How do we, as a technical university, shape and engage the societal narratives about technology? Core question for an observatory for human-centered engineering. Another take away from our launch. Peter Vesborg warns against simplifications that prevents us from appreciating necessary tradeoffs.
What is our room for maneuver when we develop technology? Do we have agency? First key take away from our launch event yesterday with @adler-nissen.bsky.social from the National Center for AI in Society (CAISA). Thanks to everyone who came by and made the day very special 🙏 Stay tuned for more 📻
Monthly highlight: the @echodtu.bsky.social #digitalmethods talk walk. 3 papers, 90 mins, 6km with snacks from somewhere to DTU. Today mixing the latest in LLMs with some good old folk culture at the open air branch of @nationalmuseet.dk

Han forsker i misinformation og siger om DR-dokumentaren: »Det her er noget, der kan have konsekvenser«
DR-dokumentar om Grønlands undergrund har fået massiv kritik for at bruge et misvisende milliardtal. Netop det tal kan blive en farlig bombe i den grønlandske valgkamp, lyder det fra professor.
