I am Marta Choroszewicz (DSocSci, the title of docent in sociology) and I work at the Department of Sociology at the University of Eastern Finland. My work as a sociologist concentrates on the intersection between research on professional work, feminist theories, and science and technology studies. In my research, I have broadly investigated social inequalities in the professions, organizations and working life in general. More recently, I have studied development and implementation of data-driven practices and technologies in the Finnish health care and social services and engaged with the issues of building a digital welfare state via the use of new data technologies such as automated decision-making systems. Besides my own research projects, I worked in ProPSI, DaDSoc, DataLit and DEQUAL projects.
In 2024-2025, I work on a personal grant received from the Finnish Cultural Foundation for my project “Perpetual Piloting and Invisible Work of Automating Public Services in Finland”, in which I study Artificial Intelligence (AI) based innovation processes and (in)visible work associated with them in Finnish public administration. As a part of this project, I am also tackling the meaning of ‘social sustainability’ in the context of digitalizing welfare state. The research data I collected over two years is a unique and extensive ethnographic data set of innovation activities (100 interviews and 400+ hours of observation) in five public administration sectors from two public administration organisations. The data covers various stages of design, development, experimentation and deployment of AI tools, including decision support tools, AI assistants, Microsoft 365 Copilot and predictive algorithm systems.
In 2026-2027, I will be working as a grant researcher on my project “Navigating experimental AI tools within technology-enthusiastic context of Finnish public administration” funded by the North Karelia Foundation and the Ella and Georg Ehrnrooth Foundation on the impact of increasing uptake of experimental AI tools and systems on the public servants’ work and expertise as well as the Finnish public administration. The project is based on extensive ethnographic data to ensure a long-term perspective on ongoing – and accelerated by AI tools – digital transformation of Finnish public administration.
