<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Safe and Trusted Artificial Intelligence (STAI) brings together world leading experts from King’s College London and Imperial
College London to train a new generation of researchers in safe and trusted artificial intelligence (AI). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The CDT will fund at least 12 students each year for the next 4 years. Applications are open now to start in September 2020. The deadline for the current round of applications
is 8 November 2019, with further rounds planned for entry in September 2020. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The Safe and Trusted AI CDT offers a unique four-year PhD programme, focussed on the use of model-based AI techniques for ensuring the safety and trustworthiness of AI
systems. King’s College London and Imperial College London are renowned for their expertise in model-based AI and host some of the world’s leaders in the area.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Various training activities, alongside individual PhD projects, will train students in state-of-the-art AI techniques and give them the opportunity to acquire a deep
understanding of ethical, societal, and legal implications of AI in a research and industrial setting. Through engagement with the CDT’s diverse range of private and public sector partners, students will be exposed to the different experiences, challenges,
and technical problems involved in both start-ups and large corporations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The CDT leadership team is committed to providing an inclusive environment in which diverse students can thrive. Diversity is crucial for enabling world leading research,
impact and teaching, and an inclusive environment is vital to allow people to contribute their best. Applications from individuals with non-standard backgrounds (e.g. those from industry or returning from a career break) are encouraged, as are applications
from women, disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, who are currently under-represented in the sector. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
