Inaugural Lecture: “Organizing AI: Transformations in Welfare Services and Education”

Helene Friis Ratner’s inaugural lecture as Professor of Organization Studies and Technology at DTU Management titled “Organizing AI: Transformations in Welfare Services and Education” will take place on February 5th, 15-17, DTU campus Lyngby

Short description: Digital technologies are transforming society. Generative AI, automation and new forms of prediction raise pressing questions about how to organize everything from small businesses to universities. As these technologies mediate communication, learning, and decision-making, they transform expertise and accountability. In this inaugural lecture, Helene Friis Ratner examines how recent developments in AI – ranging from controversial prototypes to more accepted uses – are changing public organizations and education. Studying them helps understand shifting ideas of what is ethical, legitimate, and desirable. The lecture offers a forward-looking research agenda for how universities as a societal actor can advance the use of digital technology such as AI in responsible and context-sensitive ways. At heart of this vision is a commitment to democratic values and to the everyday practices of the people impacted by AI.
