<span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#212121">This Research Project is being delivered within the Department of Computer and Information Sciences within the research team of the PROBabLE Futures Keystone Project. The project involves working alongside our law
enforcement, third sector and commercial partners, to develop a framework to understand the implications of uncertainty and to build confidence in future Probabilistic AI in law enforcement, with the interests of justice and responsibility at its heart. The
project is a UKRI-funded Responsible AI UK Keystone project and includes academic Co-Is in a number of disciplines, law enforcement and commercial partners. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
