Advancing AI Research for Real-World Impact
NEC Laboratories Europe drives foundational research in generative AI, machine learning, and natural language processing (NLP), translating scientific advances into business solutions that create real-world value.
With a strong focus on human needs, we develop transparent and human-aligned AI that people can understand, trust, and effectively work with. Our researchers also contribute to the scientific community through publications at leading venues including ACL, EMNLP and AAAI.
Our vision: Human-AI Collaboration You Can Trust
We envision a future where people and AI systems collaborate effectively, safely, and responsibly. Our research focuses on the foundations of trustworthy human-AI collaboration: making AI systems understandable, verifiable, controllable, and aligned with human goals, values, and organizational objectives.
By combining human judgment, creativity, and contextual understanding with AI capabilities for analysis, prediction, and automation, we aim to improve decision-making, increase productivity, and create meaningful impact.
This vision is reflected in NEC’s AI Harness, a framework that brings together transparency, verification, value alignment, and control to help people monitor, understand and guide increasingly complex AI behavior.
Featured Technology: LLM Explainer
The LLM Explainer helps users understand, verify, and improve AI-generated outputs. The technology detects unsupported claims, provides explanations, and enables users to correct hallucinations. By making the basis of generated information clearer, it increases transparency and trust and helps organizations deploy generative AI more safely and effectively.
Transforming Research into Business Impact
Beyond scientific excellence, we are committed to turning research into real-world applications. Working closely with NEC business divisions in Europe and Japan, we develop products and solutions that help organizations deploy AI responsibly, increase human productivity, and create new business opportunities. In doing so, we contribute to NEC's vision of empowering humanity through technology.
