The School of Computing Science is looking for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to Human-AI Interaction, working with the Principal Investigator Simone Stumpf. The project seeks to support diverse stakeholders without a background in AI, such as domain experts, regulators, decision subjects and end-users, undertake audits of predictive and generative AI, either individually or collectively. To enable stakeholders to carry out an audit, the project will produce workbenches that support them in assessing the quality and potential harms of AI. The participatory audits will be embedded in methodologies which guide how, when and who carries out these audits. We will train stakeholders in carrying out participatory audits and work towards a certification framework for AI solutions. The project brings together a consortium of 7 academic institutions and 24 partner organisations to ensure that AI is safe and trustworthy.
The successful candidate will be expected to undertake human-AI research, including conducting user research, carrying out design and development of workbenches and methodologies, as well as undertaking evaluations of prototypes. The candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.
For informal enquiries or further information about the project, please contact Dr Simone Stumpf (Simone.Stumpf@glasgow.ac.uk)
