There’s an interview with me about our department on the university website. So in the photo I don’t tilt my head, I tilt my body. I wonder what that body language means.

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 […]

I think it’s lovely. And it throws your opponent off center. Very strategic.

The article’s great. The picture’s gorgeous and the interviewee comes over as completely is gorgeous. Just thought you’d like a completely objective evaluation.

Nice interview, Jill. In case you didn’t know it; I think you ARE the humanistic
informatics department!! So needless to say, you should be the head of our
department, and young is GREAT.

Gee, you are going to give stuffy academics a bad name if you keep pulling moves like this! What are you thinking in this picture? You actually come across quite cheeky and funny but in a serious kind of way! Perfect. Now what is the interview about?

Got to say, you’re a cute one! Having a prof that’s easy on the eyes is a distinct advantage. I’m sure you’re a good teacher too, but I can’t read Norwegian, so I’ll just have to settle for the eye candy.

It’s an Ann Taylor sweather -beautiful!
You look mischievous:-)

Elin, I think I bought that sweater with you! Remember, I eyed it, then decided I couldn’t do the folded down neck thing, then we saw someone else wearing it and agreed that yes, sure, that would work. And we went back and I bought it 🙂
The rest of you are crazy and yes, flattery will get you everywhere!

It is a good picture. I have no idea what this means, but it’s so not how I pictured you! I imagined you much more stern and forbidding looking. Don’t ask me why. (Probably b/c you’ve been blogging so much longer than I have, and you write about blogs, so you are Authoritative and Informaed and Established and all those kinds of things, and therefore must look that way!)

Cool! Great portrait. Moving over to the Babelfish URL to find a translation option …
Jill
New Kid, that’s hilarious that you thought I’d look sterner. I feel so utterly un-stern! Maybe I should revert to my old blog design – it used to be the way my publications page still is. Hardly stern. Nah, I got sick of seeing my head up big like that all the time…
And I have to admit, if I ever met you, New Kid, or Profgrrrl or BitchPhD at a conference I’d be so nervous I probably wouldn’t dare talk to you. Of course I wouldn’t KNOW I’d met you, you tricky things. And there you’d all be giggling together in a corner and going quiet with wicked grins on your collaboratively anonymous faces every time I walked past.
