Training, developing talent and upskilling
Within our University, PAI is a transformative force. We prepare graduates for a world increasingly shaped by AI. Our expertise works alongside diverse fields like ethics, psychology, and social sciences. We involve industry and end-users to co-design programmes and address real-world challenges. This holistic approach equips graduates with technical prowess, as well as critical thinking and ethical grounding to navigate AI in a people-centred way.
AI training at Surrey
AI-based machines and systems are performing tasks across an ever-increasing variety of fields, often faster and at a fraction of the cost of their human competition. Far from being limited to manual labour, today’s machines are diagnosing disease, keeping us safe both online and in the physical world, practising law, and even creating art. Intelligent automation is the future – the economics are too compelling for any other outcome – and the role of research is to capitalise on the myriad opportunities AI offers, to predict and solve challenges along the way, and to ensure future AI systems are fair and explainable.
The University of Surrey leads on both the fundamental artificial intelligence theory – pioneering new machine learning algorithms and the understanding of black box AI systems – and the application of AI for the benefit of society through healthcare, security, education and entertainment.
