PhD Position Value-Based Assessment Methods for AI Systems-
**Challenge**: Developing and operationalizing value-based assessment methods for AI systems.

**Change**: Driving validation of AI systems to ensure that only trustworthy models are used.

**Impact**: Enhancing police trustworthiness through AI alignment at the Dutch National Police.

Job description

AI alignment refers to the goal to make AI systems behave in line with human intentions and values. With the rapid proliferation of AI systems and their growing capability, there are equal risks from misalignment. Validating models is a crucial step before decisions can be made about implementation and is important for continuous monitoring of systems in use. The challenge is, however, that validation needs to happen along a range of different values that are important for AI to possess at the police: accuracy, but also fairness, reliability, trustworthiness, and more need to be ensured.

As a PhD student at TU Delft, you will conduct impactful research on two key aspects in advancing the responsible use of AI within the police force. First, you will investigate the standards and values surrounding AI usage, particularly concerning openly available models to begin with. This entails defining what criteria these models must meet, beyond common considerations like bias and fairness. You will research which values AI systems need to be aligned with through in-depth case studies at the Police. Second, you will also design methods to systematically evaluate a range of models against these established standards and values. This contribution ensures the responsible deployment of AI within the police force, pushes forward our understanding of how to align AI models in practice, and maximizes the efficiency of utilizing publicly available models.

Through these efforts, you will significantly contribute to advancing the important area of AI alignment and help foster an ethical and accountable AI culture within the organization.

Your project is part of the Model-Driven Decisions Lab, a Police-TU Delft initiative, where you will join an interdisciplinary community of four fellow PhD students. Together, you will share knowledge to tackle AI-assisted decision-making from different perspectives. To foster close collaboration with the stakeholders and work on practical implementation, you will spend 20% of your time at the National Police’s strategy and innovation division. Given the ethical and moral facets of your research, you will also work closely with colleagues of the Delft Digital Ethics Centre at the Faculty of Technology, Policy, and Management (TPM). Your home base will be the Web Information Systems research group at the Computer Science faculty (EEMCS). As an internationally diverse team of driven academics and students, we cultivate a welcoming and collaborative environment. We will give you all the support and training you need to evolve both personally and professionally.

Learn more about your project at the Model-Driven Decisions Lab.

**Requirements**:

- You have a keen interest in AI alignment, human-AI interaction and explainable AI and enjoy collaborating with experts in different disciplines.
- You harness your communication skills to work with different scientific and nonscientific stakeholders in different work cultures.

Conditions of employment

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2872 per month in the first year to € 3670 in the fourth year. In the 5th year, you will receive a temporary monthly allowance based on the gross difference between salary scale P, step 3 and salary scale 10, step 3.

The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organize events to expand your (social) network.
