First-Ever Turing Network Development Award for Research Into Artificial Intelligence

Researchers from the University of Nottingham have received the first-ever Turing Network Development Award to focus on making Artificial Intelligence accessible and building trust in its use. The University of Nottingham is one of 24 Universities to receive this new award and was chosen after demonstrating its proven research excellence and track record of translation in data science and AI. The work of the University will now be significantly enhanced through active involvement with the Institute's thriving network. Praminda Caleb-Solly, Professor of Embodied Intelligence will lead the project at the University of Nottingham, working with a coordination and advisory (CaG) group* of AI experts in different application domains from across the university. Praminda said: "There is a huge amount of knowledge and expertise in AI and data science at the University of Nottingham so it is really exciting to receive this award that will provide a unique framework to share and collaborate with other universities across the country. The focus of our network is Accessible [email protected] and our activities aim to build public trust through promoting transparency of AI decision-making. We have designed a series of activities for pro-active engagement and aim to empower people to be confident in accessing, understanding, and exploiting data."
