We have three PhD scholarships available in the NLP research group at Marburg University within the newly established junior research group "Human-in-Control: Implementing employee co-determination in the design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence".

The project, funded by the Hans Böckler Foundation, aims to investigate how to move from human-in-the-loop towards human-in-control in AI systems, with a particular focus on employee participation, system design, and workplace impact. Research topics include (but are not limited to):

• Integrating employee perspectives into AI system design (e.g., requirements engineering)
• Technical approaches to strengthen human oversight and control in NLP/AI systems
• Organizational processes to improve job quality and worker influence in AI-supported environments
