The University of Edinburgh is the birthplace of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Europe. AI has been part of our history for more than six decades and continues to influence and drive our extraordinary work today and into the future. We believe AI has the ability to unlock economic growth, create previously unimagined jobs and industries, offer solutions to over-stretched public services, and make the lives better for everyone in the UK – and beyond. We believe this because at Edinburgh we are already doing it.
