This is the closest we get to a cure for obesity.

Deepseek should be a wake-up call. It's time for Norway to develop its own AI.

Artificial intelligence is too important to be left to oligarchs and party dictatorships.

We are not prepared for the most severe threats

The white paper on total preparedness national security, but we do not know what dangers threaten us or what to do about them.

AI must be democratic and cheap

Last week, the leading AI company Open AI announced that the premium version of the best Chat GPT model will go from costing $20 to $200 a month. So you have to spend 25,000 Norwegian kroner a year if you want the latest technology from Silicon Valley.

Even the government can't claim that the electric car subsidies are effective climate policy now

Effective, global climate policy is not outdated. That's the future.

What do we owe the future?

Do we have moral obligations towards people that do not yet exist? In long-term ethics, one is concerned with the future, but what does it really entail?

Dangerously fast in the wrong direction

Creating super-intelligent KI will be humanity's greatest achievement. But will it be the best or worst thing we've created?

AGI is not futurism

The fact that the problems belong to the future does not mean that we should postpone the discussion of artificial general intelligence until we are in the middle of them.
