Summary

The North Star Centre for Multi-modal AI (North Star AI) represents a shift in AI research towards integrity AI as a world-leading centre in the emerging field of multi-modal AI. Towards this end, we jointly leverage data from multiple sources and sensors over time and space for new innovations and value. We research responsible use of data, risks, responsibility and auditability hand in hand with development of circular and more sustainable AI being informed by numerical models and processes. We control generative simulations to not hallucinate and to generalize better. We integrate resilience, reasoning, and develop novel explainable methods for safe and trustworthy AI. North Star AI creates new solutions for marine and maritime applications, for nature use and conservation, and for the well-being of people, within the private and public sectors. The centre joins domains and complementary competences creating a major hub for frontier AI research, recruitment, education, and innovation.
