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.

SUMMARY:AI for Humanity and Society 2026
DESCRIPTION:About\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Keynotes\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Program\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				More\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Robots and Autonomous Systems in Everyday Life\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				How can we live amidst and with robots? 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.
