About us
The Centre for AI, Culture and Society (CAICS) develops ethical and trustworthy intelligent software solutions for business, organisations and society. We test, validate and verify AI systems to ensure that they are fit for purpose and we help organisations use and interpret their data wisely and ethically.
Our work involves championing diversity, inclusion and sustainability through good AI practices. In our experience, simple improvements in data analysis can lead to substantial profit increments. We have a large team of subject specialists who understand your sector and can provide expert advice on how to gain maximum value from your data.
We analyse data sets and systems for bias, interpretability, brittleness and robustness. We carry out risk analysis and classification to understand which restrictions and controls should be applied. We develop bespoke AI solutions for organisations.
