SUMMARY:Human-AI Decision-Making: A Phenomenon-Driven Study in Personalized Medicine — PhD Defense
DESCRIPTION:Bijona Troqe defends her doctoral thesis\, “Human-AI Decision-Making: A Phenomenon-Driven Study in Personalized Medicine“\, at Linköping University on September 22. \nSee event. \nAbstract\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into organizational decision-making\, creating new forms of human-AI collaboration. Yet\, little is known about how human-AI decision-making unfolds in practice\, particularly in complex contexts such as personalized medicine. \nThis thesis explores human-AI decision-making as an organizational process situated in complex contexts. Using a phenomenon-driven approach and embedded case studies from personalized medicine and data-driven healthcare in Sweden\, it examines how humans and AI jointly shape decision-making. \nThe findings contribute to a multi-level understanding of human-AI decision-making that moves beyond viewing AI as a decision support tool. At the organizational level\, AI reshapes attention\, search processes\, decision premises and routines. At the interactional level\, AI becomes meaningful through ongoing sensemaking as actors interpret its outputs and incorporate them into organizational action. At the individual level\, AI transforms how professional judgment is formed\, exercised\, and legitimized\, while its outputs are interpreted through existing professional and organizational frames. \nOverall\, the thesis shows that human-AI decision-making is distributed\, situated\, and context dependent. It highlights the importance of recognizing fluid human-AI roles and critically reflecting on how AI shapes organizational attention and decision-making in complex environments. \nSee full thesis. \nSupervisors\n–  Nicolette Lakemond\, Professor\, Department of Management and Engineering\, Linköping University– Gunnar Holmberg\, Adjunct Professor\, Department of Management and Engineering\, Linköping University– Besma Glaa\, Associate Professor\, Department of Management and Engineering\, Linköping University \nOpponent\n– Anna Essén\, Associate Professor\, Department of Entrepreneurship\, Stockholm School of Economics

SUMMARY:AI in Educational Practice: Designing for Critical AI Literacy — PhD Defense
DESCRIPTION:Johanna Velander defends her doctoral thesis\, “AI in Educational Practice: Designing for Critical AI Literacy“\, at Linnaeus University on September 25. \nSee event. \nAbstract\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in educational practice\, yet AI literacy is often defined through predefined competencies that say less about how it is understood\, enacted\, and shaped in specific contexts. This research investigates how AI literacy is conceptualised in research and policy\, understood by teachers\, enacted through interaction with generative AI (GenAI)\, and used to inform the design of educational GenAI systems that support reflective and critical engagement. \nThe methodology combines Emergent Research Design structured with Design Research Methodology. This allows the research focus to develop in response to empirical findings\, methodological insights\, and rapid changes in the educational AI landscape\, while maintaining a coherent progression from problem clarification and descriptive inquiry towards exploratory design-oriented knowledge. Adopting a practice-oriented perspective\, the thesis synthesises conceptual\, empirical\, interactional\, and design-oriented inquiry across eight studies. \nFindings show that AI literacy is frequently framed in operational and competency-oriented terms\, while sociotechnical\, critical\, and agentive dimensions remain less developed. Teachers’ understandings of AI are often shaped by fragmented and informal learning\, although their concerns extend to trust\, responsibility\, authorship\, bias\, and pedagogical judgement. Technical understanding does not automatically lead to broader sociotechnical reasoning\, and recognising AI-related risks is not equivalent to acting critically in practice. Teacher–GenAI interaction reveals AI literacy as situated and relational: it becomes visible through how teachers delegate tasks\, interpret and adapt outputs\, question suggestions\, exercise judgement\, and negotiate responsibility. \nThe thesis further argues that literacy is increasingly bound up with machine processes. Meaning-making\, knowledge production\, and pedagogical action are no longer exclusively human activities but emerge through relations among teachers\, learners\, AI systems\, infrastructures\, and institutional conditions. This resonates with critical posthumanist accounts of literacy and shifts attention from what individuals know about AI to how humans and non-humans jointly shape what can be known and done. \nSupporting critical AI literacy therefore requires attention to both education and design. Educational GenAI systems should be evaluated not only for accuracy\, usability\, and efficiency\, but also for whether they support reflection\, surface uncertainties and question assumptions. The thesis contributes a situated account of AI literacy and an interaction-informed rationale for educational GenAI system design rather than a universal literacy framework or validated design solution. \nSupervisors\n– Marcelo Milrad\, Professor\, Linnaeus University– Nuno Otero\, Senior Lecturer\, University of Greenwich– Teresa Cerratto Pargman\, Professor\, Stockholm University \nOpponent\n– Jimmy Jaldemark\, Professor\, Mid Sweden University

