Dilemmas, debates, & challenges <br>Today, new digital tools and methods create a growing flood of Big data. In <br>order to manage this growing flood of data, many data-driven research projects <br>in biomedicine are turning to new analytical methods using AI. As a result, we <br>are currently experiencing an explosive introduction of AI in biomedicine. AI <br>seems to promise a whole new way of producing knowledge about the world. <br> <br>But what are the consequences of introducing AI in biomedical knowledge <br>production? What happens to knowledge production when human judgment and the <br>traditional scientific method are supplemented with, and sometimes replaced <br>by, AI and the analysis of large amounts of data? How do actors handle the <br>introduction of AI in the biosciences? What are the debates that AI lead to? <br>Challenges? Dilemmas? <br> <br>Qualifications <br>We are looking for candidates with a master's level degree from the social <br>sciences, humanities, or engineering with a strong interest in how technology <br>is intertwined with knowledge production.
