We had an extremely Icelandic AI Run this week. We took off from Reykjavik University in decent spring weather (a bit windy, but hats off and sunglasses on) but had to brave some crazy wind and heavy rain on our way back! Refreshing lunchtime for sure 💨

We also had some great conversations with new friends joining and all sorts of new collaborations now in the works 👏

Will spring be here for real for our May run? Do you dare join and find out??

Step away from the computer for a bit and join us for a nice lunchtime stroll or jog - whatever your preferred pace - and some great conversations about AI and digital transformation.

See you at Sólin at Reykjavik University tomorrow at 11:15!

Last week we collaborated with Reykjavik University’s Open University and CADIA - Center for Analysis and Design of Intelligent Agents for the conference AI & Society: You, Data, and Sovereign Decision-Making 🙌

The main topic of the conference (as the name suggest) was how AI is already shaping our society, with talks and panels touching for example on autonomy at both the individual and societal level, why data sovereignty matters more than ever and how AI is affecting our day to day lives and the way our brains work.

We at EDIH-IS used the opportunity to introduce our newly established Women in AI working group which will be kicking of some exciting activities in the coming weeks. We encourage all those who are interested in getting involved to join our mailing list.

We would like to thank our conference partners and all participants - speakers and attendees - for a great day and we look forward to keeping the conversation going around responsible and inclusive AI development.

Equality Days are here and tomorrow is the day for our event Possibilities for Women in AI! We are lucky to have Anna Liebel from Reykjavik University moderating the event. She brings a thoughtful, societal perspective on AI and the responsibility that comes with developing and deploying these technologies, or as Anna herself puts it:

💬 “AI can magnify modern societal issues or help us solve them. We decide what we do with this tool.”

Join us at Hannesarholt tomorrow for a panel discussion and interactive workshop where we’ll explore the value women bring to AI development and the possibilities the technology can open up for equality, women’s health, and more.

🚀 This session’s aim is to further define the strategy of the Women in AI working group and recruit new members. Everyone is welcome to join us and, together, shape the future of AI.

📅 February 10 | 17:00–19:00

🎧 Nýr þáttur af Auðvarpinu er kominn í loftið!

Í þessum þætti ræðir Sverrir Geirdal við Sigurð Árnason hjá Overtune um skapandi greinar og hvaða áhrif gervigreindin hefur á þær.

Í þættinum er farið yfir hvernig gervigreindin er að umbreyta skapandi vinnu, hvaða áskoranir og tækifæri fylgja tækninni og hvað þetta þýðir fyrir skapandi greinar til framtíðar.

🎙️ Þátturinn er í boði Auðnu tæknitorgs, EDIH-IS, Vísindagarða Háskóla Íslands og IHPC.

Meðfylgjandi er hlekkur á Spotify, en hlaðvarpið er einnig að finna á Apple podcasts appinu.
