A research area focusing on critical perspectives on and societal implications of AI.
This focus area builds on the ELS approach to AI – the analysis of AI in light of ethical, legal, and societal values and expectations, thereby engaging in the analysis of broader societal dimensions of AI. It adds to these established approaches a particular emphasis on the critical perspective – incorporating insights from a growing body of critical research into AI and how it comes into expression in social, political, and legal processes and its implications for fundamental rights, democracy, and the rule of law. The focus area thus covers field-specific research into AI in law, sociology, political science, and other relevant disciplines, while working towards transdisciplinarity – bridging the design, implementation, use, and societal consequences of AI.
TAIGA's Critical, Ethical, Legal and Social AI research area is coordinated by Markus Naarttijärvi, Associate Professor at Department of Law, Umeå University. His research revolves around constitutional rights and rule of law, in particular the intersection of technology, security and human rights.
