In today’s climate the need for safe, explainable, and responsible development in AI has never been so pressing. AI capability is rapidly increasing with instances of industry led development and a lack of accountability fueling concerns in this space. This research platform establishes capability in this space, contributing to the national picture and positioning the University well to respond, and feed into Government policy
This area is spearheaded by Professor David Leslie, Professor of Ethics, Technology and Society at Queen Mary University London, and Director of Ethics and Responsible at The Alan Turing Institute, and Professor Gina Neff, Professor of Responsible AI.
