Science communication does not have to be limited to simplified written texts in the news media.
We wanted to share our research with a broader, non-academic audience. So we organised a MediaFutures Pint of Science event at Staatsraaden Bar in Bergen.
Pint of Science is a non-profit initiative run by a grassroots community of thousands of scientists around the world. Researchers present and discuss their work in relaxed settings like local pubs, cafés, or public spaces. By collaborating with Pint of Science Bergen/Norway, we aimed to bring our research on responsible media technology in the age of AI to Bergenser (residents of Bergen) — in an accessible language and with room for open discussion.
On Thursday, 26th of June at 7 PM, our researchers Samia Touileb, Yuki Onishi, and Peter Andrews each gave a 15-minute talk on their current projects.
While Samia outlined some bias problems in large language models, Yuki showed how her team works on improving the TV studio production environment in TV2, and Peter introduced his AIModerator which gives a multimodal interactive layer to watching political debates.
