LR teams up with The Alan Turing Institute

First movers in digitalisation will be able do so with certainty of performance expectations and the associated benefits of a simpler and quicker compliance procedure that the collaboration between LR and The Alan Turing Institute will bring, says LR.

The Alan Turing Institute is the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence. The Institute is named in honour of Alan Turing, whose pioneering work in theoretical and applied mathematics, engineering and computing is considered to have laid the foundations for modern-day data science and artificial intelligence.

Lloyd’s Register Foundation has been in a strategic partnership with The Alan Turing Institute since 2016, collaborating to establish the Institute’s Data Centric Engineering Programme.

Joseph Morelos, Maritime AI Applications Innovation Leader, LR, said: “LR has always aimed to streamline our assurance processes to help make our clients more competitive in their business. Our collaboration with The Alan Turing Institute will help to deliver unprecedented operational gains for our clients, whilst making securing remote and/or data-based information easier. We are proud to pool our resources with our partners as we drive forward digitalisation in the maritime industry.”

Professor Mark Girolami, Chief Scientist at The Alan Turing Institute, said: “We’re delighted to announce this collaboration today with Lloyd’s Register. The successful deployment of data science and artificial intelligence research results to the maritime industry will help make digitalisation happen much more quickly and we look forward to working together to accelerate progress in this field.”
