Leverhulme Interdisciplinary Network on Algorithmic Solutions (LINAS)

Description

The Leverhulme Interdisciplinary Network on Algorithmic Solutions (LINAS) is a doctoral training programme at Queen's University Belfast that develops a cohort of doctoral scholars addressing the implications of massive-scale data processing, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) for algorithmically driven public decision-making and for scientific practice. The programme examines what it terms 'enigmatic technologies,'  rapidly evolving data approaches where authority is concealed behind algorithms. Within the social sciences, the programme investigates challenges to human agency, politics, human rights law, and principles of transparency and accountability. Within science and engineering, it addresses challenges to transparent working and reproducibility. LINAS brings together legal scholars, social scientists, physical scientists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers to work across disciplinary boundaries, with the ambition of developing integrated, effective, scientifically rigorous, and socially responsible algorithmic solutions.