SUMMARY:Så påverkar AI svensk ekonomi och arbetsmarknad - Webbinarium och lansering av ny rapport om AI
DESCRIPTION:Observera att detta event organiseras självständigt av WASP‑HS‑forskare och inte av WASP‑HS Program Office. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Så påverkar AI svensk ekonomi och arbetsmarknad – Webbinarium och lansering av ny rapport om AI\nAI är inte bara en ny teknik. Den förändrar vilka arbetsuppgifter som utförs\, hur företag organiserar sin verksamhet och vilka kompetenser som efterfrågas. Men hur snabbt sker förändringen och hur kan vi följa den medan den pågår? \nDen 30 september kl. 9.00-10.15 bjuder Tillväxtanalys in till ett webbinarium där myndigheten presenterar en ny rapport som använder administrativa data i nära realtid för att fånga AI:s genomslag i svensk ekonomi. \nWebbinariet tar avstamp i rapportens resultat och diskuterar frågor som: Hur påverkas produktivitet och löner? Vilka branscher och yrken möter de största förändringarna? Och vad kan de tidiga signalerna säga om den omställning som nu pågår på arbetsmarknaden? \nRapporten är författad av Oskar Nordström Skans\, professor i nationalekonomi vid Uppsala universitet och forskningsledare för WASP-HS forskningsmiljö “AI\, Structural Change\, and the Future of Work”\, och Leo Sokolow Romin\, doktorand vid Uppsala universitet. Rapporten är den första i ett nystartat samverkansprojekt mellan Tillväxtanalys och Uppsala universitet som ska ge snabbare och mer träffsäkra analyser av AI:s ekonomiska effekter. \nVid webbinariet medverkar också Anna Pettersson Westerberg\, generaldirektör Pensionsmyndigheten\, Lars Persson\, professor och vice VD\, Institutet för Näringslivsforskning och Susanne Ackum\, akademichef\, Linneuniversitet för att diskutera möjligheter och utmaningar med den snabba utvecklingen av den nya tekniken. Sverker Härd\, generaldirektör och Marie Gartell\, avdelningschef\, Tillväxtanalys\, deltar också. \nRegistrera dig till eventet. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nAI\, Structural Change\, and the Future of Work\nVill du veta med om WASP-HS forskningsmiljö AI\, Structural Change\, and the Future of Work? \n\n\n			\n				Läs mer

SUMMARY:Navigating the Sociotechnical Gap in Explainable Artificial Intelligence — PhD Defense
DESCRIPTION:Leila Methnani defends her doctoral thesis\, “Navigating the Sociotechnical Gap in Explainable Artificial Intelligence“\, at Umeå University on 2 October. \nSee event. \nAbstract\nAs Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions become increasingly embedded in society and across industries\, demands for explainability and transparency of AI decision-making have intensified. Much progress has been made in developing the technical aspects of eXplainable AI (XAI) solutions\, but the social and interactive aspects remain underexplored. This thesis aims to identify and investigate ways forward for XAI as a sociotechnical system—where the social and technical components are recognised as tightly coupled. We propose tools for navigating the sociotechnical gap that arises when technical XAI solutions do not meet the social requirements in demand. Through a combination of empirical (user-centred design\, focus groups)\, computational (argumentation-based reasoning)\, and critical methods\, we examine how explainability can (or cannot) be operationalised depending on contextual and social needs. \nIn our structured review of the Variable Autonomy Robotics literature—an AI subfield where interactivity is key—we find that approaches to explainability and transparency require consideration for the overall human-AI teaming mission as an entry point. The distinct challenges around control and trust in each human-AI teaming effort revealed the importance of operationalising how to explain by breaking down contextual information: who is in need of an explanation\, what do they need explained and why? These are design decisions of interactive solutions that can benefit greatly from interdisciplinary efforts\, especially as XAI moves towards a more human-centric discipline. \nOur interdisciplinary work shows how counterfactual explanations can support the explainability needs of operators in the process industries through the development of an interactive dashboard. While contextual inquiry proved to be valuable in our synthesis of explainee requirements and explainer selection\, we also propose a way to formalise explainer choice with computational argumentation. We find that the transparency afforded by computational argumentation techniques supports navigation of the sociotechnical gap by ensuring XAI is also designed with visible seams as per seamful design. \nClarifying boundaries (seams) of these systems for relevant stakeholders involves crafting relevant metrics for evaluating XAI as a sociotechnical discipline. Comparisons between common quantitative metrics for evaluating counterfactuals and Grice’s maxims of conversation—a popular conversational model from the study of pragmatics in linguistics—reveal a loose relationship\, but one that fails to capture contextual and social complexities. This is a gap that we frame as a broader technosolutionist tendency in our critique of an adjacent topic: AI safety and the technocentric view of how to achieve alignment. This thesis argues that issues of AI safety\, alignment\, explainability\, and transparency require sustained sociotechnical inquiry rather than pure technical fixes. \nSupervisors\n– Virginia Dignum\, Professor of Responsible AI\, Umeå University– Andreas Theodorou \nOpponent\n– Ericka Johnson\, Professor in Gender and Society\, Linköping University

