Alessandro Abate is Professor of Verification and Control in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, where he is also Deputy Head of Department. Earlier, he did research at Stanford University and at SRI International, and was an Assistant Professor at the Delft Center for Systems and Control, TU Delft. He received an MS/PhD from the University of Padova and UC Berkeley.  His research interests lie on the formal verification and control of stochastic hybrid systems, and in their applications in cyber-physical systems, particularly involving safety criticality and energy. He blends in techniques from machine learning and AI, such as Bayesian inference, reinforcement learning, and game theory. 

Carolyn is a Turing Research Fellow in Safe and Ethical AI at the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national centre for data science and AI. Her work is motivated by the question: How do we ensure AI and other digital technologies are researched, developed and used responsibly? Her research into algorithmic fairness seeks to understand the fairness implications of data-driven systems from both theoretical, practical and domain specific lenses. As well as mitigating the impacts from deployed systems, her work in responsible research seeks to understand the role of the machine learning (ML) research community in navigating the broader impacts of ML research. Carolyn also works to convene technical, policy, and domain experts, and sits on a range of advisory boards and working groups, including with the FBI, CSIS, ICO, PAI, OEDC and the Turing Research Ethics process.

Alexandra is Professor in Digital Manufacturing and is leading the Supply Chain Artificial Intelligence Lab. She is a fellow of Darwin College.
 Having trained as a manufacturing systems engineer and then embarking on a research career in Artificial Intelligence, she is fascinated by the merger of the two. Her research interests include:
-Predictive Data Analytics, especially for predicting and handling uncertainty in supply chains and other emergent manufacturing systems.
-Development of automated and scalable optimisation and distributed decision making  technologies for Supply Chain Management and Logistics, particularly with nature-inspired algorithms and Multi-agent Systems.
-Identification of emergent patterns in industrial systems, particularly in relation to robustness, resilience and quality outcomes
 

Lucas is a research scientist and lead of PAIR (People and AI Research). He works on visualisation, explainability and control of machine learning systems, and specifically language models. His work explores how people can productively and fairly benefit from machine learning systems. Previously, he was Chief Scientist at Jigsaw where he founded engineering and research. He has worked on range of topics including security, formal logics, machine learning, and data visualization. For example he worked on, uProxy & Outline, Project Shield, DigitalAttackMap; Syria Defection Tracker, unfiltered.news, Conversation AI and the Perspective API. Before Google, Lucas completed his PhD and worked at the University of Edinburgh on the automation of mathematical reasoning and graphical languages mostly applied to quantum information. He also helped run a non-profit working towards more rational and informed discussion and decision making, and was a co-founder of TheoryMine - a playful take on automating mathematical discovery.

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Cambridge and a member of Cambridge's Computational and Biological Learning lab (CBL) and Machine Learning Group (MLG). My research group focuses on Deep Learning, AI Alignment, and AI safety. I’m broadly interested in work (including in areas outside of Machine Learning, e.g. AI governance) that could reduce the risk of human extinction (“x-risk”) resulting from out-of-control AI systems. Particular interests include:

• Reward modeling and reward gaming
• Aligning foundation models
• Understanding learning and generalization in deep learning and foundation models, especially via “empirical theory” approaches
• Preventing the development and deployment of socially harmful AI systems
• Elaborating and evaluating speculative concerns about more advanced future AI systems

I am a social scientist whose work addresses social and ethical challenges associated with new science and technology and the relationship between science and the public, primarily in the domains of genomics and the development of data-driven medicine. I am based in the Kavli Centre for Ethics, Science, and the Public in the Faculty of Education and in the Engagement and Society Group at Wellcome Connecting Science, which is located alongside the Sanger Institute outside Cambridge. In Cambridge, I also co-lead the 'Ethics, Law and Society' strand of Cambridge Public Health.

Sebastian Pattinson is a University Lecturer in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge developing 3D printed medical devices and learning 3D printing systems. Before joining the Department, Sebastian was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT where he developed 1) new additively manufactured devices whose structure and composition are designed to improve interaction with the human body 2) scalable and sustainable methods for 3D printing cellulose, the world's most abundant organic polymer. He received Ph.D. and Masters degrees in the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge, where he developed synthesis methods to control the structure and function of nanomaterials. His awards include a UK Academy of Medical Sciences Springboard award; US National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship; UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Doctoral Training Grant; MIT Translational Fellowship; and a (Google) X Moonshot Fellowship.
