Dr Adel Bibi, a Senior Researcher in Machine Learning and Computer Vision, has secured funding through two major international research programmes to advance the development of safe, trustworthy and resilient artificial intelligence systems.
The awards include the Horizon Europe project and a Competitive Research Grant (CRG) from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) as part of a bigger consortium of industry and academic partners across Europe. Together, the projects will support several researchers and strengthen Oxford's leadership in AI safety, machine learning and cyber resilience.
The project is a collaboration between Oxford and KAUST, led in partnership with Professor Bernard Ghanem at KAUST. As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, ensuring that they operate safely and reliably has become a critical challenge. T
The funding will support Dr Bibi's research programme and a postdoctoral researcher over the 36-month project.
In parallel, Dr Bibi has been awarded the Horizon Europe grant from Oxford as part of a consortium on the project GENESIS-AI (Self-Improving Generative Intelligence for Cybersecurity in Complex Infrastructures), a €582,000 award to Oxford led by Dr Adel Bibi. The three-year project brings together 18 partners from across Europe, including major industrial organisations such as Siemens, Airbus, Bosch and NXP Semiconductors.
