Smart Living

The rapid development and proliferation of technologies, such as AI, opens up tremendous opportunities to life better lives but equally it poses great dangers. The Smart Living pillar considers the role of digital and technological developments and their potential to ensure that needs are met and responses to emergencies are more effective.

Specifically, it looks at how cutting-edge technologies such as AI can build more robust infrastructure, enhance domestic and public well-being and allow us to take more control over our lives.

The Inquiry showcases research that demonstrates the potential of new technologies to live cleaner, safer, healthier and more participatory lives. It encourages policymakers to ensure that technological developments are regulated to benefit all and help us all live well. 

Throughout the remainder of the year, this page will be populated with case studies from Â鶹ֱ²¥ University’s research communities, which advocate the Smart Living agenda.
