Educating Engineers for Safe AI
29 June 2023
A workshop exploring the safe & trustworthy design and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in research.
The Alan Turing Institute, and Edinburgh, Newcastle, Cambridge and UCL Universities are organising a series of workshops to discuss Educating Engineers for Safe AI.
We are seeking participants in this workshop series who are:
AI Engineers, Data Scientists, Systems Engineers, ML-Ops, Research Software Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, AI UI/UX designers, and more, working in the implementation of AI systems OR
- Academics and other experts working in areas related to Safe, Ethical, Reliable and Trustworthy Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence OR
- Academics and other experts working in professional education, CPD, learning design, and related areas, interested in developing materials related to safe AI for professional audiences.
The workshops consist of two regional non-residential satellite workshops in Cambridge (4th July) and in Edinburgh (29th June), and a final residential workshop in Newcastle on 15–16th August.
The purpose of the workshop series is to develop a road map for the creation of a syllabus and set of professional education materials, targeted at software and systems engineers so they can be empowered to champion the creation of safe, ethical and trustworthy AI in their workplaces. Developers and engineers, appropriately empowered and skilled, are uniquely placed to ensure that the systems they build are done so according to emerging ethical best practices. These materials will become part of The Turing Way project.
This workshop is being organised by EPCC and the Bayes Centre at the University of Edinburgh.
