Project Overview
Artificial Intelligence plays a significant role in modern society and business, and this is only set to grow. The technology features in the electronic games we play, the cars we drive and the chatbots we engage with. The UK recently hosted leaders around the world for a Global AI Safety Summit, highlighting the importance of understanding and controlling how AI operates and is deployed.
The UK has one of the strongest AI markets globally with continuing government support and a thriving academic and innovative technology industry. To successfully bring AI-based systems to the general public and ensure adoption and sufficient trust, there is a need for AI assurance.
We are seeking applications from motivated individuals with the potential to contribute to this important scientific effort. The AI Assurance EngD will provide the successful applicant with key skills to unlocking this potential.
This EngD studentship aims to train the first generation of technical leaders that will specialise in the area of AI assurance. This will be delivered through Frazer-Nash, Digital Systems Assurance group in partnership with the University of Warwick's WMG centre. The expected duration of this program and funding is available for 4 years
The EngD student will be office based in Bristol (hybrid), in a team of professional engineers and scientists and other recent graduates working on industry interesting and diverse AI and autonomy projects.

- Develop a framework for risk assessment for AI-based systems
- Develop and test methods for runtime monitoring of AI systems
