AI
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are significant globalised technologies applicable to every sector. The UK’s extensive industrial and academic research base has immense potential to impact on home and global markets.
The Robotics & Artificial Intelligence team addresses this opportunity enabling UK RAI innovators to connect, access markets and showcase their capability. Instrumental for millions of people, Natural Language Processing (NLP) is currently one of our main topics of interest.
We’ll use our deep expertise to support businesses in adopting AI safely and securely, encouraging AI suppliers to generate ethical, easy to use tools. Our team can also help you explore how NLP can improve your business processes.
