I want to contribute to the understanding of how Artificial Intelligence can be purposefully integrated in society by studying how different actors in complex system relate to AI and how this influences their collaboration.

Presentation

AI is increasingly integrated into our society also in complex systems that are important for our modern society to function, e.g. energy systems, healthcare systems etc.


​​While AI can be used in facing societal challenges as climate change and urbanization etc., it is also associated with uncertainties regarding the risks. Therefore, a greater understanding of how AI affects organizations is needed when AI is integrated, also in the complex systems that our modern society depends on.

In my research, I use a sensemaking perspective where I look at how actors jointly understand and create meaning of how AI contributes to future complex systems.

​​I also study how AI can influence the future-oriented, collective, sensemaking processes needed in the development of future systems in society, and what impact it can have on the organizations involved.
