New Human-AI Research Teams could be future of research, meeting future societal challenges
The University of Manchester is developing unique research teams to help cure humanity’s increasingly complex future health and societal problems by partnering researchers with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Today, Professor Sami Kaski from The University of Manchester has been appointed among the first Turing Artificial Intelligence (AI) World-Leading Research Fellow. The fellowships, named after AI pioneer Alan Turing, are part of the UK’s commitment to further strengthen its position as a global leader in the field.
Through his fellowship, Professor Kaski aims to overcome a fundamental limitation of current AI systems, that they require a detailed specification of the goal before they can help. Machine learning, where solutions to problems are automatically learnt from data, is a form of AI with great promise for addressing a number of challenges. This includes healthcare,
