- Video transcript
Paula: AI is the tool that guides our world at the moment.
Jack: I hope to change the world using AI by introducing virtual technologies that can assist people in doing their everyday tasks.
Paula: My research is focusing on trying to define error in a way where it reduces human bias. So, one example of that would be MRI imaging, where we’re trying to make the details as understandable as possible.
Jack: I’m excited about people safe online by detecting hate speech, propaganda and misinformation using natural language processing techniques.
Joe: I’m looking into the application of AI in mental health care, and particularly around supporting clinicians to deliver treatment.
Maxine: At Sussex you’ll study AI from philosophical perspectives, cognitive science perspectives, neuroscience perspectives and, of course, computer science.
Joe: The latest developments in AI are included in the syllabus, so it’s been exactly what I had hoped to be able to maintain on the forefront of AI research.
Maxine: Sussex has an amazing history in AI. We’ve had Geoffrey Hinton here, Godfather of AI. We’ve had Margaret Bowden, who founded Cognitive Science. We’ve been interdisciplinary since the beginning.
Joe: We’re not just thinking about building the best model, but actually how is this going to have an impact on the people that are going to be using it. I’m going to change the world, just a little bit, in AI, here at Sussex.
