What is Beautiful Places AI?
Beautiful Places AI is a non-profit Community Interest Company that aims to improve our lives through beauty. Our objective: to integrate the beauty of the world into our daily lives – because beauty is a human necessity, not a luxury.
Harnessing Technology and Community for a Global Atlas of Beauty
We are harnessing the dual powers of artificial intelligence and community-shared insights to create a high-resolution atlas of the world’s beautiful places, starting with the UK. Contribute your insights by rating images from around the UK, where your ratings will help to shape this visionary atlas of beauty.
This endeavour is more than a mere collection of beautiful places – our ultimate goal is to reveal the intrinsic value, and characteristics, of beautiful places – so that the world can access them more easily, and manage them better by creating and preserving them where needed.
Data as a Catalyst for Transformation
Our collected data can inform urban development and policy, guiding efforts to preserve and enhance our public spaces. Citizens can thus discover and appreciate beauty more readily; governments can more effectively manage natural and built assets; businesses can tailor services to enhance experiences within these spaces; and researchers can access invaluable data, furthering our understanding of beauty's influence on individual wellbeing, economic vitality, and societal health. We believe that our data is more than informational – it’s a transformative tool capable of unlocking opportunities to boost individual wellbeing, strengthen community bonds, and fuel economic prosperity.
Conducting research
We will use this data for research projects to understand the impact of beautiful places on human and economic wellbeing. Armed with quantitative evidence, public good organisations and local communities can make more informed decisions about the creation and conservation of beauty in their neighbourhoods.

Supporting like-minded organisations with our beautiful places data
We will support like-minded organisations and institutions by providing them easy access to data and insights about beautiful places. By doing so, we hope to exponentially amplify the positive impact this information can have on human wellbeing.
We aim to provide this beautiful places of data free of charge to any social good organisation that:
conducts research connected to beautiful places for social good purposes
intends to use beautiful places data for a product that benefits wellbeing
creates products that help people discover more beautiful places
actively works to help preserve beautiful environments for future generations
Beauty as a Universal Right
We are steadfast in our belief that beauty in our surroundings should be a universal right, not a privilege for the few. Beauty transcends mere aesthetics – it revitalises our spirit, fortifies our sense of community, and enhances the spaces where we live and interact. As the pace of everyday life accelerates, these encounters with beauty act as essential interludes, infusing our routine with moments of serenity and joy.
