Responsible AI Consortium
A global network of forward-thinking, innovative institutions to drive AI integration into higher education
The Responsible AI Consortium offers universities and business schools worldwide a forum for integrating and advancing AI in higher education. The Consortium develops project-based learning opportunities, fosters collaboration in research, and provides a sandbox environment for piloting new AI-driven technologies.
RAIC is built on four main pillars:
- AI Capability Framework
- Working & Discovery Groups
- AI in Higher Education Insights & Sandbox
- Experiential Learning Projects
Shape the future AI leaders - through real work experience, global partnerships and meaningful impact
Experiential Learning Programme
The Responsible AI Consortium (RAIC) Experiential Learning Programme is a 6-week, team-based experience where
students collaborate with mentors and partners to build, promote and apply real-world AI solutions grounded in
ethics, inclusion, and responsibility.
Participants will:
- Work in virtual teams across multiple institutions, countries and sectors
- Address a real-world problem, submitted by companies, global organisations, policy makers and start-ups.
- Develop a ready to use solution for the Partner – can be a prototype of an AI agent, Go-to-Market strategy for an AI product, policy-making recommendations on AI-related matters, etc.
- Present outcomes to the Partner
