UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe Artificial Intelligence Systems (SAINTS)
The SAINTS CDT is the UK’s first multidisciplinary PhD programme focused solely on the safety of artificial intelligence (AI).
Our vision is to train future leaders with the research expertise and skills to ensure that the benefits of AI systems are realised without introducing harm as the systems and their environments evolve.
Research will be focused on the lifelong safety assurance of increasingly autonomous AI systems in dynamic and uncertain contexts. It will build on methodologies and concepts in disciplines spanning AI, safety science, engineering, philosophy, law, sociology and health sciences.

"One question of particular significance is how to ensure that AI is both safe and beneficial. Our new centre for doctoral training will give PhD students - the future generation of AI professionals - the opportunity to explore this very question, which will help ensure that we have a responsible approach to AI technologies as we go forward.”
Professor Ibrahim Habli, Director of SAINTS CDT
