NORA

I morgen skal vi ha et arrangement som viser hvordan man kan bruke kunstig intelligens (KI) i klimaforskning og værvarsling. Dette er områder hvor Norge har særdeles gode miljøer.

I tillegg skal vi diskutere hvordan Norge nå satser på KI. Hanne Monclair kommer til å fortelle hvordan KD jobber med KI, både nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Anne Kjersti Fahlvik skal oppdatere oss på det siste rundt KI-satsingen.

Webinar: A Norwegian Center for AI?

In Norway, there is an ongoing discussion about how to best allocate the 'AI billion' for research on artificial intelligence. The Ministry of Education and Research have given The Research Council of Norway this responsibility, and an advisory commitee have given their advice.

One option is to use various tools to support AI research, following the traditional approach of calling for proposals managed by The Research Council of Norway's portfolio management. This method is well-established, offering flexibility, utilizing existing infrastructure, and enabling quick announcements of proposal calls.

On the other hand, others believe that The Research Council now have a unique opportunity for establishing a more concentrated and coordinated effort, bringing together different disciplines, stakeholders, and sectors through a distributed center solution. This could enhance coordination and create networks and meeting spaces that are challenging to establish using more conventional methods.

Since the latter solution is less common and relatively unfamiliar in Norway, we are actively seeking insights from various AI centers and networks in successful European nations to learn about their operational structures.
