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 URL:https://wasp-hs.org/event3/human-ai-decision-making-a-phenomenon-driven-study-in-personalized-medicine-phd-defense/ CATEGORIES:PhD Defence,PhD Defense ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wasp-hs.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Bijona-Troqe-16-9.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260925T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260925T103000 DTSTAMP:20260919T184905 CREATED:20260831T075814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260915T120614Z UID:23917-1790330400-1790332200@wasp-hs.org SUMMARY:AI i välfärden – vad borde vi egentligen forska om? 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? I seminarieserien ”WASP-HS Fredag: När AI möter välfärden” lyfter vi frågor som rör AI och autonoma systems påverkan på välfärden. \nDen 25 September öppnar Lupita Svensson dörren till ett nytt forskningsprojekt om AI\, ansvar och professionellt arbete – men framför allt till ett samtal. Vilka frågor uppstår där AI faktiskt används? Vad ser verksamheterna som forskningen ännu inte har fått syn på? Ta med en erfarenhet\, en fråga eller ett problem.

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 URL:https://wasp-hs.org/event3/ai-in-educational-practice-desiging-for-critical-ai-literacy-phd-defense/ LOCATION:Fullriggaren\, Ma135\, Linnéuniversitetet\, Kalmar\, Kalmar\, Sweden ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wasp-hs.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Johanna-Velander-on-color.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260928 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261001 DTSTAMP:20260919T184905 CREATED:20260331T162017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260831T080008Z UID:22187-1790553600-1790812799@wasp-hs.org SUMMARY:Theorizing AI and Society in the Nordics—A Joint WASP-HS & CAISA Workshop DESCRIPTION: URL:https://wasp-hs.org/event3/theorizing-ai-and-society-in-the-nordics-a-joint-wasp-hs-caisa-workshop/ LOCATION:Sandhamn\, Stockholm\, Sandhamn\, 130 39 Sandön\, Stockholm\, Sweden ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wasp-hs.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Winter-Conference-21.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260930T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260930T101500 DTSTAMP:20260919T184905 CREATED:20260909T130622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260909T130622Z UID:24264-1790758800-1790763300@wasp-hs.org 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.
