AI Innovation Award - we’re shortlisted

Last updated: 12 August 2025

We are delighted to share that Literal Labs has been selected as one of five finalists for the AI Innovation Award at the National AI Awards 2025. Chosen from among hundreds of nominations, this recognition highlights our work advancing Logic-Based Networks (LBNs) — a novel AI architecture that delivers high-accuracy modelling with transparent rules, frugal compute, and effortless deployment from servers to embedded devices.

The National AI Awards exists to spotlight remarkable advances and contributions in artificial intelligence, celebrating excellence, innovation, and the visionary work shaping the future of AI. The AI Innovation Award recognises bold, transformative technologies that demonstrate creativity, impact, and the potential to reshape industries, solve complex challenges, and drive positive societal change.

Our LBNs replace opaque, GPU-hungry pipelines with explainable logic, rapid training, and energy-efficient inference. From decision intelligence to edge deployments, we help organisations move from experimentation to production with clear rules, measurable outcomes, and a neat connexion between model behaviour and business reality.

Winners will be announced on 16 October 2025 at the National AI Awards ceremony, taking place at BT’s Adastral Park, Ipswich. We extend our thanks to the Judges and the Awards team for this honour, and to our customers and partners for their steadfast support.
