3 PhD Scholarships at Marburg University in the Project Human-in-Control: Implementing employee co-determination in the design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence

Overview

We have three PhD scholarships available in the NLP research group at Marburg University within the newly established junior research group “Human-in-Control: Implementing employee co-determination in the design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence”.

The project, funded by the Hans Böckler Foundation, aims to investigate how to move from human-in-the-loop towards human-in-control in AI systems, with a particular focus on employee participation, system design, and workplace impact. Research topics include (but are not limited to):
– Integrating employee perspectives into AI system design (e.g., requirements engineering)
– Technical approaches to strengthen human oversight and control in NLP/AI systems
– Organizational processes to improve job quality and worker influence in AI-supported environments
