Join this dynamic workshop taking place this coming Wednesday to explore AI’s transformative impact on learning and work. Engage with experts and explore compelling future scenarios, crowdsourced from students, educators, and communities, and brought to life through powerful storytelling and short films. Collaborate in focused groups to design actionable roadmaps, identifying barriers, incentives, and strategies to help realize your collective vision by 2035.
Speakers include Gudela Grote, Babak Hodjat and Mark Nitzberg. Please register and join us for a conversation focusing on our capacity to align control and accountability for all stakeholders in a new AI supply chain. As AI evolves from static tools to autonomous, agentic systems, the question of who holds responsibility, and under what conditions, has never been more urgent.
From July 25-29,
2025, the Academy of Management (AOM) will host its 85th Annual Meeting in
Copenhagen, Denmark. We are happy to announce that our chair will be
featured in multiple sessions:
This workshop taking place in Freiburg/Breisgau, Germany, from March 24 to 26, 2025, offers a platform for networking, collaboration building, and topical exchange for early-career researchers working on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of work and organizational psychology/human factors/management and computer science, likely augmented with philosophical, ethical, and legal perspectives.
We are reaching out to AI companies that seek to establish themselves as leaders in promoting responsible AI. We aim to understand AI developers' design mindsets and the working conditions conducive to a proactive while also reflective approach to addressing AI's opportunities and challenges. Thereby, companies can be supported in gaining competitive advantage in ways that address both their technical and social responsibilities.
In today's fast-paced world of work, uncertainty is a constant companion. From technological advancements to changing market dynamics, it is something we all face daily. Rather than fearing uncertainty, what if we could harness its potential?
The chair received funding by the Mobility Initiative for the research project “Designing explainable ML-based systems for collaborative work in the railways” in collaboration with Siemens Mobility and the Swiss National Railways, and doctoral student Lena Schneider working on it. It started in Sepember 2022 and runs for 36 months. For this project we are hiriing a Postdoctoral Researcher. See add here:
The chair of Work and Organizational Psychology invites to a summer school on uncertainty at work in Ascona, Switzerland, from June 18 to 23, 2023. Deadline for a delaration of interest is November 1st, 2022, and should be sent to uncertaintysummerschool@ethz.ch. Link to conference page:
