UK Artificial Intelligence activity map (via Passle)

As a UK-focused venture capital investor, Oxford Capital is fortunate that the UK is a world leader in AI (although to avoid topical accusations of British exceptionalism, it's definitely worth mentioning that there are centres of excellence in AI and machine learning (ML) throughout Europe). We have just completed an as-yet undisclosed investment in the AI space, and we're evaluating several other opportunities. Along with taking an interest in AI companies that approach us for funding, we've mapped out recent activity in the sector across the UK. Innovation starts with talented individuals, and AI is no exception. Many of the UK's most respected universities have AI research groups, such as the Intelligent Systems group within UCL and the joint Oxford-Cambridge Strategic AI Research Centre.
