Vacature Enthusiastic PHD Candidate

Developing organizational arrangements for artificial intelligence in public surveillance

TU Delft

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate from the field of policy analysis, public administration, policy
sciences or a related field to study and develop organizational implementation arrangements for Artificial Intelligence
(AI) for regulatory surveillance. The position is a for 4-year PhD track, financed by the Faculty of Technology, Policy

Based on these signals, we conclude that further development of AI has both technical and organizational aspects.
Successful further development of AI will therefore have to be linked to the organization of supervisory practices.

How are technical development of AI and the supervisory organization connected and how can this connection be
improved? Much literature on AI is about technical possibilities. Much literature deals with ethical concerns. Little
literature deals with the actual implementation and use of AI in organizational practice. A study into this subject
should have two characteristics:
- The research is interdisciplinary. It has both innovative-technical aspects and social-scientific aspects. The question
is about the interplay between the two.
- Connected to practice. We are looking for the application of AI in the context of practice. That is why we want to
conduct empirical research, using one or more cases.
