Engagement of humane AI in practice

Proposal Background

As Artificial Intelligence is becoming more prevalent across various industries, the ethics and humanity of AI practices have emerged as significant aspects to consider. While discussions about responsible AI are ongoing, there is a lack of clarity on how these principles are implemented in roles directly related to AI. Most current research has concentrated on overarching governance or regulatory frameworks, but there is an emerging need to examine how humane and responsible AI is integrated into daily job practices. In this PhD research you will explore the intersection of Ethical and responsible AI and practical application, emphasizing how AI practitioners are navigating the challenges of innovation, accountability, and social impact in the workplace.

Research Questions

In this PhD research you will answer the following research questions:

Where can Humane AI principles be found in AI development environments?
How do non-specialist developers engage with humane AI in practice?

Objectives

The main objectives of this projects are:

To critique recent literature on the development of human AI principles and practices to frame existing research gaps.
To develop a methodology to understand the current engagement with humane AI principles and practices
To conduct studies to gather and analyse field data to understand the current practices in AI development environments.
