Miranda Kajtazi, associate professor of informatics, researches how artificial intelligence is reshaping the conditions for people’s safety, dignity and equal participation in the digital society. Her work on digital inequalities shows that AI systems not only automate decision-making, but also increasingly determine whose voices are heard, whose risks are amplified and whose vulnerabilities are exposed, thereby widening the gap between rich and poor.

Patrik Stoopendahl, a postdoctoral researcher in business administration, is researching how generative AI is used in the retail industry, with a focus on value creation, efficiency and new ways of working. He is also interested in how generative AI influences how consumers make purchasing decisions, so-called “customer journeys”, and the implications of “agent-based commerce”. In addition to his research interest in generative AI, he is also the course coordinator for an advanced-level elective course in which students learn both how to use generative AI and how to reflect on generative AI from critical, strategic and legal perspectives. Patrik Stoopendahl represents the School of Economics as ‘Focus Group Leader for AI and Digitalisation’ in the collaboration between Lund University and Alfa Laval.
