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:
