Biography
Dr Frauke Behrendt is Associate Professor in Transitions to Sustainable Mobility at the Technology, Innovation and Society Group at TU/e. Her expertise is on smart and sustainable mobility as well as digital/data culture and society.

Behrendt’s research is located at the intersection of three key themes: Mobility, Sustainability and Digitalization. It engages at the local, national and international scale, investigates a range of modes, explores the past, present and future – and considers the user experience, the design and industry perspective, and the policy landscape – of how we can move towards radically more sustainable mobilities.

Abstract
This presentation focusses on the role of AI in governance and decision making with regards to sustainable futures, using Mobility as a Service (MaaS) as case study. It combines field work and a narrative literature review. The presentation contributes a novel approach towards understanding the role of AI in governance processes, and implications for social and environmental sustainability.
