Arbetet pågår för fullt i AROA-projektet vilket handlar om arbetsengagemang vid automatisering, robotisering, och artificiell intelligens (AI) inom tre skilda sektorer i arbetslivet: IT, tåg, samt lantbruk. AROA finansieras av Afa försäkringar och en del i projektets genomförande är att organisera regelbundna träffar med referensgruppen. För några veckor sedan var det återigen dags för avstämning […]

Jag och 700 andra personer hade i veckan chansen att delta på Gilla Jobbet-konferensen i Malmö, en mötesplats för diskussioner kring arbetsmiljöfrågor. Förutom att jag fick lyssna på flera intressanta föreläsningar, hade jag även möjligheten att hålla en presentation om vårt arbete med AI, automatisering och hur det påverkar arbetsmiljön. Här är några av höjdpunkterna […]
Continue readingAs we look ahead to the future of software engineering, one thing is clear: there is an urgent need for stronger communication between software engineering (SE) and human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers. This issue was brought to the forefront during the 2030 Software Engineering Workshop, co-located with the ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, workplaces, and education systems at an unprecedented pace. In response to this rapid evolution, the EDU-AI project was launched to explore and guide the integration of Generative AI into computing education. This initiative addresses questions about how AI impacts professional competencies, student learning experiences, and teaching practices. In this […]
Continue readingOn Friday, September 13, 2024, at Uppsala University, I will defend my Ph.D. thesis titled Care for Caregivers: Designing IT Applications for Informal Caregivers. This research contributes to the field of Information systems and informal caregiving, focusing on how technology can be used to support informal caregivers—those who provide care to their relatives with illness […]
