Areas of Thematic Research
AI Ethics By Design
Due to AI’s vast influence, getting AI ethics right is a moral and business imperative. AI ethics by design research will systematically focus on capturing and modelling biases and fairness in AI applications to achieve this goal.
Privacy-enhanced Analytics
Building AI trustworthiness is essential for broad AI implementation. The goals of privacy-enhanced analytics research include privacy-preserving and confidentiality-aware data collection, sharing and model building.
AI Accountability
AI applications development must take into consideration their global impact. AI accountability research uses computational models of compliance and fact-checking, verification and interpretability as essential measurement tools.
