What are these awards all about?
Artificial intelligence is growing at a rapid rate. From basic data entry to high-value IT estate protection, AI is no longer the new kid on the block – it lives at the heart of the business. Beyond that, though, AI has the potential to entirely change the world we live in, and it’s doing so right now. From healthcare and the environment to traffic management and your Netflix recommendations - the robots are already here, and they’re helping you to buy stuff on Amazon. Computing’s AI & Machine Learning Awards recognise the best companies, individuals, and projects in the AI space today. The process covers every corner of the industry: security, ethics, data analysis, innovation and more, as well as showcasing the movers and shakers: the technology heroes and projects that deserve industry-wide praise. #AIMLAwards

Faculty is one of Europe’s leading applied artificial intelligence companies. We build, deploy and operate AI solutions - including our industry-leading decision intelligence software, Frontier - to increase our customers’ performance and help them realise their full potential. We believe that AI should be safe, ethical and beneficial across society. Those principles have shaped our work with more than 250 organisations across the public and private sectors as we help them use AI to understand more deeply, make better decisions and act faster. In 2020, Faculty built the COVID-19 Early Warning System in partnership with the NHS, a first-of-its-kind AI tool that forecasted COVID-19 hospital admissions and required bed capacity three weeks in advance. Daily predictions became available on a national, regional, and hospital level meaning NHS staff could predict and plan for the potential impact of the virus on demand for frontline services. The award-winning tool underpinned the NHS’ COVID-19 response and was key to driving increased efficiencies, lower costs, and supporting life-saving decisions in real-time. Recently, Faculty created a new A&E admissions forecasting tool which is being deployed across over 100 NHS trusts. The new tool aids the better allocation of staff and increased bed capacity based on accurate predictions from external data sources, such as COVID-19 rates and public holidays. Much like our Early Warning System, the tool improves planning and saves lives by cutting waiting lists and bolstering staff efficiency. Faculty has also recently launched Frontier, its groundbreaking decision intelligence technology that helps organisations leverage AI to make better decisions. The software revolutionises business processes and performance by aligning entire organisations from top to bottom and across the different functions. Faculty Frontier is the culmination of years of research and development in the Faculty Research Lab, and hundreds of bespoke builds for customers.

“This is an incredible technology: a compelling and innovative example of how technology can work to combat climate change. We will be watching GreenInsight with interest.”
CO2A Global – GreenInsight
AI is still in its infancy, and many companies claim to be doing AI when all they really have is a fancy algorithm. A truly intelligent system is one that can learn on its own, growing more adapt over time and making a practical difference to peoples' lives.
Nsugbe Research Labs - Preterm prediction using AL Papercup - AI-powered video localisation Lloyds Banking Group - RBB Lab Payments Team Luminance
Mobile devices and apps play a major role in modern business, especially in 2020. Whether is hardware or software, the winning product should showcase an innovative use of technology to deliver provable business benefits.
“We are particularly impressed with the ambition and scope of this use of AI. All four components of Papercup's platform (transcription, translation, voiceover and video-editing) have their own unique challenges. Developing the capability to bring them together seamlessly, using an array of techniques from the field of AI, is genuinely remarkable. Add to that the fact that the use cases are very wide - from education to entertainment - and the commercial opportunity is also significant. “Of particular note are the use of human-in-the-loop techniques to review and moderate the outputs, and the emphasis on ethics - making sure, wherever possible, to reduce bias and harm."
Papercup - AI-powered video localisation
AI’s use in healthcare promises faster diagnosis, higher success rates and lower costs. Recent years have seen successful early trials, and the space is set for high growth. This award is for evidence of a compelling use of AI in a healthcare setting, with provable results.
