Research
My research focuses on AI literacy in K-12 education. AI systems are a ubiquitous part of our lives and affect and influence the choices we make. Data collection and analysis are often hidden, and complex algorithms are difficult to explain. The risks and unintended effects such as bias stemming from input data or algorithm design have recently stirred discourse about how to inform and teach AI in K-12 education. The overall ambition of this Ph.D. project is to promote equity through education to empower citizens to engage in and participate in the democratic process and the shaping of future human technology cooperation. I am part of the research school Upgrade and I investigate how teacher education reflects current AI practices in society and is specifically involving teacher educators in co-designing methods/modules for meaningful engagement in algorithm design to promote awareness and equity through education.
As a PhD student, I am also affiliated with WASP-HS where opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems are in focus.
