Kai-Kristian Kemell

I am a software engineering (SE) researcher with an overarching research interest in improving SE processes. Specific points of research in this regard include generative AI for SE, bringing AI ethics into practice, and SE in software startups.

In our current projects, I am working on utilizing generative AI for SE as the head of the GPT-Lab Tampere and exploring the Dark Side of AI in the EVIL-AI project. In EVIL-AI, we are studying ethical issues and risks related to AI agents in various contexts.

I am the head of GPT-Lab Tampere, handling day-to-day operational activities within the lab, especially in terms of research. As a postdoc, I focus on research and research supervision while also handling teaching-related work.
