Shape AI to work for everyone with our specialised degree. Create cutting-edge AI systems that are ethical, inclusive, and designed to augment and enhance human abilities. Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) is a forward-thinking approach that puts people first in the design and use of AI.
This course will equip you with the skills to design, implement, and evaluate AIs. You will ensure that AIs are responsible and aligned with human values - while still delivering strong predictive performance. You'll learn to design AI and data-driven systems that make better decisions without replacing human input, as well as valuing different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences to make AI work for everyone.
You’ll explore core areas of AI, including:
You'll gain the technical expertise to build intelligent systems. At the same time, you’ll deepen your understanding of human-computer interaction (HCI), user experience (UX), and data visualization.
You’ll benefit from the knowledge of our Industrial Advisory Board, which includes global leaders like:
They will provide valuable industry insights that keep the programme aligned with the latest technology trends and the skills that employers are looking for.
You’ll also get access to the School of Computing’s strong research links including:
