AI at SnT: shaping a responsible, applied future
Artificial Intelligence (AI), including generative AI, is reshaping industries worldwide, offering both opportunities and challenges. At SnT, we are dedicated to ensuring AI is developed and applied responsibly.
Our researchers strive to create AI systems that are transparent, fair, and accountable. They address critical issues like reducing bias, safeguarding data privacy, and making AI-driven decisions easier to understand. By blending fundamental research with real-world applications, we aim to deliver technology that serves society’s best interests.
What is AI ?
We’ve all heard the term artificial intelligence – or AI – but what does it actually mean? And how does it really work?
In this short guide, we walk you through the basics of AI, from its origins nearly 70 years ago to the powerful tools we use today. It looks at how machines learn, what makes AI ‘intelligent’, and why researchers are still working to make it more transparent and trustworthy. Whether it’s chatbots, self-driving cars or predictive algorithms, AI is already shaping the world around us – and it’s only just getting started.

AI Essentials: Frequently Asked Questions
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term encompassing various technologies that simulate tasks associated with human intelligence.
Gen AI is a type of AI that generates new content, such as text, images, audio and videos.
An artificial intelligence model designed to generate natural language using categorised textual data and neural network architectures. They produce sentences by predicting the most likely next word based on extensive pre-fed categorised textual data.
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, the chatbot is the interface allowing users to access the large language model. The latter is the engine powering the chatbot.
Networks of artificial neurons (mathematical functions) organised in layers. These neurons adapt their behaviour over time to enhance their performance. Different layers perform different functions.
Machine learning encompasses groups of algorithms that have been trained to recognise patterns, make decisions, and improve their performance over time.
Deepfakes are digitally manipulated images and videos, often created to spread false news or commit other fraudulent activities.