SUMMARY:Conference: Digital Sovereignty in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is independently organized by WASP-HS researchers and not the WASP-HS Program Office. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				As AI systems increasingly mediate access to information\, public services\, markets\, and social interaction\, questions of digital sovereignty move to the centre of legal and political debates. For the EU and Sweden\, digital sovereignty is not merely about technological independence; it is about preserving fundamental rights\, democratic self-determination\, and the rule of law in an AI-driven society while remaining globally interconnected and innovation-friendly. \nEuropean societies rely heavily on digital infrastructures\, data flows\, and AI technologies developed and operated across borders. This dependence raises critical questions: Who controls the data\, algorithms\, and standards shaping social and economic life? How can the EU’s legal framework protect individual autonomy while enabling collective governance and competitiveness? And how can Europe assert regulatory influence without reinforcing fragmentation or digital protectionism? \nThese questions are at the core of a conference organized within the WASP-HS Research Environment “The Rule of AI” that will provide an interdisciplinary forum to examine how digital sovereignty can be meaningfully conceptualised and operationalised in the age of AI – across individual\, institutional\, and global dimensions. \nFunded by Örebro University – AI\, Robotics and Cybersecurity Center (ARC) \nRegistration\nRead more and register here to attend the event. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nThe Rule of AI\nWant to know more about the WASP-HS Research Environment The Rule of AI? \n\n\n			\n				Read more

SUMMARY:Kan AI-infrastruktur styras i välfärden?
DESCRIPTION:Vänligen observera att evenemanget organiseras av WASP-HS-forskare och inte av WASP-HS programkontor\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Hur kan AI användas på ett ansvarsfullt och samhällrelevant sätt? Inom denna seminarieserie lyfter vi frågor som rör AI och autonoma systems påverkan på välfärden. \nAI-omställningen sker i hög grad genom AI-baserade informationssystem som integreras i verksamheternas arbets- och beslutsprocesser. Den påverkar hur information skapas\, lagras\, söks och omsätts i beslut. Samtidigt skapar beroendet av externa leverantörer nya sårbarheter och väcker frågor om hur krav på rättssäkerhet\, transparens\, arkivering\, insyn och dataskydd kan upprätthållas när informationshanteringen sker i system utanför den offentliga organisationens direkta kontroll. Utmaningen är därför inte bara teknisk och juridisk\, utan också organisatorisk och kompetensmässig. Under passet som leds av Vanja Carlsson diskuteras politiska mål om digital suveränitet och förutsättningar för lokala offentliga organisationer att nå kontroll över sin information. \nSeminariet är öppet för alla intresserade.

How do they impact human work and our understanding of social relationships and societal values? Complex organizational work is needed to make robot fleets run smoothly and bring forward societal concerns about care\, safety and responsibility. Join the WASP-HS conference AI for Humanity and Society 2026 themed “Robots and Autonomous Systems in Everyday Life”. \nRobots and autonomous systems have left the laboratories and are now entering homes\, schools\, hospitals and public spaces. They are becoming part of everyday life. Being a material and mobile manifestation of artificial intelligence\, robots raise new questions about autonomy and agency in relationships with individuals. \nThis year’s conference\, Robots and Autonomous Systems in Everyday Life\, will explore how individuals\, organizations\, and societies are impacted when robots enter our daily life\, shedding light on how humans work to make autonomous systems at home in the world. WASP-HS welcomes researchers\, industry leaders\, policymakers\, and civil society to come together to make sense of emerging developments and to discuss agendas for humane futures with autonomous systems and AI. Through panels\, keynotes and an interactive reception\, we will engage with topics such as coordination and interaction with robots as a form of embodied AI\, robots in education\, regulatory and policy issues related to autonomous systems\, as well as the roles robots and autonomous systems may play in care and crisis. \nThe WASP-HS AI for Humanity and Society 2026 conference fosters human-centered perspectives on robots and autonomous systems\, offering a space to examine emerging challenges and to jointly imagine possible futures — where robots and autonomous systems can foster human relationships\, contribute to inclusive public spaces\, and stimulate meaningful work. We warmly welcome you to join us in Linköping at Mjärdevi Science Park (Teknikringen 7) on 10–11 November\, 2026. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Keynotes\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Steve Benford\n					\n					Dunford Professor of Computer Science\, University of Nottingham And UKRI Turing AI World Leading Research Fellow \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Janet Vertesi\n					\n					Associate Professor\, Princeton University and Associate Director of the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Preliminary Conference Program\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday\, 10 November\n12:00 Registration opens \n13:00–13:15 Welcome and introduction \n13:15–14:00 Panel 1: Coordinating Human and Robot BodiesModerator: Valentina Fantasia\, Lund UniversityEmily Hofstetter\, Linköping UniversityJuliene Madureira Ferreira\, Tampere UniversityMadeline Balaam\, KTH Royal Institute of Technology  \n14:15–15:00 Panel 2: Educational Robots and AIModerator: Ali Reza Majlesi\, Karolinska InstitutetGinevra Castellano\, Uppsala UniversityLinnéa Stenliden\, Linköping UniversitySofia Serholt\, University of Gothenburg \n15:00–15:30 Coffee Break \n15:30–16:15 Opening KeynoteSteve Benford\, University of Nottingham And UKRI Turing AI World Leading Research Fellow \n16:30–18:30 Interactive ReceptionParticipants are welcome to explore live demonstrations where researchers and partners showcase robots\, prototypes\, and concepts.
