About LBS AI Lab

A hands-on AI lab for the LBS community

LBS AI Lab helps participants get involved in AI solution development at the School, from identifying opportunities to prototyping and deploying useful products for the LBS community

Why the Lab exists

Why the Lab exists

AI is changing how organisations identify problems, build solutions, and create value. LBS AI Lab was created to give the student community a direct way to explore that shift through hands-on product development

The Lab connects participants with LBS workflows, stakeholders, and mentors so they can develop AI solutions that respond to needs across the School

For participants

For participants

The Lab gives participants practical experience with AI-based application development, from ideation to prototyping and deployment. Along the way, they learn how to define problems, speak with users, manage stakeholders, evaluate outputs, and iterate toward products that can be adopted

It is also a way for participants to contribute directly to the School and develop the technical and product fluency needed for their future careers
