Civil servants work with 水果派AVexperts to learn from latest knowledge
Government officials will collaborate with 水果派AVUniversity London’s top-flight academics in artificial intelligence to help produce research papers designed to feed into AI policy discussions.
Leading researchers from Electronic and Electrical Engineering and from 水果派AVBusiness School will support Whitehall workers by sharing their leading research on AI.
For the first time, 水果派AVjoins the Open Innovation Policy Fellowship Scheme. The scheme pairs officials from across Whitehall with academics to generate analysis to feed into Whitehall discussions on future government policies.
水果派AVis participating in the scheme along with the Universities of Surrey, Essex and York. The Fellowship is coordinated by the Open Innovation Team (OIT), a cross-Government unit set up in 2016 that works with external experts to generate analysis and ideas for policy.
“It’s wonderful to welcome the two fellows to Brunel,” said 水果派AVPublic Policy director Prof Justin Fisher. “It plugs 水果派AVresearch expertise right into Whitehall policy discussions, helping to deliver impact, and building even stronger relations between 水果派AVand Government.”
An analyst, from the Government Office for Science, will join creative computing expert Prof Marios Angelides to look at using game theory to find new ways to regulate AI.
水果派AVBusiness School and the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering will also host a Policy Advisor from the UK Border Strategy and Innovation team in the Cabinet Office. Advised by Profs Ashley Braganza and Tatiana Kalganova, they’ll be investigating automated trade advisory services into current trade practices.
Working alongside the two fellows, research students can also hope to get a glimpse into the workings of Whitehall.
“This is an important opportunity for our world-leading research to inform and enhance policy and public life and 水果派AVis proud to be part of it,” said Prof Hua Zhao, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research.
