About
The use of AI tools is often seen an extension, or even an enhancement, of the human. In my doctoral thesis I look at the complex relationship betwen human and machine, within a university in the midst of an identity crisis.
My PhD project concerns the ongoing "AI-crisis" surrounding the use of large language models (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) in higher education. I engage in dialogue with students, teaching staff, and administrative employees who navigate unclear boundaries for AI-use in a tension between disciplinary formation ("fagdannelse") and instrumentalism. The preliminary title of the project is "Fast Education: a long story aboushortcuts and AI in education". This ethnographic work is based on participant observation and interviews with students and staff at NTNU in Trondheim.
