New Zealand is establishing a public research organisation with a strong focus on advanced technologies. In July 2025, we welcomed New Zealand’s Science Minister to our offices at UCL’s AI Centre as part of an information gathering visit to the UK.

Hub researchers are well represented at this year’s ICML Conference in Vancouver, the leading international conference on machine learning

The first Gen AI Hub workshop has taken place with a focus on using Generative AI in Biology.

The Gen AI Hub launch saw the unveiling of Nightingale AI, a pioneering initiative for a Large Health Model aimed at transforming the healthcare sector.

Online registration is now open for a hybrid workshop on 12 May looking at the development of generative models for large and high-resolution biological datasets.

Last week’s launch was an opportunity for students, researchers and entrepreneurs to present their ideas and research on Generative AI to a wider audience in a poster exhibition.
