UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Socially Intelligent Artificial Agents (Social AI CDT)

Description

The UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Socially Intelligent Artificial Agents is a doctoral training centre at the University of Glasgow, training researchers to build artificial agents able to interact with people socially. It was funded in 2018 as one of sixteen artificial intelligence centres for doctoral training supported by UKRI, and has trained forty-six doctoral students across five cohorts. Its supervision is drawn chiefly from computing science and from psychology and neuroscience, with a strand of sociolinguistic work supervised from the School of Critical Studies. It works with industrial partners across robotics, speech technology and telecommunications, and runs public events including a robotics hackathon.
