FoNTI-Project
My research centers around the ethical concerns and social implications that arise through human-AI interaction.
My PhD project concentrates on the influence Decision Support Systems (DSS) have on human agents. For this I will elaborate on a specific case, which very clearly outlines the problematic concerning the ascription of knowledge, trust and authority to AI-based DSS.
Based on this, I then turn to an analysis and subsequent evaluation of this influenceability of human agents through this specific form of AI. A final part of the project will then turn to the question of can vs. should we take advantage of the human influenceability through AI. The example of using AI as means to nudge human agents to more environmental- and climate friendly behaviour is to help dissassemble the ethical challenges this question.
