5 Research

Research is published in academic articles, in either research journals or conference proceedings.

In the areas of robotics and AI systems, the two main bodies are the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Notable journals and conferences include the ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology, the IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence, and the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence. All of these publish world-leading research developments.

If you are looking for a quick summary of how the field is changing, then the IEEE publishes an excellent magazine, Spectrum, where the online version allows you to narrow your interests to Artificial Intelligence and you can subscribe to receive updates.

Google Scholar provides access to journal articles and conference proceedings. In the areas of law and technology, British and Irish Law and Technology Association (BILETA) promotes research into technology law and policy for organisations, governments, professionals, students and the public. You can download publications from their website.

RAi UK (Responsible AI) brings together researchers from across the four nations of the UK to understand how to shape the development of AI to benefit people, communities and society. You can sign up for their newsletter, search their research publications and keep up to date with their different projects.

AdSolve is a UKRI project which addresses socio-technical limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the context of medical and legal use cases. Their project will create an evaluation benchmark for assessing the limitations of LLMs to support and assess systems and this includes in a legal context. The outputs of their research will be of relevance to organisations who are deploying LLM tools within their work.
