Applied AI Research & Solutions

We are an interdisciplinary research group that advances useful and responsible artificial intelligence by transferring state-of-the-art research into real-world societal and industrial value.

Our research

We tackle concrete challenges faced by industry partners, public institutions, and communities while contributing to the future of applied artificial intelligence through international research networks. 

Our researchers combine technical expertise in machine learning, large language models, explainable AI, human oversight, and edge AI systems with domain knowledge in finance, public administration, sustainability, philanthropy, and legal and regulatory technology. This diversity allows us to approach complex problems from multiple angles, integrating technical excellence with ethical, organisational, and societal perspectives. By prioritising explainability and trust, our work supports the safe adoption of AI in high-stakes environments.

We actively co-develop AI solutions with industry partners — testing and refining methods in real operational contexts, incorporating practitioner feedback, and ensuring lasting relevance.
