About
AI and robotics are rapidly transforming workplaces, services and everyday decision-making. However, successful transformation depends not only on technological capabilities but also on societal acceptance, human behaviour, trust and meaningful involvement of affected stakeholders.
This opportunity explores how co-creative approaches, Living Labs and participatory methods can support the development and implementation of AI and robotics solutions with stronger societal integration.
We are interested in:
-
Screening and connecting with relevant EU projects working on robotics, AI and societal transformation
-
Exploring how AI becomes part of new decision environments and influences choices, behaviours and interactions
-
Developing human-centred approaches that integrate perspectives from citizens, organisations and other stakeholders
-
Sharing methods for co-creation, stakeholder engagement and responsible innovation
Looking for collaboration with:
-
EU research projects and consortia working on AI, robotics and digital transformation
-
Researchers in behavioural science, psychology, human-computer interaction and responsible innovation
-
Living Labs and organisations interested in participatory technology development
The aim is to exchange experiences, identify synergies and explore opportunities for future collaboration around the societal dimension of technological transformation.
