⚡ 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:

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.

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.
