Emerging areas
Defined by our second cohort of Programme Directors, following a collaborative and intensive discovery process these areas will be developed into opportunity spaces
Extending Our Perception
Programme Director: Claire Donoghue
Our AI models excel where they mimic human senses and cognition. What if we break free of that limitation? AI that transcends human sensory perception could unlock discoveries beyond our reach and new capabilities like detecting diseases before symptoms or advancing sustainable food production.
-
Can we sense and predict things previously impossible for humans by creating AI systems capable of fusing diverse sensory data to yield insights from cutting edge sensors or capabilities inspired by other species?
-
What if we could transform sensory perception for health; predict chronic conditions early, enabling tailored interventions for more healthy, productive years of life whilst reducing pressure on the NHS?
-
What valuable new sensors, data sets, and capabilities are waiting to be uncovered at the interface of AI, engineering, application domains (medicine, robotics, agriculture), business model innovations and design thinking?
