Dr Maria Aslam recently joined the CfAA as a Research Associate working on the assurance of complex AI-driven autonomous systems. Here she tells us more about her background and new role.

Today, generative AI (genAI) is everywhere. Text from ChatGPT floods LinkedIn, images from Nano Banana are all over presentations, and Github is full of new software written by Claude Code. Public discourse swings from championing the opportunities it may bring, to boycott campaigns and a focus on the resource exploitation involved. However, in the safety-critical space with which the CfAA is concerned, the risks of genAI are particularly acute. Senior Lecturer, Dr Rob Alexander shares his views on these risks in the face of growing division.

The CfAA has created new international opportunities to support the adoption of autonomous systems in the maritime sector following a trio of high-profile events in Singapore.

Named as one of the "100 Brilliant and Inspiring Women in 6G” in 2025 and 2026, Dr Swarna Chetty talks to us about her research work at intersection of telecoms, applied AI, and AI safety within the CfAA and her more 'experimental' research hobbies away from work

Assistive care robots offer a promising solution to ageing populations, but for robots to truly help they must be safe in how they adapt and adjust their plans in real time. Research Associate, Dr Ioannis Stefanakos shares how our work is making that a reality.

Dr Gricel Vazquez discusses her latest paper and why LLMs need to explain why they're doing what they're doing in order to build trust.
