SUMMARY:Boosting User Trust to Increase the Uptake of Recommendations
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome Professor Shlomo Berkovsky to MediaFutures for a special guest talk on June 6! Professor Berkovsky leads the Clinical AI and Sensing Technologies research stream at the Centre for Health Informatics\, Macquarie University. His work explores the intersection of AI\, health\, and media technologies\, including research on food recommender systems and user trust in recommendation interfaces. \nAbstract of the talk: \nThe level of trust a user places in a recommender is crucial to the success of recommendations. Although prior work established factors that build and sustain user trust\, their comparative power and impact on the uptake of recommendations received less attention. We conducted a user study examining the impact of various recommendation interfaces and content selection strategies on user trust. Following this\, we conducted another study that evaluated the impact of including proponents (people or avatars) in the recommendation interface. We will discuss these results and implications on use and misuse in future recommendation interfaces. \nAbout the Speaker: \nShlomo Berkovsky is the leader of the Interactive Medical AI research stream at Macquarie University. The stream focuses on the use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methods to develop usable patient models and personalised predictions of diagnosis and care. The stream also studies how clinicians and patients interact with health technologies and how Large Language Models can improve patient care. His other areas of expertise include user modelling\, online personalisation\, and behaviour change technologies. \nWe’ll meet you at 12:25 in the atrium of Media City Bergen and take you up to the MediaFutures office on the 3rd floor together. \nFood will be served! \nIf you cannot join in person\, you can follow the presentation on zoom by clicking here: https://uib.zoom.us/j/65067583768?pwd=tJ39Ta5UIRjZsuwYtbVbULafFOAbUV.1

SUMMARY:fAIrgov-sluttkonferanse
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is often described as the electricity of our time\, and its development is accelerating. But what does this mean for the public sector\, and what is needed to maintain public trust?\n\nPublic Fairness Perceptions of Algorithmic Governance (fAIrgov) is a research project at NORCE that\, since 2018\, has been exploring Norwegian attitudes toward the use of AI in the public sector. They now invite you to their final conference: a morning of reflections\, insights\, and discussion\, featuring contributions from both researchers and public sector representatives. \nBoth academic and administrative staff at the Department of Information Science and Media Studies are welcome to attend the conference! \n Registration form(Limited number of seats!) \nDetails of the fAIrgov Final Conference:\n\nDate: June 12\nTime: 09:00–12:00\nVenue: Lillesalen\, Kulturhuset i Bergen\, Vaskerelven 8\, 5014 Bergen\nAfterwards: Lunch and informal research meetups from 12:00–14:00\n\nPreliminary Program:\n\n09:00–09:30 – Doors open\, coffee and mingling\n09:30–09:45 – Opening remarks by Camilla Stoltenberg\n09:45–10:05 – Case: AI in the Norwegian Tax Administration\, by Nina Serdarevic\n10:05–10:25 – Case: AI in NAV (Labour and Welfare Administration)\, by Robindra Prabhu\n10:25–10:45 – Break\n10:45–11:05 – Public support for AI\, by Mikael Poul Johannesson\, NORCE\n11:05–11:50 – Panel debate: What does it take for the Norwegian public sector to be ready for the AI revolution?– with Camilla Stoltenberg\, Annette Fagerhaug Stephansen\, Sveinung Arnesen\, Nina Serdarevic\, Robindra Prabhu\n11:50–12:00 – Closing remarks by Sveinung Arnesen\, fAIrgov project leader\n12:00–14:00 – Lunch and informal networking with researchers\n\nThe conference is free and open to everyone. It is particularly relevant for public sector employees\, researchers\, policymakers – and anyone curious about how AI might transform the public sector and affect us as citizens. \nFollow the event Is the Norwegian Public Sector Ready for the AI Revolution? on Facebook for updates and a link to the livestream if you’d like to attend digitally.
