Session leader is Professor Jean-Christophe Nebel, School Director(R&E) of the school of computing Science and mathematics.

Although the usage of AI has been steadily increasing across sectors and industries, many promises of the AI revolution are yet to be delivered. Through multidisciplinary collaborations, a critical mass of researchers at Kingston University have been contributing to better AI and its applications.

This symposium highlights how the topic of AI is pervasive across academic research domains at Kingston University and showcases some of its best projects.
