AI
This is our time to work on artificial intelligence. At TNO, we create real-world applications by combining our AI expertise with our in-depth knowledge of different domains. Discover what we’re doing at TNO to make the economy more sustainable or view our vacancies right away.

Science and innovation
At TNO, we combine science and innovation with social commitment. Rather than wait around, we keep moving, not alone, but together. And we always have one goal in mind: to help build a strong, sustainable, and future-proof society.
We invite you to contribute your ideas, join in the conversation and work with us, because it is precisely by combining our knowledge, experience, and ideas that we really make a difference.
At TNO we are busy developing AI algorithms and systems that contribute to society. Therefore, we are working on AI innovations in various domains:
- Healthcare
- Mobility
- Cyber security
- Robotics
- Energy
AI helps us analyse faster, design smarter and develop new solutions to some of society’s biggest challenges. But at TNO, it’s not only about what AI can do.
It’s also about the questions it raises. How do you harness the power of AI without losing control of your data? How do you innovate while remaining responsible? How do you ensure algorithms are transparent, reliable and explainable?
Dilemmas our time setters, innovators of TNO face every day. We asked Saskia Lensink and Jesse van Oort who are working on GPT-NL, a Dutch language model built around transparency, privacy and European values to be used by organisations.
TNO employees, the time setters
TNO employees are driven professionals who push boundaries every day. They develop innovative solutions in the areas of health, sustainability, digitalisation, and safety. In doing so, they make their mark on our time, the time setters.
