Safe AI and autonomous systems research
The Centre for Assuring Autonomy is at the forefront of pioneering research and innovation in the field of safe AI and AI-enabled autonomous systems.
We are wholly focused on assuring the safety of AI-enabled autonomous systems. Our work is an continuation of a long heritage of research and innovation in safety-critical systems at the University of York, which works to advance novel assurance methods, policy and practice, and collaborate in diverse domains.
Our research approach
Our research takes a whole-systems perspective and is deliberately sector- agnostic, providing conceptually sound and empirically evaluated safety assurance frameworks. With that in mind, our research is split into three distinct areas: research priorities, frameworks, and projects.

Research Priorities
Our research priorities are focused on three main themes
- Lifelong safety assurance of AI-enabled autonomous systems
- Human-centric design and assurance
- Informed governance
Research Frameworks
One of the defining features of our research is how we have used what we've learnt to develop frameworks which support real-world decision making. You can view our existing frameworks below:
Research Projects
We are advocates of collaborative and cross-disciplinary research projects. We work with researchers and academics across such disciplines as law, ethics, and philosophy to produce well-rounded, validated research.
We can work with you on research projects ranging from:
- Directly funded research
- Collaborative research partnerships
- PhD Studentships
