Research impact
Our research and impact strategy underpins the Centre's strategic goal of being committed to international and world-leading research and development of ethical and trustworthy intelligent software solutions for business, organisations and society.
We pursue and support ethical AI research of the highest quality that is, or has the potential to become, recognised as internationally excellent or world leading.
The Centre for AI, Culture and Society shows understanding of how different businesses and organisations can experience challenges when on-boarding AI. We offer consultancy with access to a broad base of talent, from specialists in cutting-edge technology to experts in social science and in the integration of technology into business processes.
We recognise that our staff are key to our success and we will continue to invest in research and to support and develop opportunities for research and knowledge exchange with industrial, commercial and public sector partnerships.

| MoFHS Software application developed by the Centre to assist companies in reducing the costs of integrating IT systems and facilitating digital transformation by taking the complexity out of these tasks and reducing risk. | Innovate UK | ||
| RESISTIRÉ (Responding to outbreaks through cocreative inclusive equality strategies) Oxford Brookes University is coordinating the delivery of the app and data visualisations. The project is being implemented from an equality perspective and will develop policies that understand and monitor social change. The consortium will be focusing on how the impact of Covid-19 risks widening inequalities, such as race, education level and gender. | Horizon 2020 | ||
| AIDA Incubator - Research Incubator The AIDA (Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis) Incubator at Oxford Brookes University is a world-class centre focused on helping companies in the professional service sector adopt advanced quantitative techniques including AI and data analysis. This work is funded by Research England. The ambition is to help these companies maximise their profitability, and improve their productivity through the use of technologies in areas such as law, HR, design and architecture, whilst minimising the potential for adverse impacts. | RED Fund |
