Huge congratulations to my amazing PhD student, Niels D. Cariou Kotlarek, for leading this! In this work, we address a fundamental gap in generative TPPs: the lack of global sequence-level loss functions and mathematically justified distributional discrepancy measures. 2/

I am offering three PhD projects at @ai_ucl / @uclcs as a part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Cyber-Physical Risk. More information about the CDT here: ucl.ac.uk/engineering/securi…. The projects are the following: - “Attack and Defence of Cyber-physical Systems Relying on Multimodal Foundational Models”; - “Hybrid Risks in Agentic AI Ecosystems”; - “Securing Cyber-physical Systems Against Cyber-attacks: A Hybrid Network Modelling Approach”. You can find more information about the projects at this link: ucl.ac.uk/engineering/securi…. Happy to arrange an informal chat if you are interested in applying.

During the past year, our lab (in particular, @Gionceschelli and myself) have been involved in the @OECD Working Group on AI and the Future of Skills. The current goal of the Working Group is to devise a series of metrics to quantify AI capabilities on a scale from 1 to 5 (similar to the “autonomy” scale used for assessing the capabilities of self-driving cars) in order to derive a global standard for governments, businesses, and other organisations. In essence, the question is how to assess the extent to which an AI system can perform a given task with a level of proficiency comparable to that of humans. We focused on defining AI creative capabilities - not only in the artistic sense but, perhaps more importantly, in terms of problem-solving and original thinking. This work is based on @Gionceschelli 's PhD thesis and current projects. The OECD AI Capability Indicators Technical Report has now been published and is available here: oecd.org/en/publications/oec… The overall website about the OECD AI Capability Indicators project and policy work can be found here: aicapabilityindicators.oecd.…
