Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanity and Society
Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanity and Society (WASP-HS) is a leading research program generating research and building expertise to advance understanding of how AI impacts humanity and society.
The program connects funded projects across Sweden and across disciplines. It further combines project funding with recruitment packages, a graduate school, and internationalization activities. The program thereby aims to contribute to the development of humanities and social sciences research on AI into a research field of the highest international quality. All this benefits science, society, and industry, and helps Sweden take a leading role in this field of research.
Funding
WASP-HS is generously funded by the Wallenberg Foundations. More specifically, Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation (MMW), Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation (MAW) and Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW).
