WASP-HS is seeking to fill 2 PhD positions as part of the project ‘AI and the everyday political-economy of global health’ financed by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanities and Society (WASP-HS) as part of their Graduate School alongside PhD training at Malmö University, with Dr Michael Strange as the principal investigator. The project is focused on the central question: How are governance structures emerging in response to the rapidly accelerating role of AI in global healthcare, and what are the implications for the distribution of power in global politics? The question includes two key issues.
First, we need to know how institutional actors (i.e. states and international governmental organisations), are responding, and their relationship to private actors currently leading these developments.
Second, to understand the role of society and the individual person within these developments, research needs to look at the wider social context in which civil society, professional medical associations, as well as everyday individuals, including marginalised groups, relate to, and experience, both the proliferation of AI and autonomous systems in global healthcare and emergent governance regimes.
