Research & responsible AI

Careful technology for healthier, fairer and more practical food support.

We explore digital tools and AI where they can remove barriers, improve access and support evidence-led delivery.

Our approach

Useful innovation needs trust, governance and real-world testing.

Responsible AI principles

Digital tools should be explainable, inclusive, proportionate and designed around public benefit.

Evidence-led delivery

We want programmes to learn from data, lived experience and partner evaluation.

Digital inclusion

Technology should reduce barriers for people, not assume confidence, access or trust.

Research partnerships

The CIC is open to academic, civic and public health research collaborations.

Partnerships welcome

Develop responsible technology with us.

We welcome conversations with universities, public health teams, civic technology groups and funders.
