About me

I'm Professor of Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Informatics at King's College London, a Turing Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute, and Director of the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences Graduate School at King's.

I'm interested in how we can develop AI that promotes and upholds the social values that we care about. I'm Director of the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted Artificial Intelligence (known as the STAI CDT), which brings together world-leading experts from King's College London and Imperial College London to support over 80 PhD students working in areas related to the responsible development of safe and trustworthy AI.

I’m also Director of the newly awarded King’s Prize Doctoral Programme in Safe, Trusted and Responsible Artificial Intelligence (STaR-AI), which aims to expand the focus of the STAI CDT. We will train a new generation of AI professionals who (1) understand the technical challenges of developing safe, trustworthy, and responsible AI, (2) appreciate the human dimensions and societal implications of AI, and (3) are able to work across disciplines to ensure AI impacts are positive.

My research includes computational models of argument dialogue and how these can be applied to support collaboratively reasoning and decision-making, where this may involve human or artificially intelligent agents, or both. More recently, I've been looking at what it means for AI systems to behave fairly and how we can intervene to encourage this, and I'm Co-Investigator of the Participatory Harm Auditing Workbenches and Methodologies (PHAWM) project, a £3.5M keystone project funded by Responsible AI UK.
