About Us


The UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted Artificial
Intelligence <https://safeandtrustedai.org/> brings together world leading
experts from King’s College London and Imperial College London to train a
new generation of researchers.

An AI system is considered to be safe when we can provide some assurance
about the correctness of its behaviour, and trustworthy if we have
well-placed confidence in its decision making.



What we offer


We offer a unique four-year PhD programme, focussed on the use of symbolic
AI techniques for safe and trusted AI, providing an explicit language for
representing, analysing and reasoning about systems and their behaviours.
Explicit models can be verified and solutions based on them can be
guaranteed as safe and correct; and they can provide human-understandable
explanations and support user collaboration and interaction.

You will engage in various training activities alongside your individual
PhD project, both in state-of-the-art AI techniques and in ethical,
societal, and legal implications of AI in research and industrial
settings.  You will graduate as a specialist in safe and trusted AI, able
to consider the implications of AI systems, to recognise this as a key part
of the AI development process and equipped to meet the needs of industry,
academia, and the public sector.



Funding


We will fund approximately 12 students to join in October 2022.
Studentships are 4-year awards, including tuition fees, a tax-free stipend
set at the UKRI rate plus London-weighting, and a generous allowance for
consumables and travel.
