The personification of AI systems has ironically led people to accept more errors from them, even though the original goal was to produce systems that function better than humans. Would society really have accepted an ATM that got it right most of the time?

Our Jonathan Warrell was one of the lead authors on “Spatial Signatures for Predicting Immunotherapy Outcomes Using Multi-Omics in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer”, a multi-institutional study on spatial signatures that predict immunotherapy outcomes in Nature Genetics. This study

Researchers show how malicious pixels can inject code or subvert agent workflows—expanding the threat model from prompts to pixels. For our computer vision and multimodal safety research, this spotlights robust perception, sandboxed tool use, and adversarial training against

Born in 1815, #AdaLovelace was a mathematician and produced what is widely considered the world’s first #computerprogram. In 1843, she wrote the first algorithm for Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine — envisioning machines that could one day compose music and understand
