We are delighted to announce that three initiatives affiliated with our department are among the 19 selected initiatives across the country that have advanced to the final round in the competition to become national research centers for artificial intelligence. “This is great news,” says Andreas Opdahl, head of one of the initiatives.
”Since so much of AI research is driven by commercial forces, societal impact often becomes an afterthought, rather than something that has to be studied on a fundamental level”
The success of DeepSeek shows an interesting example where funding is the means to research and innovation and not directly the end goal.
Professor Andreas Opdahl, one of Norway's leading experts in artificial intelligence (AI), is spearheading an ambitious initiative: Insight, a research center focused on AI in local democratic ecosystems. With a clear objective to develop technology that enhances local democracy, researchers and industry partners are now seeking funding from the Research Council of Norway.
