Att stärka den offentliga sektorn : En utforskning av AI implementering

Sundling, Viktor, Andrée, Viktor January 2023 (has links)
Genom att utföra en kvalitativ fallstudie på en stor svensk myndighet undersöker studien femanställdas perspektiv på Artificiell Intelligens (AI) och tar fram ett flertal nyckelfaktorer för en effektiv implementering av AI i den svenska offentliga sektorn. Studien syftar på att tillföra till litteraturen om implementering av AI i den offentliga sektorn. Detta på grund av att tekniken utvecklas för tillfället mycket snabbt och har stora potentiella fördelar för att öka effektiviteten i organisatoriska processer, dock kommer detta inte utan risk, då hinder som lyfts med studien är bland annat bristen på autonomi och en oro för felaktigabeslut. Denna studie bidrar således med insikter på hur den offentliga sektorn kan främja en effektiv implementering av AI. Studiens resultat betonar vikten av att förse personalen med förståelse för tekniken och hur dagens lagar upplevs som ett hinder för implementering av AI i den offentliga sektorn. / By conducting a qualitative case study on a prominent Swedish government agency, the study explores the viewpoints of five workers on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and offers a number of key variables for efficient AI implementation in the Swedish public sector. The goal of this study is to contribute to the literature on AI application in the public sector. This is especially crucial in considering the technology's rapid advancement, which has the ability to dramatically increase the efficiency of organizational operations. However, this progress is not without risk, as highlighted by some significant challenges; a lack of autonomy and worries of making incorrect decisions. As a result, our research discusses how the public sector could encourage efficient AI implementation. The research results demonstrate the need of educating personnel about thetechnology and addressing the perception of existing rules as challenges to the implementation of AI in the Swedish public sector.

Unmanned Stores In Sweden : A Quantitative Study On Enhancers And Inhibitors According To The Swedish Generation Z

Andersson, Pontus, Oscar, Johansson January 2023 (has links)
Introduction: Since the start of the digital age back in the 70s, digital technology has become a main tool for us humans to work, communicate, and enjoy ourselves on a day-to-day basis. The major push that set this new chapter of human life was due to the first military-manufactured computers of the time. The usage and development since then have grown exponentially all across our lives, affecting everything from hospital visits in Hong Kong to a late-night shopping experience in Stockholm. This leads us to today, where businesses are taking technological advances every day to keep their customers happy and satisfied, but also setting the bar higher and higher between their competitors. Some store owners have even figured out that physical human presence is not even needed in physical stores. The benefit is that the upkeep costs drop and almost no employees are needed; this is beneficial for small store locations in sparsely populated areas. In Sweden, it has become a huge problem that small towns and villages slowly die due to high upkeep costs for store owners. With these unmanned stores, the trend could change to the possessive. However, it is also pressured by the very technology-demanding Generation Z. Setting pressure on this retail sector to keep up and find the right way to proceed with their businesses in a way that fits Generation Z’s demand long term.  Purpose: This specific study will try to explain how different enhancers and inhibitors affect consumer acceptance according to Generation Z for this store concept in Sweden. The researchers of this thesis believe that this study is needed because of the vast growth of unmanned stores and the lack of research it has, especially in Scandinavia. Methodology: In order to answer the research question, nine different hypotheses were created with different inhibitors and enhancers derived from previous research. Furthermore, a combination of online and face-to-face questionnaires was conducted, whereby 133 valid respondents were collected. The data was then analyzed with the help of a multiple regression analysis. Conclusion:  From this research, it can be concluded that for the investigated enhancers: high levels of technology readiness, usefulness, and enjoyment were all factors affecting Gen Z´s acceptance of unmanned convenience stores. Furthermore, that lack of human interaction affects Gen Z´s resistance towards unmanned convenience stores. These results can be used for future research and for companies targeting Gen Z to shop at unmanned convenience stores.

Perceptions of Swedish older adults on the use of smart vacuum cleaners to support ageing in place

Singh, Satya Jeet, Poursadeghi Khiavi, Sahand January 2023 (has links)
This sequential study explores the perceptions of older adults and careworkers in Sweden regarding the benefits and challenges of smart vacuumcleaners. With a rapidly ageing population, understanding attitudes towardsthe use of such technology becomes essential. A mixed-methods approach,including questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, was used to gatherdata and provide a detailed understanding of the perceived benefits andchallenges associated with these devices. Findings suggest that older adultsperceive smart vacuum cleaners as beneficial in reducing cleaning assistancedependence and enhancing life quality. Concerns centred around affordabilityand fear for social isolation. Care workers saw potential for time-saving,leading to improved care. Despite some reservations, both groups recognizedthe potential benefits of smart vacuum cleaners. The study suggests the needfor larger, longitudinal studies to further explore these perspectives anddetermine the potential of smart vacuum cleaners in supporting ageing inplace.

