Be part of an exciting milestone as we unveil five groundbreaking projects designed to address emerging challenges in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI.

An agile, responsive and creative programme of research, RAi UK’s Co-ordinating Keystone complements and enhances the wider portfolio of RAi UK funded research. Led by our talented Early Career Researchers, these projects are co-created with stakeholders and refined through an iterative development process to ensure maximum impact and relevance.

Formed using the EPSRC Sandpit mechanism, each project is a multidisciplinary, cross-institutional collaboration that will tackle emerging concerns linked to generative and other forms of AI currently being built and deployed across society. Emerging projects build on RAi UK priorities and capitalise on our core research strengths including Human-machine teaming, Science and Technology Studies, Digital Humanities, RRI, Human Robot Interaction, Multiagent Systems, Robotics, Policy, Health, Law & Governance, and Adoption of AI.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get involved in these projects during their set-up stage and to hear early insights and identify synergies.

Project teams will be interested in:

· Potential industry/policy partners
· Collaboration with existing RAi UK and CeRAI project teams, and activity across the Responsible AI community
· Collaboration with researchers and academic leaders from RAi UK and beyond

Responsible Ai International Sandpit

In India, at our first International Sandpit, two ambitious and exciting projects were formed in response to the question: In what ways can diverse demographics in India and the UK drive responsible AI innovations in the technological and social domains?

· A Techno-Regulatory AI Sandbox (TRAIS): from hypothetical regulations to practice, and back
· Off-grid AI Deployments: Re-gearing AI Model Development Through Community Co-Design

RAi UK Integrator Sandpit

At the UK Integrator Sandpit, we asked: How can we bring delight, flourishing and fulfilment to individuals, communities, organisations and societies through the responsible design, deployment, and use of AI?

· Embodied AI in Social Spaces: Responsible and Adaptive Robots in Complex Settings
