Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Future (HAIF) is a doctoral programme for 25 doctoral researhcers hosted by the University of Turku (UTU). HAIF unites research groups from the fields of computing, materials science, social sciences, law and humanities. The programme’s unique, human-centric approach stems from this interdisciplinary collaboration. HAIF’s objective is to provide training that promotes safe and secure, legally and ethically sustainable use of AI, with an emphasis on humans as developers, users and decision-subjects affected by the technology. In addition to individual and societal perspectives, HAIF’s research themes delve into the technological properties that shape interactions between humans and AI systems (e.g. transparency, interpretability, reliability and accountability). The global research collaborations and industry partnerships within the HAIF network bring in internationality, cross-sectorality and business relevance to the HAIF doctoral programme.
