Jose Camacho-Collados is a professor at Cardiff University in the School of Computer Science and Informatics, [1] an International Master of chess [2] and the reigning Welsh Chess Champion. [3]
In 2017 Collados would publish his doctoral thesis, which he subsequently defended early into 2018 and received a Ph.D in Computer Science from Sapienza, University of Rome. [4]
In 2018, Collados would form part of a team of researchers from Cardiff University and the Charles III University of Madrid that provided software known as Veripol to Spanish police. [5] The software used LLM techniques to analyse text to determine the likelihood of a burglary police report being true or false. Though it had its flaws, it was rolled out for nationwide use in 2018 after a successful pilot in 2017. Following changes in EU law, in particular with regard to "high-risk AI" and a lack of transparency, the program ceased use in 2025. [6]
In 2023, Collados became a Professor at Cardiff University.
In 2007, Collados was awarded the FIDE Master title, and subsequently achieved the International Master title in 2013. [2] His title norms were achieved through two Swiss events in 2006 and 2008, [7] [8] and one Round Robin event in 2013. [9]
He has represented several federations over his career, including Spain, South Korea and Wales.
Collados has won the Welsh Chess Championship twice, in 2022 with 5.5/7, and in 2025 with 6.5/7.
