Oxford Immune Algorithmics Signs Agreement with the Alan Turing Institute
Oxford Immune Algorithmics (OIA) has signed an agreement with The Alan Turing Institute (ATI) to advise the ATI on the adoption of AI across all sectors at the national level. In the agreement, our founder, Dr. Hector Zenil, is appointed ISA Innovate UK BridgeAI Scientific Advisor to the ATI.
After the UK's last year’s leadership initiatives in AI led by the ATI as the UK national AI and data institute, OIA and Dr. Zenil will be advising on the adoption and application of responsible AI across all fields (particularly the weakest ones) to help build the UK's next-level AI capabilities.
The Innovate UK BridgeAI is a major initiative at The Alan Turing Institute, funded by Innovate UK, aimed at accelerating the national adoption of AI in sectors within the UK. The programme builds and exploits an innovation network addressing systemic barriers that currently limit AI adoption.
Working alongside Innovate UK and other delivery partners including Digital Catapult, The Knowledge Transfer Network, The Hartree Centre, and the British Standards Institution (BSI), the signing of this agreement validates Dr. Zenil as an international expert and leader in the AI field and its future.
Dr. Zenil was previously a Senior Researcher at the ATI in 2021-2022 funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, appointed to lead a report on AI for Scientific Discovery and advise the UK government, the U.S. Navy, and the OECD - OCDE on AI adoption in science, leading to several policy advising contributions published by the OECD.
The Alan Turing Institute (ATI) is the United Kingdom's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence, founded in 2015 and named after Alan Turing, the British mathematician and founder of the field of computer science.
Oxford Immune Algorithmics (OIA) is a University of Oxford deep-tech start-up that applies Artificial General Intelligence (causal predictive & generative AI) to deliver decentralised mission-driven solutions to everyone today.
Dr. Hector Zenil, OIA's founder, contributed writing key computational linguistics code to Wolfram|Alpha when it was a 5-person project powering systems like Siri and Alexa to answer contextual factual questions and now also behind OpenAI’s first officially released plugin for #ChatGPT to deal with unwanted hallucinations. He has been associated with the UK Golden Triangle Universities as a Senior researcher and Faculty member for the last 10 years. At the University of Oxford, to the Structural Biology Group in the Computer Science Department, and at the University of Cambridge, at the Machine Learning Group, Center for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. He has published over 130 peer-reviewed papers in some of the highest-impact journals from the Royal Society, to Nature, and others.
