Notice Title

OakSplash AI Tool

Notice Description

The Futures team of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is responsible for providing strategic foresight in support of the departments strategy and policy development. We use a range of futures methodologies to provide non-mainstream insight and generate novel forms of thinking and evidence. We have identified the strategic need to (1) explore innovations in AI as part of HMGs Artificial Intelligence Strategy and its application in environmental policy foresight generation and (2) provide new forms of evidence (e.g., narrative ) to strategic policy priorities (e.g., International Strategy, Land Use Change and Water) . We are therefore seeking an academic partnership to conduct collaborative prototyping and research on the use of Artificial Intelligence to identify and analyse various futural features , found within unstructured textual data. We are seeking to enter into an initial 9-month partnership with the possibility to extend to output evaluation
