Artificial Intelligence

King's College London, University of London

AI significantly affects people’s lives, and it is encountered in more and more of our daily activities. These include activities such as using smart devices, digital voice assistants, and travel aids, as well as banking online or receiving personalised recommendations about movies to rent. Meanwhile, AI is increasingly reliant on leveraging the widespread availability of datasets that encode relationships between data inputs to decision making processes, and the outcome of these processes. AI applications can enhance human decision making in a wide variety of everyday (e.g. recommender systems) and specialised tasks (e.g. deciding on legal litigation risks, decisions in business/logistics planning, or decisions based on interpretation of visual data such as diagnostic scans in medicine). AI also has applications that autonomously make and implement decisions (e.g. robots that need to sense their environment and plan actions). These applications require expertise in a broad range of Artificial Intelligence areas. Our Artificial Intelligence BSc will allow you to understand the underlying principles of these areas, including: Foundations of AI (e.g. programming, discrete mathematics, algorithm design); Data Science and Machine Learning (e.g. natural language processing, human-AI interaction); Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Interactions (e.g. data visualisation, knowledge engineering, formal verification).
