Welcome to the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI (PAI)
We are delighted to introduce the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI – a new approach that puts people at the heart of AI, augmenting human capabilities to deliver an inclusive and responsible force for good.
A Royal reception for the announcement of our ground breaking pan-University Institute was hosted by the Chancellor of the University of Surrey, His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, by kind permission of Her Majesty The Queen. The drinks reception for distinguished friends of the University took place at St James’s Palace on Tuesday 2 November 2021.
The Institute works in partnership with industry, the public sector, government and national AI organisations to deliver a step-change in AI research, training and innovation to deliver the knowledge and skills required to ensure UK leadership of an inclusive and responsible AI-driven economy.
Join us in this new chapter for Artificial Intelligence - putting people at the heart of AI.

National importance
In contrast to other national AI initiatives, the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI brings together practitioner domain knowledge with AI expertise. Our Institute timely addresses the national importance of AI for the benefit of society and the economy as recognised in the government's new AI strategy ‘new ten-year plan to make the UK a global AI superpower’ launched in September 2021.
Our vision also addresses the government’s industrial strategy ‘AI and the Data Economy’ for critical sectors of the UK economy such as creative industries, health care and security.
