Showcasing our research at The Alan Turing Institute’s AIUK conference

University of Exeter experts were showcasing their pioneering AI and Data Science research, designed to help tackle some of the most pressing global challenges, at a prominent national event.

Researchers from Exeter’s Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence have taken part in The Alan Turing Institute’s AIUK conference 2024 – held on March 19th and 20th 2024.

The Exeter team has a strong presence at the event, showcasing a range of interdisciplinary research using data science and AI including focussing on applications for environment and sustainability, defence, AI safety and leading a discussion on skills and expertise development for data science and AI.

Exeter was represented at a number of main stands at the conference.

Danny Williamson, Amy Binner and colleagues within the EPSRC funded ADDTREES project at the University showcased their approach to using data science and AI for informing policy aimed at achieving net zero through decisions around planting new woodlands and forests.

Professor Aline Villavicencio, Director of the Institute for Data Science and AI at the University of Exeter said: “We are delighted that the University is showcasing many interdisciplinary data science and AI research projects from across a range of departments from the University, and to be sharing ideas and best practice through discussions with the wider national community at AIUK.”

The University of Exeter Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (IDSAI) provides a hub for data-intensive science and artificial intelligence activity within the University and the wider region.
