National investment in artificial intelligence

Leave a reply

RCN invites to input meetings on investment in artificial intelligence, 5, 6 and 7 November.

We are also invited to provide written input by 8 November.

https://www.forskningsradet.no/forskningspolitikk-strategi/ltp/kunstig-intelligens/

The research initiative has three main tracks

  1. Research on the consequences of artificial intelligence and other digital technology for society. Central topics will be democracy, trust, ethics, economics, rule of law, legal regulations, privacy, teaching and learning, art and culture.
  2. Digital technologies as a research area in themselves, i.e. research on artificial intelligence, digital security, next-generation ICT, new sensors and quantum technology.
  3. Research on how digital technologies can be used for innovation in industry and the public sector and how artificial intelligence can be used in research in many different disciplines.

We hope the academic communities will participate in the input meetings.
