AI for life
Advancing human potential through AI innovation to improve health, strengthen communities, and drive inclusive economic prosperity.
AI for Life brings different fields together to advance AI technologies and their applications. We are developing solutions to address major societal challenges: improving health and social care, closing educational gaps, and promoting economic growth.
Leading the way
We tackle real-world problems by putting people first. Whether it is cybersecurity threats, climate change, or poverty reduction, we start with understanding human needs. We are also looking ahead to emerging challenges like antimicrobial resistance and future pandemics. Our technological innovations are not developed in isolation, and we embed them directly into practical solutions that make a tangible difference for individuals and those communities grappling with complex issues.
Our approach
Our AI research takes inspiration from global challenges and the diverse experiences of people in our communities. We understand that local, national, and global AI systems play an increasing role in shaping everyday life. We pioneer civic and policy approaches to develop ‘AI for Life’, grounded in citizen and community participation.
We collaborate across computer science, engineering, health, social sciences, and humanities, ensuring our AI innovations serve human needs. Prioritising explainability, transparency, and community involvement allows us to keep human values at the centre of technological advancement.
