What makes Oxford such a good place to work in AI?
Oxford has world-leading research across the whole range subject areas relevant to AI, from the computational, statistical and mathematical foundations of AI, to data-rich scientific and engineering disciplines, where there are huge opportunities for transformative applications of AI technologies. It also has many top researchers working on core advances in machine learning and AI technologies, spread across multiple departments.
