On receiving the award, Ziqi said: “Receiving the RISF award is a tremendous honour and an opportunity to further my research on AI, privacy, and sustainability. I'm grateful for the support from the community."
Susanne's project is titled: "Practice What You Preach: The Relationship Between AI Narratives and Actions in S&P 500 Companies".
In response to the award, Susanne said: "I am extremely grateful to have received the RISF funding. This grant enables me to conduct a research project on the organizational narratives and application of AI, which we hope will prove beneficial to both academia and society as a whole."
Congratulations to Ziqi and Susanne.
