Project description
This position is part of The Norwegian Centre for Embodied AI (NCEI, https://www.ntnu.edu/web/ncei ), one of Norway’s six national AI centres. NCEI brings together leading robotics and AI groups with key partners from across Norway with international collaborators to study how intelligence emerges from the interaction between body, computation, and environment, in various types of flying, ground-based, and aquatic robots. Our mission is to chart a generalisable path for physical AI and transform how robot morphology and autonomy are co-designed, enabling new generations of systems tailored to their operational environments and missions. You will join an international community with world-class facilities and strong collaborations across Norwegian universities, research institutes, industry, public agencies, and leading global institutions.
This postdoc position will focus on Ethics in Embodied AI. Embodied AI systems introduce unique ethical concerns due to their physical presence and ability to interact with the world. As these systems advance, we have a responsibility to address issues ranging from safety and security to social impacts and environmental sustainability.
More specifically, the postdoc will work on the following topics, in collaboration with the rest of the team:
- Identify and analyze key ethical issues raised by Embodied AI across various application domains, including safety, reliability, accountability for autonomous actions, and privacy
- Investigate social and environmental impacts, such as potential job displacement, social dependency, and the environmental sustainability of robot production and operation
- Develop security and regulatory insights, addressing risks like hacking and weaponization, while exploring how legal frameworks must evolve to establish liability
- Develop the NCEI Ethics Framework, creating an "Ethics toolbox" with core statements and analytical tools to guide future development
- Promote transparency and stakeholder engagement, ensuring diverse voices are heard in the design and deployment of Embodied AI
- Collaborate closely with the rest of the NCEI centre contributing to a successful integration of ethics research in the centre
- Foster global collaboration to address cross-border ethical and regulatory challenges
- Document results, publish in top venues, and contribute to the center's ethical guidelines
The main purpose of a postdoctoral fellowship is to provide the candidates with enhanced skills to pursue a scientific top position within or beyond academia. To promote a strategic career path, all postdoctoral research fellows are required to submit a professional development plan no later than one month after commencement of the postdoctoral period.
