Note: While the source URL matches and is about the Safeguarded AI programme, the provided excerpt does not contain the specific claim of '48 funded projects across 6 technical areas.' The text discusses the programme structure, pivots in strategy, and technical areas, but the actual number of funded projects is not stated in this excerpt. The claim references '6 technical areas' but the source only mentions 3 technical areas (TA1, TA2, TA3). Without the actual data point in the source text, this cannot be confirmed or contradicted—it is unverifiable based on the provided excerpt.

Note: While the source is from the official ARIA Safeguarded AI programme page and discusses the programme structure, the provided excerpt does not contain the specific data point about 48 funded projects. The text appears to be cut off at 'TA3 Real-World Applications A saf' and the 'Structure + funded projects' section is mentioned but not detailed in the excerpt provided. Without access to the complete page content, the claim cannot be verified from this source material.
