Susanne Klausing is a PhD Candidate of the Information Systems and Innovation Faculty Group, in the Department of Management at LSE.
In her dissertation, Susanne studies how the notion of data sharing is changing in the AI era. She employs a multi-method approach in which insights generated from econometric and computational methods and qualitative field studies mutually inform each other. Within her three papers, Susanne investigates (1) how organizations respond to data sharing restrictions imposed through privacy regulation, (2) how past and present approaches to data sharing emerge in response to regulatory shifts and (3) the governance and accountability mechanisms generated when forms of AI are used for scaling data across institutional actors.
Susanne holds a MSc in Social Science of the Internet from the University of Oxford, an Honours Degree in Technology Management from the Centre for Digital Technology and Management (LMU & TU Munich) and a BSc in Business Administration from LMU Munich. She gathered research experience at the Oxford Internet Institute, Columbia University and the Berkman Klein Centre for Internet and Society at Harvard University.
