Projects
The Open University and Clearview Intelligence KTP 25_26 R2
Clearview Intelligence Ltd (CI) needs this Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) to leverage The Open University's Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) to address strategic challenges. CI aims to enhance its digital presence and improve customer engagement by integrating AI into its existing data, models, and programmes. This collaboration will enable CI to explore new technological advancements and testing methodologies that are not achievable through off-the-shelf solutions, direct recruitment, or consultancy. The new knowledge required by CI includes advanced AI techniques, data analysis, and visualisation capabilities. KMi's research in these areas will provide CI with the necessary insights to develop innovative solutions tailored to their market specific needs. The KTP will embed new capabilities within CI, such as the ability to utilise AI for better decision-making and workflows and to create a more efficient and effective analytical tool for their clients. This project aligns with the goals of the KTP programme by fostering collaboration between academia and industry, promoting the practical application of AI research, and supporting the development of cutting-edge technologies. The KTP structure and funding are essential for providing a dedicated resource from inception to commercialisation, ensuring the successful implementation of these innovative solutions.
