Description of the research project

We are offering a private-law doctoral contract for a research project on the adoption of technologies and artificial intelligence.

This research project may focus on the following thesis subjects:

Subject 1: "AI adoption, implementation, and use for healthcare in France"
The primary challenge this doctoral project aims to address is the effective and responsible integration of AI into healthcare organizations in France (and the EU), particularly in areas related to diagnostics, data governance, and operational efficiency. While AI technologies have demonstrated significant potential to transform healthcare, their practical adoption, implementation and use is hindered by several complex and interconnected issues that span technical, regulatory, ethical, and operational domains.
One of the main barriers to the widespread adoption of AI in healthcare is the fragmentation of healthcare data and the lack of a comprehensive data governance framework. AI systems depend on high-quality, structured data to function effectively. However, healthcare data is often siloed across different organizations, making it difficult to compile the comprehensive datasets necessary for AI to generate reliable insights. Moreover, concerns about patient privacy and compliance with regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) complicate efforts to share and integrate data across healthcare systems. This research seeks to address these challenges by exploring how AI-driven systems can operate within a robust data governance framework that prioritizes both data accessibility and patient privacy.
Another critical challenge is the integration of AI into diagnostic processes. While AI diagnostic tools have shown significant promise in clinical trials, they have yet to be fully embraced by healthcare professionals in everyday practice. There is a clear need to build trust in these systems by improving their transparency, explainability, and reliability. Healthcare professionals need to feel confident that AI tools are not only accurate but also understandable and accountable. Without addressing these concerns, the potential of AI to enhance diagnostics and improve patient outcomes will remain underutilized.
From an operational perspective, AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare management by optimizing resource allocation, improving supply chain efficiency and performance, and predicting maintenance needs for medical equipment. However, many healthcare organizations, particularly in resource-constrained settings, struggle to implement these AI-driven solutions due to high initial costs, infrastructure limitations, regulatory hurdles and a lack of technical expertise. This research will explore how AI tools can be integrated into healthcare operations in a way that is both feasible and scalable, ensuring that even smaller healthcare providers can benefit from these technologies.
Finally, at the ethical level, the rapid development of AI technologies has outpaced the establishment of clear governance and ethical frameworks. This creates uncertainty about the legal and ethical implications of using AI in healthcare, particularly when it comes to patient data and AI-driven decision-making processes. This research will address these concerns by developing and validating ethical guidelines and governance models that ensure the responsible use of AI in healthcare in France and beyond.
Overall, this project aims to contribute to the development of healthcare AI driven systems that are more efficient, innovative, and capable of delivering high-quality care through the responsible use of AI technologies in real world settings.

Subject 2: "Digital and Market Economy"
This research project aims to study how technological and social innovations reduce transaction costs and facilitate the integration of marginalized and/or excluded populations into the market economy. The goal is to identify innovations that promote sustainable economic inclusion and analyze the role of digital tools in democratizing consumption, entrepreneurship, and the creation of new opportunities.
This research project will also explore the impact of non-price factors—such as emotion, gift-giving, smell, music, and religion—on purchasing behavior, entrepreneurship, and business strategy.
The impact of this research could be:
• Social: inclusion of populations marginalized by digital platforms and crowdfunding.
• Environmental: reduction of waste through the circulation of unused and underutilized assets (carpooling, tool sharing) thanks to the platform economy.
• Economic: opportunities for flexible work and additional income thanks to the platform economy.
The doctoral student will use the following methodologies:
• A primarily qualitative and deductive approach.
• Analysis of market dynamics through case studies and literature reviews.
• Experimentation with online interactions.
• Use of existing quantitative and qualitative data available online to enrich the analysis.

Additional activities

The doctoral student will also be involved in additional activities, such as teaching, within BSB, which will not exceed 1/6th of the working time, in accordance with the legal provisions in force for private-law doctoral contracts and may have a research budget.
