5 maanden geleden
Job description
We are seeking a dedicated PhD researcher to explore ethical and legal issues around AI-assisted decision-making, with a focus on crisis management. The selected candidate will analyse how AI can be designed and deployed in ways that align with values such as transparency, explainability, and trust. This research will delve into the intricacies of AI-human collaboration in high-stakes environments.
Scope of the research
The project working package encompasses four phases:
1. Formalization of Principles: Define and analyse key concepts of transparency, explainability, and trust within human-agent collaborations, particularly in the context of crowd crises.
2. Data Governance in Emergency Regulations: Explore the implications of legal frameworks such as the GDPR and the EU AI Act on AI design, emphasising privacy and ethical compliance.
3. Trust and “Human in the Loop”: Investigate human oversight in AI decision-making to enhance trust and reliability, particularly in urgent situations.
4. Design Principles & Framework Formulation and Testing: Develop a comprehensive framework that aligns with ethical guidelines, GDPR, and the proposed EU’s AI Act, focusing on the nuances of crowd crises.
