COLLABORATORS
King’s Forensics® is an academic grouping within the Department of Analytical, Environmental & Forensic Sciences (AEFS), with unique resource with specialist services and research from three laboratories accredited to UKAS Quality Standard (ISO/IEC 17025) - DNA@King's, Drug Control Centre and City of London Police Fingerprint laboratories.
Inside Justice is a registered charity and our casework team is run on a lean overhead which harnesses the power of an army of expert volunteers. They receive applications predominantly from prisoners or from their family and friends. They are also alerted to cases by lawyers who believe an innocent person may have been jailed but who can do no more due to Legal Aid funding cuts.
King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence Launched in 2022, the immediate aims in the King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence are to create a coherent and visible presence for AI at King's, to support networking and collaboration across the King's AI community, and to provide a point of coordination within King's, and for external partnerships and collaborations.
