About the Erlangen AI Hub

The Erlangen AI Hub exists to revolutionise the application of modern mathematics to understand AI, unifying and expanding the field to unlock new, more intelligent systems. The EPSRC-funded research programme, partnered by industry, brings together leading minds from across the UK’s mathematical, algorithmic and computational communities. We employ foundational tools to break new ground in AI, and redefine its future use to benefit science, industry, the economy and society.

The Erlangen AI Hub is funded by EPSRC grant EP/Y028872/1, Mathematical Foundations of Intelligence: An “Erlangen Programme” for AI.
