Job Zusammenfassung
In dieser Position erforschst du, wie menschliches Vertrauen in KI-Systeme entsteht, betrieben wird und Fehlinterpretationen unterliegt, sowie die Auswirkungen von Transparenz und Verantwortlichkeit auf die Nutzererfahrung.
Deine Rolle im Team
- The Young Investigator Group Human Factors in AI Systems researches how AI shapes the way we think, feel, interact, and behave, as well as how AI influences our emotions, decision-making, and social connections.
- The general aim is to better assess, understand, and guide the effects of AI systems, ensuring a trustworthy, human-centered way of development and deployment.
- By taking an interdisciplinary perspective, the research combines insights from psychology, computer science, and human-computer interaction to better understand these complex dynamics.
- In doing so, the group seeks not only to analyze current challenges but also to develop frameworks and practical recommendations that support human-centered AI design and governance.
- To that end, we seek a PhD researcher to work on (a) human trust and trust calibration in AI systems, including how trust is formed, maintained, and potentially miscalibrated in interactions with AI; (b) cognitive and social attributions toward AI (e.g., mental state attribution), examining how people perceive, interpret, and make sense of AI behavior; and (c) formal and informal mechanisms of AI transparency, accountability, and certification, with a focus on how these mechanisms can enhance user understanding, oversight, and responsible use, (d) or related fields.
- Contributing to cutting-edge interdisciplinary research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, and ethical system design.
- Take ownership of a defined research direction aligned with the group's themes, working with a high degree of independence and initiative.
- Conduct research using methods appropriate to the project and your background, including quantitative and qualitative approaches.
- Publish and present research at top-tier venues and contribute to the academic community.
- Collaborate with researchers across disciplines and institutions (computer science, statistics, cybersecurity), contributing to a supportive and engaged research environment.
