LR has announced a collaboration with The Alan Turing Institute, the national institute for data science and AI, to drive forward the maritime industry on its digitalisation journey. The cooperation will provide companies adopting digital technology with a fast and cost-effective independent assurance and testing service provider, using both The Alan Turing Institute and LR’s considerable resources and expertise.
Streamlining the testing process for digital/AI-enabled maritime technology will rapidly speed up digitalisation in the industry, incentivising safe practise and improving affordability by reducing competitive advantage risks. This lays the groundwork for delivering more assurance of AI technology services, allowing for the necessary learning to create the requirements and standards demanded by the industry.
First movers in digitalisation will be able do so with certainty of performance expectations and the associated benefits of a simpler and quicker compliance procedure that the collaboration between LR and The Alan Turing Institute will bring.
”Our collaboration with The Alan Turing Institute will help to deliver unprecedented operational gains for our clients, whilst making securing remote and/or data-based information easier.”commented Joseph Morelos, Maritime AI Applications Innovation Leader, Lloyd’s Register.
Professor Mark Girolami, Chief Scientist at The Alan Turing Institute, mentioned that the successful deployment of data science and artificial intelligence research results to the maritime industry will help make digitalisation happen much more quickly.
