We can’t pretend our societies are always equitable, diverse or inclusive. In harnessing tools and systems, such as AI, robotics and social media, we can make them more so – and cannot afford to allow these solutions become part of the problem.
Our researchers are shaping the future of AI by designing ethical, inclusive systems grounded in carefully curated data and algorithms that reflect diverse experiences, perspectives, and voices, while also looking at how today’s societies, communities and institutions are designed, constructed and led, to widen opportunity, provide effective safeguarding and realise shared prosperity.
Here's what we're doing.
Care and equity. For people.
Rising living costs, challenges in end-of-life care and limited access to preventative solutions for preterm babies have widespread impacts on our health and wellbeing.
We’re tackling these challenges head-on by redefining the Real Living Wage, equipping healthcare professionals with tools for easier end-of-life conversations and creating dementia-friendly spaces to enhance patient care.
Our graduates are also applying our expertise to make a positive impact by saving lives with the mOm Incubator, a cost-effective solution for preterm babies worldwide.
Utilising AI. For our benefit.
Flooding. Injustice. Crime. Misinformation. There’s plenty for us to worry about. At Loughborough University, we're addressing the root causes of our shared concerns.
Innovations like Brain-on-a-Chip for neurological and neuromorphic research are changing how we understand our own brains while making AI systems more cost-effective for business operations.
Our researchers are deploying AI and machine learning to improve how people with learning disabilities engage with education, exploring how fully interactive hologram technology can be used in the classroom,and what future museums can look like.
They are even applying advanced technologies to revolutionise how our supermarket sandwiches are made, as well as pioneering emotionally intelligent robots that redefine what it means to care, transforming support for the most vulnerable and reshaping the future of human–robot interaction.
Join our mission at Loughborough University
Time is running out for our at-risk communities, so we're harnessing the technologies that will make them safer, more equitable and more inclusive.
Loughborough University researchers and innovators are challenging AI and machine learning to become more than tools of convenience – harnessing their potential as tools of empowerment.
Join us in our pursuit of a safer, kinder and more equitable world.
Because the world can't wait. Neither should you.
