In 2022, Dr. Andhov was awarded a grant from Inge Lehmann's Research Talent Program for her PROFIT Project. The Project takes on analyzing and re-designing the corporate governance of Big Tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Apple. Big Techs are among the most powerful agents in the world today, which use our data and utilize #AI to design products that predict our behaviour and push us toward their desired goals. This project aims to design improved corporate governance for Big Tech.

The project is to run from 2023-2025.
