Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming core societal infrastructure, transforming how people live and work, how institutions operate, and how we promote human wellbeing and impact the environment. These developments create unprecedented opportunities to advance health, education, and economic development, but they require human-centered research, evidence-based metrics, and policy-guiding frameworks to ensure responsible, future-oriented solutions.
This Strategic Research Theme “AI, Society & Social Dynamics” establishes a comprehensive initiative to capture, predict, and guide the multifaceted transformations that AI and related technologies bring to individuals, social interactions, organisations, societies, and global dynamics. Given the rapid pace of technological development and the profound societal implications of this transformation, the initiative will foster research excellence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and strategic partnerships with government and industry to establish leadership and translate expertise and novel findings into actionable solutions for local and global contexts.
