A cross-sector coalition – with partners including Microsoft, BT, the National Cyber Security Centre and the University of Exeter – to pilot the use of artificial intelligence that monitors a waste catchment area in real time to minimise the risk of flooding and sewage pollution. With the water industry accounting for 35% of river pollution, the project has received around £2 million to develop new and integrated approaches for spill prevention.
Operational technology and middleware detailed design for the first trial is complete. This will screen, transfer, and implement the commands produced by the AI. We are now building underway with the pre-construction phase of the trial (H&S, Contracts, Test planning). AI models are complete they are now being productionised
