"What changes do technologies bring to the way we behave as individuals and as a society that might backfire their potential gains?"

Key takeaway from our launch by Daniela Pigosso, pointing to the fact that human-centered engineering has to think and act beyond adoption and acceptance.

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:

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.

This week part of the team ventured out to participate in the #dmi25 winter school with the title "Chatbots and LLMs for Internet Research?"

Building on our #datavisualisation and #exhibitiondesign for grounding-ai.github.io, we hosted the project "Who's my host?" exploring personas across LLMs.
