What is AI?
A clear overview of core concepts, terminology and how AI systems are developed and used.
Learn more
AI describes computational methods used for tasks such as recognising patterns, learning from examples and supporting decisions. An AI system is defined as much by its purpose and data as by its algorithms.
Types of AI
From machine learning to generative AI — an introduction to the main approaches.
Learn more
Supervised learning uses labelled examples; unsupervised learning investigates patterns without predefined labels. Generative models produce new outputs based on relationships learned from training data.
Real-world applications
Examples of how AI is used in business, research and the public sector.
Learn more
Applications include document classification, anomaly detection and demand forecasting. Their reliability depends on relevant data, testing and careful interpretation in context.
Opportunities and challenges
Key benefits, limitations and important considerations when working with AI.
Learn more
AI can accelerate particular analytical tasks, but outputs may be wrong, misleading or unfair. Good practice includes evaluation, documentation and appropriate human oversight.
AI in practice
From ideas to
real-world impact.
Artificial intelligence is applied in fields ranging from data analysis and automation to content creation and decision support.
It can help detect unusual transactions, classify documents or forecast demand. Whether these approaches are useful depends on the training data, evaluation criteria and the people reviewing the results.

Important considerations
when working
with AI.
A balanced view of the opportunities, limitations and responsibilities that come with the use of artificial intelligence in real-world settings.
Learn about responsible AIMissing values, inconsistent definitions and unrepresentative datasets can affect model performance. Examine the source, suitability and limitations of data before applying a model.
AI systems can reproduce patterns and inequalities present in training data. Evaluation should consider who may be affected by mistakes and how performance varies across relevant groups.
Responsible applications require clear rules for access, retention, confidentiality and security. Sensitive information should not be shared without reviewing the applicable safeguards.
Human review remains important when interpreting outputs, checking assumptions and making decisions with significant consequences. Results should be assessed against the purpose of the task.
