responsible AI

Responsible AI

Responsible AI is an integral part of our data science practices. Modern AI models are intrinsically complex, therefore significant efforts must be in place to ensure that AI-driven decisions are safe, fair, friendly and reasonable. We are also specifically interested in the roles and impact of AI on Net Zero.

AI Education

AI in Education

The focus of the research is two-fold. Our pedagogy work studies the best theories and practices for teaching AI and data science in universities, colleagues, and early education. We are also enthusiastic about using machine learning to enhance the teaching, learning and assessment of all subjects.
