Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the hottest conversation topics in recent years and one of the most disruptive emerging areas of academic study and research. AI delves into the dynamic field of creating intelligent machines that mimic human cognition, covering topics like machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing and ethical considerations in the field’s development.
AI is a highly technical subject, well suited to those with a background in computer science, engineering, or a related field. Most PhD programmes require a solid master’s degree as well as significant proficiency in programming languages like Python or Java. At PhD level, you’ll also need to develop a proposal for a piece of original research, which will form the foundation of your academic work, or join an existing research project. There are currently eight PhD courses in artificial intelligence in the UK, although this number is almost certainly due to increase in the coming years.
Expect a fascinating dive into the futuristic world of intelligent machines. The field is in its early stages of discovery and your research work will probably fall into one of the following areas; data management and data science, computer vision and multimedia computation, machine learning and data mining, optimisation and statistics, or human-centred AI.
A PhD represents the cutting edge of the field. Much of the most innovative research in AI is conducted in universities, with the products of this work finding application in a myriad of industries and organisations.
