How do we, as a technical university, shape and engage the societal narratives about technology? Core question for an observatory for human-centered engineering.

Another take away from our launch. Peter Vesborg warns against simplifications that prevents us from appreciating necessary tradeoffs.
What is our room for maneuver when we develop technology? Do we have agency? First key take away from our launch event yesterday with @adler-nissen.bsky.social from the National Center for AI in Society (CAISA).

Thanks to everyone who came by and made the day very special πŸ™

Stay tuned for more πŸ“»

Thanks Tanja. Tagged or not, @bigdatasoc.bsky.social perhaps you could revise your post to list authors correctly?

Monthly highlight: the @echodtu.bsky.social #digitalmethods talk walk. 3 papers, 90 mins, 6km with snacks from somewhere to DTU. Today mixing the latest in LLMs with some good old folk culture at the open air branch of @nationalmuseet.dk
⚑ ENERGY ISLANDS ⚑ - who says what? Tougher question than you might think when the object is a complex sociotechnical controversy. Perhaps the perfect crash course in problem wickedness. We built a teaching ressource for students (and their teachers) who want to give it a go:

Is the pandemic now? What will disease control look like? Can there be a vaccine? Who will monitor the side effects? And what about herd immunity... So many metaphorical questions to play with. Congrats @adler-nissen.bsky.social @stinelomborg.bsky.social @sunelehmann.com @serge.belongie.com et al!

#ConclaveMemes - there is still hope for the internet!

"Pencil No. 2: yes or no? Always yes" Absolutely brilliant.

80 years tonight since the surrender of German troops in Denmark; #POTUS celebrates by reiterating his military threat to the kingdom.

"You are not ruling out military force to take Greenland one day?"

"No, not there. We need Greenland very badly."
