Personal profile
Research
I hold a Ph.D. in Technology and Society from Lund University.
My research is on digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), in relation to society and knowledge production, from social science and humanities (foremost STS) perspectives. The research concerns practices, ethics and epistemologies, of the development and use of AI within medicine, healthcare and public sector and the impact on matters such as transparency, agency, fairness and expertise.
My teaching is on perspectives on data in society, ethics of AI/ML, classification and knowledge organization.
