Trustworthy AI
Trustworthy AI Theme Leads: Professor Ed Keedwell, Dr Zhivko Zhelev and Dr Ke Li
The future success of artificial intelligence will depend on the construction of systems that people can work with and trust. It will also require an ongoing public discussion around the social engagement required to enable and encourage the development and widespread use of such systems. The Trustworthy AI theme of the Institute for Data Science and AI is focused on facilitating research and discussion around the barriers to, and the practical and ethical implications of the implementation of trustworthy and human-centred AI systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Explainable AI
- AI Accountability
- AI Safety
- AI Vulnerability
- Fairness, transparent and ethical AI
- Robustness and verification of AI systems
- Adversarial Attacks and Defence in AI models
- Human-AI interaction
- Interactive AI systems
- Regulation, standards and organisational readiness for implementation of AI
- Case studies of Trustworthy AI
- Future of work.

The European Centre for Environment and Human Health conducts world-class research into the complex links between the environment and human health. Part of the University of Exeter Medical School and supported by funding from the European Union, we are analysing both the risks and benefits the environment poses to health, and ensuring our findings have relevance to the UK’s business community.
The Centre is Directed by Professor Lora Fleming
The Centre for Biomedical Modelling and Analysis (CBMA) is based in the £52million LSI Building and is funded by the Wellcome Trust's ISSF scheme in 2015. Following the initial grant in 2015, our research is funded by a further Wellcome ISSF award lasting until 2021, which set up our newer focus TREE, with an emphasis on translation and impact. Funding is provided for a number of Research Fellows and secondment opportunities, as well as grants to support interdisciplinary projects within the University, and with external organisations and institutions. The Centre focuses on continued engagement with the public as well as other partners such as clinicians, charities and industry.
CBMA supports and develops interdisciplinary research from across the three STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine) colleges at the University of Exeter. It aims to understand the fundamental physiological processes that facilitate health and the perturbations that can lead to disease. This knowledge is applied in innovative ways to improve treatment and quality of life. To do this the Centre bridges traditional divides between disciplines, and provides the funding and networks to initiate collaborative projects.
The Centre is directed by Professor John Terry.
The Wellcome Wolfson Medical Research Centre and the EPSRC Centre for Biomedical Modelling and Analysis are foci of translational data intensive research.
