Presentation title: “Studying AI@Work, A practice based perspective”
Abstract: I will present our past and present research projects on how AI is developed, implemented and used in organizations and how this reconfigures the work of data-scientists, domain experts, professionals and managers. I will start with an overview of the various perspectives on AI@Work and will then give some illustrations taken from our practice based research. I will discuss some generative findings related to how to manage AI implementation, based on Waardenburg et al (2021), as well as generative findings about how to increase collaboration between developers and domain experts. Finally, I will discuss our lessons learned in terms of doing ethnographic research, such as gaining and sustaining access and studying both the technological as the social aspects of AI.
