PILOT PROGRAMME (2025/26)

This pilot CRAIL programme, delivered with the Digital × Data Research Centre, explores how generative AI works and how it can be used responsibly and creatively across text, image, audio and video. Designed for LSBU staff across disciplines, the programme is facilitated by creative technologists and promotes critical, hands-on engagement with emerging AI tools and systems.

Through practical workshops and guest talks, participants will build confidence, develop AI literacy, and reflect on ethical and environmental considerations. Semester-based pilots will inform long-term provision and institutional strategy for AI, creativity and education.
