In his latest blog, Dr John Molloy, CfAA’s Business Development and Delivery Manager explores what the next phase of adoption may look like.

Dr Yan Jia is a lecturer in AI Safety and part of the CfAA research team. In our latest staff spotlight, she explains more about her work in safety assurance and she brings together her niche background in safety-critical healthcare applications to advance this important area of research.

Dr Nathan Hughes’ work into understanding how people make decisions with technology is crucial for building upon the research into human-centred autonomy undertaken at the CfAA. Learn why their investigations into how and why humans make decisions is so important in designing safe AI systems across distinct domains.

Have you ever paused to consider the sheer number of decisions made every time we get behind the wheel? What drives these decisions? How do we adapt to diverse conditions? In this blog PhD student, Hasan Bin Firoz, explores why decision making for autonomous driving remains an unsolved challenge.

Early career researcher Dr Ioannis Stefanakos works on developing techniques/methodologies enabling the safe and effective use of autonomous and self-adaptive systems that are deployed in a range of applied settings including hospital emergency departments and domestic environments. He shares some insightful tips for PhD students and why his work provides a deep sense of fulfilment.
