SUMMARY:Opphavsrett for journalister – Hva du må vite om bruk og deling av innhold?
DESCRIPTION:Hva kan du bruke fritt\, og hva krever tillatelse? Hva gjelder for lenking\, embedding og bruk av innhold fra sosiale medier? Hvordan påvirker kunstig intelligens opphavsretten? \nBli med på en hands-on workshop med advokat Jon Wessel-Aas\, en av Norges fremste eksperter på medierett. Her får du konkrete svar på de viktigste spørsmålene om opphavsrett – skreddersydd for journalister.

SUMMARY:AI anno 2030: In the Public Interest?
DESCRIPTION:UiB AI is collaborating with NORA on a CuttingEdgeAI seminar in the University Aula in Bergen. The idea behind the seminar is to bring together some of the foremost AI researchers in Norway to discuss where we stand in terms of research\, which areas Norway has the opportunity to make its mark on and what might happen on the AI front in the future. Where will the research front be in different branches of artificial intelligence in five years’ time? And does AI represent the public interest\, for example when it comes to democracy\, labour\, welfare\, the environment and culture? The seminar is mostly in Norwegian. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe seminar will be streamed\, and the recording will be available through a link. \nProgram:\n09:00 Arrival and light refreshments09:30 Welcome by Pro-Rector Pinar Heggernes\, Pro-Rector at UiB and Chair of the UiB AI Steering Group \nPart 1: Where is the research front in various branches of artificial intelligence headed?\n09:40 AI research in Norway in 2025: Anne Kjersti Fahlvik\, Director of Innovation in Business and the Public Sector\, Research Council of Norway \n10:00 Arnoldo Frigessi\, Professor and Director of the Center of Excellence (SFF) Integreat\, UiO10:15 Jill Walker Rettberg\, Professor and Deputy Director of the Center of Excellence for Digital Narratives\, UiB \n10:30 Coffee break \n11:00 Robert Jenssen\, Professor and Director of the Center for Research-based Innovation (SFI) Visual Intelligence\, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway11:15 Panel discussion with Anne Kjersti\, Arnoldo\, Jill\, and Robert\, moderated by Pinar Heggernes\, Pro-Rector\, UiB \n11:45 Lunch \nPart 2: Where does Norway have particular strengths in AI research?\n12:30 AI at NAV – What are we doing\, and what are we wondering about?Jon Vegard Sparre\, AI Lead at NAV \n12:45 Heri Ramampiaro\, Professor and Head of the Department of Computer Science\, NTNU13:00 Marija Slavkovik\, Professor and Head of the Department of Information Science and Media Studies\, UiB \n13:15 Coffee break \n13:45 AI and regulation: From Norwegian marketing to research qualityMalcolm Langford\, Professor at the Department of Public and International Law\, UiO \n14:00 Panel discussion with Jon Vegard\, Heri\, Marija\, and Malcolm\, moderated by Klas Pettersen\, CEO of NORA \n14:30 Food and networking15:00 Farewell \nModerator for the day: Dag Stenvoll\, Coordinator for UiB AI

SUMMARY:The Language of Coordination: From Humans to AI Agents
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome Luca Maria Aiello\, Associate Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen\, to the MediaFutures seminar series. \nAs global challenges like climate change\, pandemics\, and mass migration become increasingly urgent\, the need for mass coordination has never been greater. In his presentation\, “The Language of Coordination: From Humans to AI Agents\,” Professor Aiello will delve into the fascinating intersection of social science\, language\, and technology\, exploring how natural language can drive large-scale coordination in the public sphere. Drawing on his cutting-edge research\, he will demonstrate how insights from psychology and linguistics can be harnessed to understand and predict collective behavior\, and how these insights can be applied to artificial intelligence to create persuasive social agents capable of influencing public discourse on social media platforms. \nAbstract:\nA defining task for humankind is to achieve mass coordination to tackle global challenges such as climate change\, pandemics\, and mass migrations. Social science research has identified psycho-linguistic aspects of social interactions that can trigger spontaneous coordination when used strategically in the public debate. We created Natural Language Processing tools that can capture these social dimensions from conversations\, and found that they can explain and predict outcome of consensus and coordination. Furthermore\, we show that these dimensions can be used to prompt AI agents powered by Large Language Models to make them behave as persuasive social agents that could be seamlessly integrated in the public discourse of social media platforms. \nProfessor Aiello’s work is at the forefront of an emerging field that combines computational social science\, network science\, and artificial intelligence. By analyzing vast amounts of digital data\, he seeks to quantify human well-being and build systems that can improve it—whether in the context of health\, urban living\, or digital interactions. In his talk\, he will explore the psycho-linguistic aspects of human interaction and how they can be translated into actionable insights for both human and AI-driven coordination. \nProfessor Aiello will be visiting Bergen and the MediaFutures research center from March 19th to 22nd\, with his presentation scheduled for Friday\, March 21st. We encourage you to join us for this insightful seminar\, either in person or via the Zoom livestream. \n\nAbout Luca Maria Aiello \nLuca Maria Aiello is an Associate Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen\, Denmark\, where he conducts interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computational social science\, digital health\, network science\, and urban informatics. His work leverages large-scale digital data to explore and quantify key aspects of human life\, with a particular focus on how language and communication shape our collective behaviors and well-being. \nHis research interests span multiple fields\, including the role of language in coordinating social actions\, the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to study social dynamics\, and the development of AI systems that can influence and improve social interactions. Through his research\, Professor Aiello aims to better understand how people interact\, how these interactions can be optimized to address pressing global issues\, and how AI can be used to augment\, rather than replace\, human communication. \nA recognized leader in his field\, Professor Aiello has contributed to numerous influential studies on the role of language in social media and digital interactions. One of his notable contributions includes a study published in Nature on the language of persuasion in social media\, which explores how certain linguistic features can be used to influence public opinion and behavior. \nCurrently\, his research focuses on using NLP techniques to quantify social and psychological experiences\, with applications ranging from improving public health to enhancing urban living environments. Through his work\, Professor Aiello continues to push the boundaries of what is possible at the intersection of social science and technology.
