The Accelerate Programme for Scientific Discovery and the Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery (C2D3) are proud to announce funding for 15 groundbreaking projects that will use artificial intelligence to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in science and society.

A new report involving hundreds of literary creatives from across the UK fiction publishing industry reveals fears over copyright violation, lost income, and the future of the art form, as generative AI tools and LLM-authored books flood the market.

Complex digital images of tissue samples that can take an experienced pathologist up to 20 minutes to annotate could be analysed in just one minute using a new AI tool developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