Health management’s perspective on eHealth and user adoption : Determinants for technology use

Persson, Tobias January 2022 (has links)
Digital interventions in healthcare have the potential to act as a positive approach to the demographical and social dilemmas existing in sparsely populated regions. Much emphasis lies on designing implementations that are beneficial and used to a large extent. The impact of responsible stakeholders in designing and implementing those interventions is vital to successful outcomes, but research about their perspective on the topic is lacking. The role of voluntariness in eHealth is unclear, and management’s view on determining factors that impact user adoption can contribute to the Information Systems literature. This study aimed to investigate healthcare management’s perspective regarding eHealth. A qualitative study was performed by conducting semi-structured interviews with management and decision-makers in Swedish healthcare on the regional and municipal levels. Their attitude towards the digitalization of healthcare is generally positive, and its benefits for the future are evident. Digitalizing the health sector is seen as necessary as long as equal care and high quality in healthcare can be maintained. Much work lies in increasing adherence to use eHealth solutions, and there is a desire to improve national coordination. Factors that influence adoption are generally compatible with existing technology acceptance literature, but the impact of some determinants differs. The results indicate that social influence has a more important impact in the voluntary context of eHealth than previous literature suggests. An introduction of mandatory elements in healthcare may have benefits for continuous use. Future research about the differences between voluntary and mandated contexts can give rich insight into how to view factors that affect technology adoption and adherence to eHealth solutions.

Acceptans och Användning av ChatGPT inom Akademisk Utbildning : En kvantitativ studie / Acceptance and Use of ChatGPT within Academic Education : A Quantitative Study Based on the UTAUT Model

Creutz, Annica, Fridholm Lilja, Holger January 2023 (has links)
Det nya verktyget ChatGPT riskerar att kollidera med akademisk integritet och förändra traditionella utbildningsformer då chatboten klarar av att författa trovärdiga uppsatser på kommando. Det är därför av intresse att undersöka acceptans och användande av ChatGPT hos studenter och doktorander, för att förstå teknologins framtid inom akademisk utbildning. Huvudsyftet med denna studie var att, med utgång från UTAUT-modellen, undersöka studenters och doktoranders inställning, beteendeavsikt och användande relaterat till ChatGPT och chatbots inom akademisk utbildning. Enkäten besvarades av totalt 38 studenter (29 kvinnor, 9 män) och 29 doktorander (14 kvinnor, 14 män, 1 föredrog att ej uppge) i ålder mellan 18-45+. Resultatet visade låg användarfrekvens, liten vana och låg beteendeavsikt att använda ChatGPT eller chatbots. Påverkande faktorer för avsikt att använda var främst förväntad nytta av ChatGPT. Påverkande faktorer för amvändarbeteende var främst beteendeavsikt samt erfarenhet. Både farhågor (ex. plagiering, sämre kritisk och kreativ tänkande) och positiva aspekter (ex. inspiration, förbättrat skrivande) av potentiell användning lyftes. Många doktorander ansåg att ChatGPT idag inte uppfyller kraven för studier på högre nivå. Dock förutspådde flertalet att ChatGPT kommer finnas med som en oundviklig del i samhällets digitalisering samt att chatbotar kommer att utvecklas, bli mer användbara och därför ta större plats i akademisk utbildning i framtiden. Det är viktigt att universitetet följer utvecklingen av Chat GPT-användande för att kunna anpassa sätt att lära ut såväl som existerande regelverk gällande fusk. / The new tool ChatGPT risks colliding with academic integrity and changing traditional forms of education because the chatbot can write credible essays on command. Therefore, examining the acceptance and use of ChatGPT among undergraduates and graduate students is of great interest in order to understand the future of technology in academic education. The main purpose of this study was to investigate, based on the UTAUT model, students' and doctoral students' attitude, behavioral intention and use related to ChatGPT and chatbots in academic education.The questionnaire was answered by a total of 38 students (29 women, 9 men) and 29 PhD students (14 women, 14 men, 1 preferred not to state) aged between 18-45+. The results showed low frequency of use, little habit and low behavioral intention to use the technology. Factors influencing intention to use were mainly expected benefits of ChatGPT. Influencing factors for Use Behavior were mainly behavioral intention and experience. Both concerns (eg, plagiarism, poorer critical and creative thinking) and positive aspects (eg, inspiration, improved writing) of potential use were addressed. Many PhD students felt that ChatGPT today does not meet the requirements for higher studies. However, the majority predicted that ChatGPT will become an inevitable part of society's digitization and that chatbots will evolve, become more useful and therefore take a greater place in academic education in the future. It is important that universities are aware of ChatGPT usage in order to adapt ways of learning as well as existing regulations regarding cheating.

