University spin-out Oxford Semantic Technologies acquired by Samsung Electronics

Oxford Semantic Technologies, established in 2017 by three Department of Computer Science professors — Ian Horrocks, Boris Motik and Bernardo Cuenca Grau, sees its RDFox technology incorporated into Samsung AI consumer devices.

Major research into ‘hallucinating’ generative models advances reliability of artificial intelligence

Researchers from the Department of Computer Science have made a significant advance towards ensuring that information produced by generative artificial intelligence (AI) is robust and reliable.

World leaders still need to wake up to AI risks, say leading experts ahead of AI Safety Summit

Leading AI scientists, including researchers from the University of Oxford, are calling for stronger action on AI risks from world leaders, warning that progress has been insufficient since the first AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park six months ago.

AI ethics are ignoring children, say Oxford researchers

Researchers from the Oxford Martin Programme on Ethical Web and Data Architectures (EWADA) and Department of Computer Science have called for a more considered approach when embedding ethical principles in the development and governance of AI for children.
