cooperation provides good conditions for scientific breakthroughs and the creation of new innovations.
In 2017, Aalto University and the defense and security company Saab concluded a ten-year collaboration contract with the aim of strengthening and deepening their research collaboration, especially in long-term sensor technology research.
At the moment, there are over 10 research projects ongoing involving professors, postdoctoral researchers and doctoral and master's students from Aalto and Saab. Represented fields include e.g. cognitive systems, artificial intelligence, microwave and antenna technologies, hydroacoustics, space technology, and quantum technology.
One of the forms of collaboration is the Industrial PhD doctoral programme funded by Saab. Around ten doctoral candidates from Aalto are currently participating in the programme. The candidates will complete their doctoral thesis at Aalto while working in Saab's product development projects. The goal is to train at least 20 new PhD's during 10 years.

Doctoral students thank Saab’s experts for their help and the company’s real-life application challenges.
More certainty for deep learning
With the support of Saab, doctoral student Lassi Meronen is developing models for deep learning that can be used, for example, in radars and medical diagnosis.
Millimeter-wave technology is changing network connections
In addition to wireless data transmission, the technology helps to develop radars.
The need for satellite-independent navigation is growing
With the support of Saab, doctoral student Jouko Kinnari is researching how positioning would be possible without satellite positioning systems.
How do you know where a drone is flying without a GPS signal?
In Jouko Kinnari's doctoral dissertation, the location of a drone can be determined using map data and sensors.
