A new joint research lab, the Frontier AI Research Lab, has been established by Thomson Reuters and Imperial College London to specifically target the hurdles faced in deploying AI solutions within enterprise environments. The collaboration will focus on academic research to improve the trust, accuracy, and data provenance of AI systems, with a strong emphasis on safety, reliability, and cutting-edge capabilities. The lab seeks to connect advanced computer science research with the real-world demands of professional services.

Researchers will leverage Thomson Reuters’ substantial content resources to train large foundation models. Further research areas include agentic AI systems, reasoning, planning, and the integration of human oversight in AI workflows. The lab’s publications will serve as crucial benchmarks for business leaders looking to assess the safety and effectiveness of their AI deployments.
