I am happy to share that I am starting a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Technology & Society, with a specialization in #STS & medical AI, at Lund University.
I will work in two research projects exploring ethical & epistemological dimensions of AI-supported predictive precision medicine 😊

Tack 🎩!!

In the article I explore AI experts' truth practices and valuations of ground truths in medical AI development. It makes visible the role of human expertise and the perceived strengths and limits of expert-based annotations and medical classifications. #STS #AI #CriticalAI #CriticalDataStudies

Very happy to see that this special issue of Sociologisk Forskning is now out in the world and I am honored to have my paper included!
