City's Artificial Intelligence Research Centre and Institute for Cyber Security to lead Doctoral Training Programs

Supported by the European digital innovation and entrepreneurial education organization EIT Digital, City, University of London's Artificial Intelligence Research Centre (CitAI) and Institute for Cyber Security (ICS) will lead two new Doctoral Training Programs (DTPs). Starting in the 2019-2020 academic year will be a DTP in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This will enable the commercial deployment of AI technology in Europe and other regions by developing critical interdisciplinary capabilities in AI technology, particularly, though not exclusively in machine (deep) learning and explainable AI, with applications for solving real-life industrial problems. Dr Eduardo Alonso, Director of City's Artificial Intelligence Research Centre (CitAI) and lead for City's Master's programme in AI, will oversee this DTP. This program will be carried out in partnership with founding partners Delta Capital Ltd, Telefónica Innovación Alpha SL and Bosch AA-AS.
