With the increasing introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical medicine, ethical issues have been highlighted. For example; how do we navigate wanting both accurate, but complicated, AI models with wanting to explain their inner workings? When clinicians and patients encounter ethical issues, they may reject using AI models, meaning that possible benefits like faster diagnostics or personalized treatments may be lost.
This PhD project aims to investigate the ethical issues that arise with the introduction of AI into healthcare and clinical medicine. Specifically, it will unfold the possible ethical issues that might arise in the future given the current state of AI in this field. By understanding how clinicians and patients understand and engage with the future ethical issues of healthcare AI in practice today, we will understand how to develop and implement AI in healthcare that can be deemed ethically acceptable both now and in the future.Description

The aim is to foreground the “who” of surveillance - we are not just observed objects, but also subjects who experience and practice surveillance - thus opening new scientific territory. Three qualitative case studies focusing on healthcare and daily life investigate the experience of surveillance, technological affordances, and diverse forms of agency individuals use in response to surveillance.Description

From being an ideal, it has become imperative to act responsibly in all matters in society. The term ‘responsible design’ has been described as design that ‘responds to the needs of and challenges faced by the society’ (Eggink et al. 2020). Currently, in the sense of urgency, there is an overwhelming set of initiatives, challenges and re-orientations of previous approaches being both arbitrarily and systematically tried out, including but not limited to sustainability, gender issues, ethnic rights, inclusivity, economic marginalisation, reconnecting man and nature, peace movements, CSR and business ethics, climate crisis responses and food and energy scarcity (Cooper, 2005). Despite this overwhelmingly diverse set of initiatives scattered across institutions, we lack a clear conceptual understanding of what ‘responsible design’ is, its implications and how it may be practised.
The ResQ-Design research network will bring together a diverse set of design researchers from across disciplines and institutions in Denmark for the first time to explore and question a) what responsible design is; b) what drives the responsible design agendas; and what are the broad implications of responsible design for, c) design processes and practices, d) designed solutions, e) design institutions, and f) design educations. This new exploratory research network will include a set of research workshops, exchanges, conference participation, and large-scale grant application writing, which, combined, target the exchange of current ideas, projects and agendas across the network, to establish new research constellations, foster new original ideas and approaches, leading to newly established joint research funding ventures.
The network gathers all DK research based design educations and will facilitate connections to also vocational programs within design.Description
