Bildmuseet unveils a new site-specific iteration of Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg’s sound and light installation Machine Auguries, this time set in Umeå in northern Sweden. Premiere on 12 January! Presented alongside the previous iterations from London and Toledo, these three artificial dawn choruses from different parts of the world invite us to reflect on our relationship with nature.
When heavy machinery is to become robots with autonomous capabilities, safety is at highest priority. In a new EU project, researchers and industry collaborate to develop reliable and efficient AI-driven machines that minimize the risk of harming people or the environment.
With AI-generated birdsong under an artificial dawn sky, Machine Auguries warns of our infatuation with technology at the expense of nature. In Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg’s immersive sound and light installation, which opens at Bildmuseet on 18 October, the dawn chorus is slowly taken over by synthetic birdsong.
A report by the UN Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence shows that unregulated AI development poses risks at societal and ethical levels, as well as in terms of global governance. Something that requires urgent action. The advisory board includes Umeå University researcher and AI expert Virginia Dignum.
Police officers will be able to use AI and new mixed-reality technology to test and develop ways to improve situational awareness in critical situations such as gang violence and shootings. "Our responsible AI research will be directly useful for police officers in the field," says Juan Carlos Nieves Sanchez, Associate Professor and Research Leader in Computing Science at Umeå University.
Researchers have made significant progress in understanding how artificial intelligence (AI) impacts our daily lives and the society we live in today, but the assumptions made in research must be regularly questioned. This will be discussed by experts during the international conference "AI for Humanity and Society 2023." The event is open to the public and will take place in Malmö between Novembe
Scandinavian media giant Bonnier Corp. was among the first in the world to design a digital magazine specifically for the iPad. Two IT researchers at Umeå University followed the company's research and development division during the creation of the successful publishing platform Mag+. The findings were recently published by the prestigious Harvard Business School.
