Data Science and AI for Economic and Social Sciences

Enabling a more inclusive and productive digital economy and making positive societal impacts that improve everyone's quality of life are at the heart of the Centre for Data Science and AI.

This programme brings together world-leading expertise to provide data-driven solutions that help tackle real world societal and economic problems in a range of disciplines. Bridging across disciplines, our researchers aim to develop a deeper understanding of human-technology relationships, development of the ethical principles required for responsible adoption of AI in the financial system and enabling monitoring of the economy in real-time to help policymakers with the goal of national prosperity. We also look at the regulation of data and AI, copyright law, and the standards and ethics that underpins it, both in a general sense and as applied to specific applications such as Fintech and digital currency.

There is also strong expertise looking at the role of data science and AI in public health, inclusive learning, digital literacy and inequalities, climate modelling and resource management, and urban analytics (including transport, active travel, mobility data and urban/regional planning).
