Purpose and focus of the call

The purpose of this call is to support a research project that strengthens Nordic knowledge on how AI is implemented in practice in Nordic workplaces, within the context of the Nordic labour market model, and what this means for working life. The project should take an integrated perspective that includes working environment, labour market and labour law dimensions, and contribute to Nordic policy development by identifying opportunities, risks and conditions for responsible implementation of AI.

 

The project is expected to generate empirical knowledge on what actually happens when AI is introduced and used in workplaces. This includes examining how AI is implemented, governed and applied in real-world settings, with particular attention to implementation processes such as decision-making, roles and responsibilities, and forms of employee involvement.
