I’m presenting my book Blogging at our university bookshop, Studia, today at 2:15 pm. If you’re in town you’re very welcome to come! I’m going to talk for 25 minutes and Studia’s serving snacks of some kind, so I think it’ll be good. (I always appreciate snacks.) Oh, it’ll be in Norwegian.

At last week’s AI STORIES workshop, Gabriele de Seta led a workshop exploring Butterflies.ai, a social media platform where all the users are AIs. Gathering a group of researchers in a room for a few hours to explore and discuss a specific genAI platform turns out to be a really […]
When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
Synthetic media is a current popular term for AI-generated videos, texts and images. I think the first use was only a few years ago in 2018, but I couldn’t find an overview of its use so thought I’d cobble one together here, mostly because I like Elena Pilipets and her […]
OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 (USD) a month for an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” – apparently some people will pay more for robots than people. At […]
This is my original Norwegian draft of an essay published in the Danish foreign policy magazine Udenrigs today as part of a special issue on AI and foreign policy. I argue that AI is influencing the way we tell stories, and more seriously, that there is a risk of this […]
In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]

Good presentation, it could have been longer though. It’s a far too interesting topic to be short about it. I guess I have to read your book, now 😉

[…] Yesterday, after the book presentation, I met two of these studetns. Kristine Ludvigsen is studying pedagogy and finishing her Master’s degree on learning in Second Life. She had lots of questions about how to think about ethics in an online environment – she had permission from all her informants, but as the interviews had taken place in Second Life, sometimes other people had turned up in the middle of an interview – or someone simply walked past in the background. Her final paper is going to be a video paper, so she was wondering whether she could use material in the video paper despite there being someone in the background of the image who had’t formally given permission? I think it depends on the situation – but it does show the trickiness of online work. Kristine has already looked at the AoIR’s ethics guidelines: I think she’d find Charles Ess’s new book Digital Media Ethics useful – I only just saw it this morning and will certainly buy a copy. Charles Ess has worked on ethics on the internet for years. […]

OMG, you’re our student advisor. We probably have the coolest student advisor in town 🙂

OK, just answered my own question. Well done on that.

Hey, Craig! Long time no see. Glad to see you found it 🙂

[…] Tidligere i v?•r presenterte Jill sin siste bok, “Blogging” p?• studia. Etterp?• ble Eva og jeg sittende ?• prate med Jill og Kristine som diskuterte hvordan det var ?• sitte alene p?• sitt institutt med sine studier p?• sosiale medier. Dette kunne jeg nikke gjenkjennende til, og fortalte Jill at jeg nok burde ha kontaktet henne i l??pet av skriveprosessen min, men at jeg oppdaget henne, og skj??nte det litt for sent. Paradoksalt nok satt jeg mye alene og skrev om sosiale medier store deler av 2008. Jeg fulgte en forskningsgruppe ved mitt eget institutt, men savnet noen utveksle ideer med noen som delte mitt engasjement for nye medier. Jill var rask med iverksettelse av ideen, blogget om den allerede dagen etter. Etter en m?•neds tid var f??rste m??te p?• plass. […]
