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.

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?
