Dementia is stealing the lives of >55 million people worldwide, with huge societal cost (>$1 trillion p.a.). Despite >$56 billion R&D spend over 30 years, we lack sensitive diagnostics at early stages, when interventions may work best. We co-created—with healthcare partners, clinicians and the public—a responsible, multimodal AI tool (BrainHealthx, BHx) to improve early prediction and patient stratification to optimise interventions for each patient. This RAi Enterprise Fellowship aims to scale-up BHx into a trusted, fully deployable clinical decision support system to help identify who will benefit when from which intervention, ultimately driving precision interventions and new treatments.
Our vision is to make autonomous systems (AS) safe, accountable, and trustworthy. We believe that all AS should be equipped with data recorders (or black-boxes) – like mandatory flight-data recorders in aviation. With industry partners, we have developed and demonstrated such recorders as well as recording standards in a range of applications. The aim of the Enterprise Fellowship is to realise a new cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS), called PACER (ProActive Causal ExplaineR), which will leverage and analyse recorded event-data logs to anticipate safety issues, provide causal explanations, improve safety, and enhance the understanding and trust of developers, operators, and/or other stakeholders.
OPTIcut is an innovative computational intelligence system that revolutionises banana processing by optimising cutting strategies and reducing fruit waste. Collaborating with the University of Malaga, Jaen University, and De Montfort University, the project focuses on refining segmentation algorithms, automating fruit damage detection, and conducting real-world trials. Developed through extensive collaboration with key stakeholders, OPTIcut directly addresses inefficiencies inherent in traditional manual methods, resulting in waste reductions of 5-10% and substantial profitability gains. Independent field trials, originally supported by CORBANA, validate the technology’s capabilities while positioning OPTIcut as a pivotal tool in sustainable agriculture. A 1% reduction in waste at large plantations can generate approximately $1 million in additional revenue, underscoring the transformative potential of this technology. Funding supports GPU upgrades, field equipment, and travel to Costa Rica for stakeholder engagement. By embedding Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles, OPTIcut is poised to deliver impactful, scalable solutions for sustainable agriculture, fostering equitable growth and advancing the circular economy in banana-producing regions.
