"What changes do technologies bring to the way we behave as individuals and as a society that might backfire their potential gains?" Key takeaway from our launch by Daniela Pigosso, pointing to the fact that human-centered engineering has to think and act beyond adoption and acceptance.

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

⚡ ENERGY ISLANDS ⚡ - who says what? Tougher question than you might think when the object is a complex sociotechnical controversy. Perhaps the perfect crash course in problem wickedness. We built a teaching ressource for students (and their teachers) who want to give it a go: lnkd.in/dWuYjPPC

Glæder mig til at præsentere vores nye projekt om Culturally Explainable AI på #FMDK #FM25 Forskningscenen til juni. Derfor er jeg på #Folkemødet og frisk på at debatere eller moderere hvis det handler om teknologi, samfund og demokrati, særligt kunstig intelligens. Ræk ud hvis du mangler. #dkpol