Navigering genom okända operativsystem : En studie av användares mentala modeller och teknikacceptans / Navigating through unfamiliar operating systems : A study of users' mental models and technology acceptance

Davidsson, Axel January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund och syfte: Antalet tekniska system som människor använder i vardagen ökar ständigt. När en användare byter från ett tekniskt system till ett annat som hen inte är bekant med, kan det uppstå problem eller i vissa fall gå smidigare än förväntat. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur väl användares mentala modell av ett operativsystem kan appliceras på ett annat, för användaren outforskat, operativsystem. Studien undersöker också huruvida användarens acceptans av ny teknik är associerad med dennes prestationer i det nya operativsystemet. Metod: Studien baseras på ett experiment där åtta testdeltagare med erfarenhet av Microsoft Windows genomför vardagliga uppgifter i Apple MacOS och vice versa. Gruppernas förmåga att anpassa sina mentala modeller mäts med hjälp av prestationsmått som vanligtvis används inom interaktionsdesign, såsom tidtagning och antalet steg som krävs för att genomföra varje uppgift. En enkät används därefter för att mäta deltagarnas acceptans av ny teknik med hjälp av TAM (Technology Acceptance Model). Resultat: Resultaten visade en signifikant skillnad mellan grupperna när det gällde prestationsmåtten. MacOS-användare hade kortare tid och färre steg för att genomföra uppgifterna jämfört med Windows-användare. Studien fann även en signifikant negativ korrelation mellan acceptans av ny teknik och tid som krävdes för att genomföra uppgifterna. Ingen signifikant korrelation fanns mellan acceptans av ny teknik och antalet steg att genomföra uppgifter. Slutsatser: MacOS-användares mentala modell är mer överförbar till Windows, än vad Windows-användarnas mentala modell är till MacOS. MacOS-användares mentala modell passar tillräckligt bra för att kunna appliceras på Windows för att genomföra vardagliga uppgifter utan större problem. Windows-användarnas mentala modell är så pass annorlunda att en ny mental modell skapas när de ger sig på MacOS, vilket leder till längre tid och fler steg att genomföra uppgifter. Studien fann också att användare med en hög acceptans av ny teknik presterade bättre, i form av lägre tid, när de använde ett outforskat operativsystem. Detta kan dock tolkas på två sätt, att användare som snabbt kunde genomföra uppgifter i större utsträckning uppskattade det, vilket ledde till en högre acceptans av ny teknik. Alternativt att deltagare som generellt var öppna till ny teknik därför presterade bättre. Däremot upptäcktes ingen stark koppling mellan acceptans av ny teknik och antalet steg som krävdes för att slutföra uppgiften. Detta gör att det inte går kan dra några definitiva slutsatser om kopplingen mellan acceptans av ny teknik och övergripande prestation, då endast en del av prestationen (tid, men inte antalet steg) visade signifikanta resultat.

An Investigation Of Boaters' Attitudes Toward And Usage Of Targeted Mobile Apps

Bowerman, Kamra 01 January 2013 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to understand boaters’ adoption and usage of smartphones and mobile apps as well as to obtain their opinion on potential features of a targeted mobile app being developed as part of a broader interdisciplinary Florida Sea Grant outreach project. Data were gathered from an online survey of a sample of 164 boaters from the surrounding Central Florida area. In contrast with previous empirical mobile app studies, many respondents reported using mobile apps for information-seeking versus escape gratifications. Further more than half of the respondents’ age sixty-five and over indicated using smartphones and mobile apps. These findings reflected recent national trend data showing shifting gratifications and an increase in technology use among older American adults. In regards to the planned mobile app, the study’s respondents had favorable reactions to its potential features and indicated an above average intent toward downloading the app

High School Teaching and Learning Experiences Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Ayega, Douglas 08 1900 (has links)
This phenomenological study explored and described the lived experiences of high school biology teachers from a school district in one of the states in the USA concerning the use of online platforms in online biology teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study interviewed teachers to evaluate the teacher experiences, challenges, and opportunities that online platforms presented in biology instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also analyzed students' perspectives based on the teachers' responses and district data obtained from the student engagement survey administered to all high school students at the school district every year. The findings of the study indicate that students experienced issues such as lack of engagement, unsuitable home environment to support learning, and poor attendance due to minimal monitoring when learning shifted to fully online. Teacher-related factors included inadequate preparedness to use technology to enhance teaching, limited content delivery, and increased teacher collaboration. In conclusion, the study recommends that school districts sufficiently prepare teachers to improve adaptability to different teaching and learning models, emphasizing the use of diverse educational technologies. Future studies should conduct quantitative or mixed studies to establish the extent and degree to which such factors as poor learner engagement contributed to less than satisfactory outcomes in summative and formative assessments.
