Colm’s research is focused on applying a behavioural lens to upstream organisational strategic decision-making related to AI systems integration, and downstream optimal human-ai collaboration. His research motivation is focused on contributing to evidence that can lead to maximum societal value creation from the integration of the technologies into organisations. His research will apply field trial-based experimental methods.
