Safe and Trusted AI - KDR Recruitment

The last two decades have seen dramatic advances in automation, from affordable smartphones that can understand your voice commands, to self-driving cars with safety records comparable to human drivers, and computers that can diagnose disease as well as experienced doctors. These advances have been driven not just by falling costs of computing power, but huge leaps forward in machine learning – techniques which automate the discovery of patterns and associations in data. The most powerful of these require minimal human expertise to guide that learning. In many cases, this means computers can discover the underlying rules and patterns in data by themselves. Whilst the terminology has exciting connotations in science fiction, artificial intelligence, or AI, is the use of these techniques to perform tasks that we previously thought could only be done by a human – driving a car, playing chess, or recommending medication, for example.
