Special Interest Groups
Special Interest Groups
The AI Special Interest Groups (SIGs) support the development of responsible, innovative, and globally aligned AI in the UK.
They focus on best practices, trust, and governance (Best Practice SIG), securing funding and fostering partnerships (Funding SIG), navigating evolving regulations and standards (Policy SIG), and advancing emerging technologies like quantum AI and foundation models (Technologies SIG). Through collaboration across academia, industry, and government, these groups enable knowledge sharing, policy influence, funding access, and the translation of research into real-world AI applications. Together, they strengthen the UK’s position as a leader in secure, transparent, and impactful AI development.
Best Practice and Trustable AI Systems
The group helps members anticipate disruptive trends and identify strategic opportunities for innovation and investment
