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 🙏

Stay tuned for more 📻

⚡ 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:

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."

Glæder mig til at præsentere vores nye projekt om Culturally Explainable AI på #FMDK #FM25 Forskningscenen til juni.

Derfor er jeg på #Folkemødet og frisk på at debatere eller moderere hvis det handler om teknologi, samfund og demokrati, særligt kunstig intelligens. Ræk ud hvis du mangler.

Jeg udtaler mig om kryolit-dokumentaren i JP: jyllands-posten.dk/indland/ECE1...
Han forsker i misinformation og siger om DR-dokumentaren: »Det her er noget, der kan have konsekvenser«
DR-dokumentar om Grønlands undergrund har fået massiv kritik for at bruge et misvisende milliardtal. Netop det tal kan blive en farlig bombe i den grønlandske valgkamp, lyder det fra professor.

Today: for the first time exhibiting 3/4 of our large scale #datavisualisation about #algorithms at Ballerup library.

(Almost) 100 square metres of vinyl flooring showing 2 million scientific articles about AI.

@akmunk.bsky.social giving a talk & introducing the map to the audience.
Ca 50 people standing in a circle on a vinyl floor that shows a large scale data visualisation. The people are standing around the edges of the vinyl carpet and look at the person presenting the map in the Center of the circle. People standing scattered around a room looking on the floor. On the floor there is a large scale data visualisation showing a „map“ of scientific articles about algorithms and AI. In the foreground there is a large scale data visualisation printed on a vinyl carpet. In the background there are 80 chairs with people sitting on them, looking at a stage and a screen where a presenter is giving a talk.
