The project spans several subjects: type theory, automated and 
interactive theorem proving, security, AI and machine learning, 
autonomous systems, natural language processing and generation, legal 
aspects of AI. It will cover two main application areas: autonomous cars 
and chatbots, drawing from expertise and infrastructure provided by 
industrial partners working in these two areas. The project has a 
significant international span, with 12 partners from Academia and 
Industry in Europe (France, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway) 
and the US. Researchers joining this project will have excellent 
opportunities to travel to international conferences, organise 
scientific events, spend time with industrial partners, collaborate with 
academic leaders in the field, develop their own research profiles as 
well as gain experience in other AI and CS disciplines.
