Beautiful Places AI

Beautiful Places AI is building the world's first comprehensive map of beautiful places. Submit your outdoor photos and our AI technology identifies and maps scenic locations for everyone to discover.

What We Do
We're a non-profit citizen science project co-founded by Dr. Chanuki Illushka Seresinhe (data science leader) and Dr. Stephen Law (UCL Associate Professor). Our mission: catalogue one million beautiful places worldwide by combining user-submitted photos with advanced AI analysis.

How It Works
- Contribute: Upload your outdoor photos from anywhere in the world. Whether it's stunning landscapes or hidden local gems, urban architecture or rural views, if you think it's beautiful, photograph it. You're creating the data that helps everyone discover beauty.
- Discover: Browse beautiful places that contributors have added from around the world. As more people participate, the map grows richer and more diverse.

Why This Matters
The data you create helps governments preserve natural assets, guides urban planners in designing more liveable cities, and gives communities evidence to protect the beautiful spaces that strengthen social bonds. It could inform everything from conservation priorities to urban regeneration projects, providing evidence where previously there were only assumptions. Beauty isn't defined by experts here; it's defined by everyone.

The Technology
Our AI learns what humans find beautiful. Trained on beauty ratings from over 20,000 individuals, it scores photos for scenic quality based on collective human opinion, verifies locations, and adds high-scoring places to the map. Combined with multimodal language models, this breakthrough makes mapping a million places possible for the first time.

Real Impact
As a Community Interest Company, all data created serves the public good. We're treating beauty data as critical infrastructure that's been missing from economic and environmental decisions.
