Research Outputs

Our work is funded by UKRI grant reference number EP/S023437/1.

ART-AI’s mission is to help society benefit from better AI through two central pathways to impact:

1. Spreading awareness of issues and solutions through engagement with stakeholders and broader society.

2. Training graduates to be “specialists with perspectives”, with expert knowledge in their primary discipline coupled with knowledge of the broader issues arising from the use of AI.


Economic and Societal Impact

Our partners benefit from inclusion in our boards, workshops and seminars. Student placements offer an exchange of ideas and expertise, so their research has direct and immediate impact in industry, policy and society.

Impact on Policy and Standards

Through ART-AI’s advisors, partners and staff, we are connected to the British Computer Society, IEEE Standards Association, International Standards Organization (ISO) and European Commission High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence, providing for multi-directional flows of ideas and influence.

Academic Impact

Academic exchange visits and open workshops enable the flow and dissemination of ideas globally. We deliver conventional academic impact via conference attendance and publications.

Impact through Public Engagement

We need to explain the potential risks and benefits of AI to the public. Students receive bespoke training in public engagement and we use social media and lay articles to present our work to a wider audience and highlight our achievements.
