Research and knowledge hub
Responsible AI for the Built Environment
The RAI4BE Digital Hub at the University of Westminster focuses on developing the frameworks, evidence, and capabilities the built environment needs to adopt artificial intelligence responsibly. Its work spans risk, competence, governance, training, and research.
Five pillars.
The Hub identifies the risks AI poses, defines the capabilities to manage them, supports the governance to hold them to account, builds those capabilities through training, and advances the evidence base through research.
-
Risk Management
Understanding, anticipating, and mitigating the risks that AI systems pose across the built environment, spanning technical, organisational, societal, and lifecycle dimensions, from design and construction through to operation and decommissioning.
Explore -
Competence
The human capabilities required for responsible AI adoption in the built environment, including how knowledge, skills, and behaviours are defined, developed, assessed, and recognised across professions, roles, and career stages.
Explore -
Governance
The structures through which AI in the built environment is directed and held accountable, including regulation, standards, professional body guidance, organisational policy, procurement requirements, and assurance mechanisms.
