Maike Osborne (born Michael Osborne, 1982[1]) is an Australian academic and scientist who serves as a professor of machine learning at University of Oxford in the Machine Learning Research Group in the Department of Engineering Science.[2]
In 2016 she co-founded Mind Foundry,[3] an artificial intelligence company, along with fellow professor Stephen Roberts.[4]
Education
She has a BEng in Mechanical Engineering and a BSc in both Pure Mathematics and Physics from the University of Western Australia.[5] She has a PhD in Machine Learning from the University of Oxford.[6]
Career
Osborne has contributed to over 100 publications,[7] and her work has received over 24,000 citations with an h-index of 46 according to Google Scholar.[8] and has acted as principal or co-investigator for £10.6M of research funding.[9]
Her career has focused in particular on Bayesian approaches to AI and machine learning, named after the famous British statistician Thomas Bayes.[10] Osborne's work has contributed to Probabilistic numerics, with Osborne co-authoring the first textbook on the subject.[11]
In 2013, Osborne co-authored a paper alongside Swedish-German economist Carl Benedikt Frey called "The Future of Employment: How Susceptible are Jobs to Computerisation?".[12] The paper has received over 13,000 citations and extensive media coverage.[13][14][15]
In 2023 Osborne gave oral evidence to the UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee on the subject of the "Governance of Artificial Intelligence".[16] Her testimony received significant coverage around her warnings of the threat of "rogue AI".[17][18]
Honors
She is also an Official Fellow of Exeter College,[19] and Lecturer at St Peter's College, Oxford,[20], a Fellow of the ELLIS society.[21] She joined the Oxford Martin School in 2015 as Lead Researcher on the Oxford Martin Programme on Technology and Employment and is Co-Director of the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative.[22] She is a Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems.[23]
