Additional Resources

Since 2023, the UK Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence has been at the forefront of AI, making investments in people and technology to empower others to explore AI and create meaningful solutions. Today, the Center is a specialized community who empowers faculty, staff, researchers, and clinicians to use AI to advance research, improve health outcomes, enhance student experiences, and drive productivity. Our team includes early and late-career software developers, project managers, data scientists, and advisors who guide our collaborators to overcome common AI barriers, such as technical expertise and access to secure compute resources. Without requiring a technical background or costly investments, we help our collaborators quickly turn ideas into prototypes and prototypes into solutions that make an impact for the communities they serve. Since our inception, we’ve supported more than 100 projects, have a network of 43 partners and over 120 individual collaborators. Please fill out our Collaboration Intake Form to connect.
