Thesis topics

I am open for various topics, at the intersection between technology, organizations and individuals. Below some fields I am particularly interested in. However, if you have another topic in mind, do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your topic. Use Calendly (opens in a new window) to arrange a meeting.

AI and decision-making

Algorithm aversion: Individuals’ reactions of individuals to decisions made by AI (favorable vs. unfavorable decisions)

How do individuals perceive AI-based performance evaluation?
How can algorithm aversion be overcome?
What determines perceptions of fairness of AI-decision making of individuals (e.g., employees, customers)?

The influence of ethical AI on decision-making

How can ethical AI be defined? What are use-cases for ethical AI?
Who do individuals react when they perceive an AI ethical compared to when not?
What types of explanations make the decision process more transparent and understandable?
How can explanations be communicated to users such that they improve the user’s trust and improves human-AI collaboration (i.e., efficiency)?

Paradoxes in AI implementation and use

What are specific paradoxes related to AI and use?
How do organizations deal with the paradoxes of implementing AI?

Human-AI collaboration (hybrid intelligence)

How must AI systems be designed to work in synergy with humans?
How can these systems learn from and adapt to humans and their environment?
How can we ensure that they behave ethically and responsibly?
What are the specific challenges and benefits of human-AI collaboration, given the complementarity of their skills and abilities?
How can human-AI collaboration be used to improve learning systems (e.g., communicating intent and giving feedback) or staffing systems (who to staff on which project)?

The convergence of IT and OT:

Developing and testing an ontology for IT and OT (characteristics of the technology, implementation, and management approaches) to better understand those two knowledge regimes.
Literature review on cyber-resilience regarding OT to provide a synthesis of the existing knowledge on how to increase cyber-resilience
Literature review on different approaches to run/operate OT to develop an OT operating model
