Summer School 2025

This year’s Safe and Trusted AI Summer School is co-organised by the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted AI (STAI CDT) and the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Machine Intelligence for Nano-Electronic Devices and Systems (MINDS CDT).

The Safe and Trusted AI Summer School will be held at Imperial College London on 14 to 16 July, in person.

Speakers

We have an exciting line up of speakers, from both academia and industry. Confirmed speakers include:

Prof Kate Devlin, Professor of AI & Society, King’s College London

Professor Devlin’s research investigates how – and why – people interact with and react to technologies, both past and future. She is the author of the critically acclaimed book “Turned On: Science, Sex and Robots” (Bloomsbury, 2018), which examines the ethical and social implications of technology and intimacy. She is Chair-Director of the Digital Futures Institute at King’s, and is King’s investigator on the UKRI’s £31 million Responsible AI UK programme, which brings together researchers from across the UK to understand how to shape the development of AI to benefit people, communities and society.

Prof David Parker, Professor of Computer Science, University of Oxford

Professor Parker’s research is in formal verification: rigorous techniques for checking that systems function correctly. In particular, he works on quantitative verification methods for checking properties such as safety, reliability, robustness and performance. Professor Parker leads the development of PRISM, the most widely-used software tool for verification of probabilistic systems.

Dr Chenxi Whitehouse, Research Scientist, Meta

Dr Whitehouse’s research focuses on Natural Language Understanding and Generation, Multilinguality, Knowledge Distillation, and Reasoning. Prior to joining Meta, she was an applied research scientist at Amazon AGI in Cambridge, where she focused on advancing Alexa with LLMs. 

Dr Edgar Lopez-Rojas, Founder and CEO of RevAIsor

Dr Lopez-Rojas is the CEO and Founder of RevAIsor, a London-based company that aims to empower positive change with trustworthy and ethical AI. He is also the visionary Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of FinCrime Dynamics, a company specialising in Simulation for Financial Crime Analytics using Synthetic Data. He is passionate about harnessing the potential of cutting-edge technologies and innovative approaches to address the risks and challenges posed by AI biases, ethical concerns, and regulatory complexities.

Dr Stuart E. Middleton, Associate Professor, University of Southampton

Dr Middleton’s research interests are focused on the natural language processing areas of information extraction and human-in-the-loop NLP. In a juxtaposition to NLP areas where web-scale datasets are available, his research focuses on developing novel solutions to problems where training datasets are small, evolving, sparse or fragmented in nature. This can involve both finding new ways to fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) and researching novel methods to get the most out of smaller models.
