We are proud to share that AiR Hub has been announced as one of the inaugural recipients of funding from the newly launched ICE Research Institute, an initiative by Clarion Gaming to accelerate independent, impactful research in the global gambling sector.
Our project—“Advancing AI Ethics and Governance in the Gambling Sector: A Research Translation Pilot”—will be delivered in collaboration with a PhD Candidate from tbe Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid and represents a critical next step in bridging academic research with real-world regulatory and industry practices.
This pilot initiative is designed to translate our existing academic work on AI ethics into practical tools for gambling regulators and operators. As AI systems are increasingly embedded into products and operations—from player protection systems to customer support and marketing—the need for transparent, accountable, and ethically grounded frameworks is urgent.
This project embodies AiR Hub’s mission: to enable responsible innovation and ensure that advances in artificial intelligence are accompanied by thoughtful governance.
We are grateful to Clarion for recognizing the importance of this work and for supporting initiatives that align academic insight with industry transformation.
