TechEthics Ltd, an innovative technology firm based in Northern Ireland, has announced an exciting new partnership with Ulster University aimed at pioneering the future of ethical technology and democratic resilience. This collaboration seeks to combine rigorous academic research with cutting-edge technological solutions to address critical societal challenges, including misinformation, polarisation, and peacebuilding in post-conflict contexts.

TechEthics, founded by an experienced team of experts, including Sophia Devlin (CEO), Tony Robinson (CTO), Dr. Alan Largey (COO), and Professor Brandon Hamber (CIO), is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between academic insight and practical technological solutions. The team’s collective expertise spans peacebuilding, AI innovation, pedagogy, and ethics—drawing from deep experiences at institutions such as the International Conflict Research Institute (INCORE) and Cooperation Ireland.

The partnership will leverage Ulster University's academic infrastructure to validate and scale TechEthics' innovative technology solutions. This collaboration includes developing sophisticated tools like custom Large Language Models (LLMs) for deliberative dialogue, Digital Twins to simulate policy outcomes, and cutting-edge AI tools for misinformation detection and intervention.

The synergy between TechEthics and Ulster University is set to uniquely position both parties at the forefront of ethical innovation. TechEthics’ dual expertise, combining rigorous academic research and practical technological agility, positions the partnership as a leader in ethical technology, capable of impactful deployments across global contexts.

The university's investment will not only support immediate research and development but also establish lasting industry benchmarks in ethical AI. Additionally, this partnership promises substantial economic and societal benefits through job creation, new industry partnerships, and the development of a global standard in ethical technology applications.

With a shared commitment to ethical innovation, democratic resilience, and peacebuilding, TechEthics and Ulster University aim to set a new standard for responsible technology deployment, significantly impacting both local communities in Northern Ireland and global societies at large.
