The University of Aston opened the center of advanced experience to combine enterprises, academic circles and politicians to support the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), working with the French IT giant Kapgemini to establish The center of advanced experience for AI Enterprise In his campus in the London city.
Professor Alex Subik, Vice Chancellor and CEO of Aston University, said artificial intelligence transforms business and society at unprecedented speed: “It is very important for enterprises that they use the power of artificial intelligence and generative artificial intelligence [GenAI] remain competitive and stimulate the future growth. ”
He said that the university wants to build a joint ecosystem of AI with enterprises, researchers and politicians to create and deploy “responsible decisions of artificial intelligence, which benefit both enterprises and society Managers and raisingField
The report of the Capgemini research institute shows that there is a real commitment to investing in it, and 74% of business liders occupying AI and Genai, among three main investments in technology for 2025. However, the adoption of AI between organizations and the awareness of advantages is a problem, the university said.
According to Stephen Webb, British Director for Technology and Innovation in Capgemini: “The UK has one of the strongest economies, but we need to work together to develop talents, develop skills necessary for the development of future growth, and create favorable conditions for innovators and enterprises. Joint cooperation between the Academy, the private sector and the government will be the key to strengthen the UK as a global superpower. ”
Enterprises and regulators accept AI and create the rules around them, so they require new skills. For example, financial regulators Bank of England and FCA monitor how financial services in the UK use AI and machine training. A The results of the 2025 survey 120 companies covered 120 companies from the Bank of England, and it turned out that three quarters were already using some form of AI in their activities.
The survey found that some of the most common cases of early use for AI were low risk in terms of financial stability. For example, 41% use AI to optimize internal processes, while 26% use AI to increase customer support.
The Academy plays a key role in supporting the development of AI in order to ensure the largest of them, and its development is responsible. For example, in 2023, the University of Glasgow opened the center on supporting his research in the field of data and artificial intelligencewho collected hundreds of scientists with experience in various disciplines.
Data Science Center It will support the efforts of the university to solve problems – through the science of data and AI – such as climate change and inequality.
Six research programs: data and controlled AI achievements in the field of engineering and physical sciences; Medical, veterinary and life sciences; economic and social sciences; Art and humanities; innovation; and a program for supporting fundamental research in the field of data science and AI throughout the university.
