The AI Competency Centre is supporting projects across the University to enable deployment of commercial AI tools in a controlled and secure environment. We have a team of Research Software Engineers and expert Business Technologists to assist project teams with building and implementing AI.
We're available to collaborate with teams from across the University for a variety of use cases. Read on below to see examples of our work.
Exploring AI-Human Triangulation for Research Reproducibility
AI in Education
As generative AI becomes increasingly embedded in academic practice, it presents both new risks and new opportunities for research reproducibility. This project explores how AI-human collaboration can be utilised in teaching to promote reproducibility as a core research skill.
AIID (Artificial Intelligence for Interdisciplinary Discussion)
AI in Education
This project sought to develop and evaluate an AI system designed to support and enhance the most important feature of the collegiate University: interdisciplinary discussion.
AI for Learning: Helping Foundation Year Students in the Physical Sciences use ChatGPT Effectively
AI in Education
This project was devised to investigate the possibility of creating positive tools for active learning and revision which would aid students in improving their own academic skills, instead of using AI as a crutch.
AI-Driven Feedback Loops
AI in Education
In the hope of maximising the use of staff time, and facilitating the actioning of student input quickly and effectively, the AI Teaching and Learning Exploratory Fund enabled the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences to explore whether AI could streamline the student feedback process, reduce admin burden, and enhance teaching quality.
