معرفی
Rikke Frank Jørgensen serves as a Part-time Adjunct Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Copenhagen, where her research critically examines digital technology's societal impact. Her work bridges philosophical inquiry with practical policy analysis, focusing on algorithmic systems in public welfare contexts and evolving privacy paradigms.
Her primary research domains include Artificial Intelligence ethics, Algorithmic Decision-Making governance, and Digital Policy development within welfare states. She investigates how digitalization dissolves boundaries between public values and private interests, analyzes metaphorical frameworks in Danish digital policy discourse, and advocates for human-centered approaches to technological implementation. This interdisciplinary work integrates media studies, political philosophy, and sociology to address power dynamics in automated systems.
Recent publications reveal a concentrated focus on real-world algorithmic applications in Scandinavian welfare systems, with recurring themes of transparency deficits, ethical accountability, and the tension between market logic and social values. Her scholarship consistently emphasizes contextual understanding over technical determinism, particularly in public sector digitization.
