From responsible AI engineering to classroom-level intervention, NGAIRC projects translate research into practice across education, health, sustainability and digital safety.
A selection of work currently under way across NGAIRC's research and engagement programmes.
Free awareness seminars delivered to schools and colleges, equipping students to recognise, resist and report cyberbullying, including emerging AI-enabled harms such as deepfakes and sextortion. Each session pairs an awareness talk with digital safety guidance and an anonymous student survey.
View the Initiative →An AI-driven persuasive technology that uses ethically governed nudges to lift student engagement in fully online learning environments. The work combines learning analytics, behaviour change evaluation and a responsible AI framework covering privacy and consent.
Project Lead →Mentoring, training and research placements supporting women to enter, remain and lead in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, backed by a professional community and free participation for students and early-career researchers.
View the Initiative →Research into robust, explainable intrusion detection and anomaly analysis for connected infrastructure, with an emphasis on models that remain reliable and interpretable under real-world deployment conditions.
Related Research →Federated learning and differential privacy techniques that allow clinically useful models to be trained across institutions without centralising sensitive patient data, balancing analytical utility against privacy guarantees.
Related Research →Building trusted, openly documented datasets and evaluation infrastructure so that AI results published by the centre and its collaborators can be independently reproduced and fairly compared.
Related Research →We welcome proposals from academia, industry and government for joint research, student projects and dataset partnerships.
