One Ph.D. funded position, Dublin

The Centre for Digital Humanities at Trinity College Dublin is pleased to announce the availability of one funded PhD position to deliver a thesis project entitled “Language, Culture and the Empowerment Gap of Artificial Intelligence”.

The 4-year project, supervised by Dr Jennifer Edmond, has been generously supported by the Trinity College Dublin Provost’s PhD Awards fund, which cover full fees (EU or non-EU rates) as well as a stipend of €16,650.

The project will use a multi-layered, humanities-based, mixed methods approach to analyse the intersection between AI-based systems and democratic processes.

It will focus on the discourses and perceptions shaping these interactions, their origins and the practices they imply, so as to propose innovative approaches to addressing the challenges AI presents to democracy.
