Human-centered Artificial Intelligence Master's Programme

Education facts

Code: T2HAI

Artificial intelligence (AI) creates completely new conditions for business, public sector, private individuals, and society at large. AI means both new opportunities and challenges for the transformation of society in all aspects. Existing structures and business models are being challenged and fundamentally changed. Global societal challenges regarding sustainability and society's sustainable transition are affected. The difference between interaction with humans and with AI is increasingly blurred, as personal responses become digital interactions with artificially intelligent agents. In order to responsibly realize the potential of AI for the ongoing transformation of society, there is need for knowledge of AI in relation to society, in all sectors of society. The overall purpose of the programme is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of how AI is transforming society and the ability to take leading roles in this transformation. The programme provides students with a broad theoretical foundation for understanding problems, methods and techniques for analyzing the implications of AI, as well as practical skills for managing AI-driven change in complex environments. Central to the programme is to be close to the research front in the areas included in the programme, and to work closely with industry, the public sector and civil society. The programme's pedagogy is based on creating a student-centered learning environment that encourages participation. The education programme strives for a mixed student group and therefore welcomes students with a bachelor's degree from a number of different fields, including cognitive science, computer science, media studies, information technology, economics, industrial economics and behavioral science. The programme prepares students for professional roles that arise as AI permeates society to a greater extent, for example AI strategists, UX designers with specialization in AI, AI Ethics Specialist. The programme also prepares students for further studies within the university.
