Kindred Futures which is the department which deals with future innovations, initiated discussions between leading academics, technology pioneers, addiction psychologists and Kindred’s team of responsible gambling experts.

The aim is for this AI to be able to value modelling behaviours and changes in behaviour over time, to assess if a player is developing a problem. Will Mace, who is the Head of Kindred Futures, commented: «This was a fascinating discussion, bringing together experts from several different fields. The outcome was very encouraging – we agreed there was significant potential for an AI capability to bring together and analyse many data sources to give a much-improved ability to detect signs of a developing problem. We also agreed there was real value in doing this – both socially and commercially.».
