MPhil in Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence
CHIA's new MPhil course welcomes applications!
About the MPhil
CHIA’s new MPhil in Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence is designed to equip the next generation of AI researchers, technologists, and leaders with the skills needed to develop human-centred, human-compatible, responsible and socially beneficial AI technologies.
The course teaches students technical, cross-disciplinary and research skills in AI, and provides them with the opportunity to carry out focused research under supervision by domain experts at the University. Students will be educated in an interdisciplinary environment where they can get access to the technical, human, ethical and industrial aspects of AI. They will acquire specialist knowledge and transferable skills that will put them in an ideal position to pursue AI-related careers in academia, industry, policy and civil society. For those intending to go on to doctoral studies, the course will provide the skills needed to prepare a well-planned PhD proposal.
The Course
The MPhil is a 9-month programme of full-time study combining taught modules and supervised research. If taken on a part-time basis, the course will be a 21-month programme.
The taught elements include a core module “Introduction to Human-Inspired AI” and four elective modules. The elective modules are chosen from a selection of options covering both
– technical and computational skills, and
– specialist knowledge and training in areas such as fundamental human-level AI, social and interactive AI, cognitive AI, creative AI, health and global AI, and responsible AI.
For their supervised research, students work individually with domain experts to produce a Dissertation of up to 15,000 words.
