MSC researcher receives grant for digital research project

Associate Professor Nanna Bonde Thylstrup has received a grant from Independent Research Fund Denmark for a thematic research project within digital technologies titled ‘AI Reuse’.

The project has been developed by Nanna Bonde Thylstrup, together with co-PIs Mikkel Flyverbom (MSC) and Louise Amoore (Durham University), against the backdrop of the efforts in the public sector in Denmark to create new digital infrastructures.

The project's purpose is two-fold: firstly, it will develop a much-needed theoretical framework for understanding the material, ethical and political implications of data reuse in machine learning technologies. Secondly, and on the basis of this, the project will develop strategies and recommendations that can help the Danish public sectortransition into the age of datafication without violating

rights or creating unjust systems. 

Specifically, the project will explore and accumulate knowledge on digital transformations by studying how the pioneering data industry reuses data and algorithms, focusing on questions of accountability and ethics. This knowledge will have direct impact on the ethical sustainability of the Danish public sector in developing strategies for machine learning

The project will run during the period 2020 – 2023 and the project team will be expanded to include a Postdoc. For more information about the project, please contact Nanna Bonde Thylstrup, nbt.msc@cbs.dk.
