@TPEassist I have an off peak ticket from Manchester airport tomorrow. What is the earliest train I can travel on please?

Passionate about #AISafety? We need YOU! Join our thriving multidisciplinary CDT & pioneer the future of #SafeAI! Collaborate with our partners to build new methods for assuring #AISafety. Your #PhD will shape evidence-based practices for #ResponsibleAI york.ac.uk/research/centr…

Applications are now open for the first cohort of PhD students in the only multidisciplinary centre for doctoral training focused solely on the safety of #AI. Funded by @UKRI_News, based @UniOfYork Find out more and apply: lnkd.in/e9KnbAdX #SafeAI

During Hackathon a team from @UniofOxford, @UniOfYork visited @BoulbyLab - the deepest scientific unit in the UK. We gathered data for future work and had a lot of fun working in unique conditions of Potash mine 🔩⛏️⚙️

UAV Hackathon 2023 Safety assurance for drone autonomy - finals happened last week! Congrats to all of the @UoY_CS -@AAIP_York and @oxfordrobots teams - you produced amazing work! Big thank you to @AAIP_York and @UoYISA for all the help with organizing! ori.ox.ac.uk/projects/uav-h…

We are proud and excited to announce that we've been awarded funding from @UKRI_News to train the next generation of AI experts at a new Doctoral Training Centre in Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to all our partners! Read the full release: york.ac.uk/news-and-event… #SafeAI

Our thoughts on Rishi Sunak's speech on AI. It's important to note that the UK already has organisations solely dedicated to Safe AI - the UK's first was the @UoYISA - we must build on existing work, not begin again from scratch.

Delighted our paper's published in the Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems. link.springer.com/content/pdf/10… It describes how we applied AMLAS to create a safety case for ML that detects wildfires. Great collaboration with @craftprospect on an @AAIP_York demonstrator project.

Well that's a wrap on day one of out UAV Hackathon. Looking forward to some creative and safe solutions. @UoYISA @oxfordrobots @AAIP_York

The Assurance of Machine Learning for use in Autonomous Systems (AMLAS) framework has recently been applied independently from the AAIP by Markus Borg (@mrksbrg) et al., (2023) - this is a brilliant demonstration of AMLAS in use for safety cases! bit.ly/3ZAWRsX #ML

Confusing headline. Not self-driving vehicles, but remotely-driven vehicles. Not vehicles from overseas but vehicles being controlled by driver who is overseas. Headline should really be "Vehicles to be banned from being remotely driven from overseas" theguardian.com/technology/202…

The Lego Challenge team have started exploring how the different models work. The next challenge is to program the robot to operate them.#LordDDT #LordDComp

All set for another @UoY_CS quiz with the tech master @_iangray. It's going to be huge! #csxmasquiz

Heading back for week two of FIRST LEGO League, @FLLUK , this afternoon with @VJHodge @rdhawkins and @Picardi_Chiara. It's great to work with our fantastic group of young engineers at @lordderamores. Thanks to @AAIP_York, @UoY_CS.

Very pleased to have been invited to give a keynote presentation at ICOSEIT 2022 icoseit.org I will be talking about assurance case for autonomous systems based on work done in @AAIP_York

@anamacintosh @UoY_CS @_iangray Just for you I am prepared to reveal that there will be a music round. So you have 90 minutes to listen to and memorise every song ever written. Hope that helps!

Following a hot tip, am brushing up on Greek literature ahead of this evening’s @UoY_CS quiz with @rdhawkins & @_iangray in quizmaster mode. Hopeful there might be an ‘obscure ingredient from the Far East’ round, or a ‘cheese or motorway services’ round…

This made me laugh on R4 just now: when people were asked what is England’s 2nd city, in Manchester they said “Manchester”, in Birmingham they said “Birmingham” and in Liverpool they said “London”

Join the #AssuringAutonomy team! This is a proleptic lectureship so you'll join us as a Research Fellow and in January 2024 take up a lectureship @UoY_CS. The research will draw together machine learning & safety analysis methods. Find out more and apply: york.ac.uk/assuring-auton…

An interview with @rdhawkins about our assurance of machine learning for use in autonomous systems (AMLAS) methodology and its new home on our guidance website: assuringautonomy.com

Lots of interest in our guidance website and methodology for the assurance of #machinelearning in #autonomous systems (AMLAS). Have a read of the @TheEngineerUK article: theengineer.co.uk/amlas-safety-c… #assuringautonomy
