- THE ROLE -

The Artificial Intelligence Collaboration Centre (AICC) represents a £16.3 million investment by Invest Northern Ireland (INI) and the Department for the Economy (DfE) for a 5-year pilot project to increase business awareness and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in a way that boosts competitiveness and productivity and positions Northern Ireland as a leader on the national and global AI stage. The AICC is being led by Ulster University (UU) in partnership with Queen’s University Belfast (QUB).

The postholder will be part of an effective team and will be responsible for leading and guiding the AICC in the ethical development and use of AI.

Ultimately, the postholder will play a crucial role in navigating the ethical complexities of AI, ensuring transparency, fairness, privacy, and accountability in AI systems, and building business and public trust in AI technologies and the AICC.

The postholder will exemplify a strong partnership approach, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. They will be innovative, digitally savvy, highly organised, customer-centric and capable of developing and executing a plan with meticulous attention to detail.
