Foundational Artificial Intelligence MPhil/PhD

Our Foundational AI CDT addresses the need for AI workers by training researchers capable of advancing core AI algorithms. Our graduates will help shape the social, scientific and economic landscape through scientific breakthroughs and the creation of companies on the basis of novel AI technology. Current AI machines are largely "dumb" they don't understand their physical environment, nor have enough understanding of human culture to communicate in natural ways. Our vision is that AI is in its infancy and that AI breakthroughs are key to controlling and shaping the future technological landscape. However, creating effective AI is challenging given our limited understanding of how intelligence works.
