The Next Generation of AI: New Research Talents for a Changing Society

Artificial intelligence is transforming society. The question is how, and on whose terms. Meet four PhD researchers from Kristiania University of Applied Sciences who bring fresh perspectives to some of today’s most pressing challenges: climate communication, healthcare, inclusion, and human-centred innovation. In this fast-paced session, each researcher will present their ongoing doctoral work, followed by short responses from industry and innovation actors who will reflect on the relevance, potential and real-world implications of the research. The session offers a glimpse into the next generation of AI-driven research, and highlights how AI is not only about algorithms and technology, but also about people, communication, health, accessibility, innovation and sustainable futures.
