Exploring the Human-Machine Connection

The Centre for the Sociology of Humans and Machines (SOHAM) is a joint research centre at Trinity College Dublin and TU Dublin, dedicated to understanding how AI and automation are reshaping society. Through interdisciplinary research, international collaboration, and public engagement, we investigate the social, ethical, and technological dimensions of human-machine interactions.

TCD Public Autumn Series: A New Sociology of Humans and Machines

What if machines weren`t just tools, but part of society itself? As AI systems grow more sophisticated, they`re no longer just answering our questions or speeding up tasks- they`re shaping how we think, cooperate, and make decisions. Sociologist Professor Taha Yasseri invites us to rethink the relationship between people and machines. Could we be entering an era where the social isn`t just human anymore?
