Artificial intelligence (AI)

The AI programme’s goal is to advance world-class research into artificial intelligence, its applications and its implications for society, building on the wealth of expertise and knowledge across our academic network.

Our programme expertise draws on the cross-disciplinarity at the heart of the Turing, bringing together technical experts to achieve breakthroughs in AI research and its applications, with social scientists, ethicists, legal experts, industry, and policy makers who are considering the use of AI in real-world applications.

We will contribute to leadership around this area, drawing on our links with industry and government to help ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of scientific innovation while building an ethical and regulatory framework for the use of AI that prevents misuse and inappropriate discrimination.

The initial challenges focus on three areas: safe and ethical AI; robotics and autonomous systems (RAS); and multi-agent systems (MAS), which all contribute to the Institute’s mission to build a world-leading centre for AI research.
