Presentation
When generative AI increasingly approaches or replicates human level content (images, sound, music, video), what happens to us as individuals and our societies? When we can no longer trust our senses, we need to adapt our information seeking behavior and ensure that both traditional and potentially new sources of veracity are readily available and used. In this talk, Henrik covers these topics and ends with a discussion of what this all means for the future of democracy.
Speaker
Henrik Skaug S?tra is an Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics with a broad and inter-disciplinary background and approach, mainly focusing on the political, ethical, and social implications of technology. He focuses specifically on the sustainability related impacts of AI, and he has published extensively on the relationship between technology and sustainable development and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

About the seminar series
Once a month, dScience will invite you to join us for lunch and professional talks at the Science Library. In addition to these, we will serve lunch in our lounge in Kristine Bonnevies house every Thursday. Due to limited space (40 people), this will be first come, first served. See how to find us here.
Our lounge can also be booked by PhDs and Postdocs on a regular basis, whether it is for a meeting or just to hang out – we have fresh coffee all day long!
