- Måske vil AI tvinge os til at gentænke, hvad det præcis er, vi skal gøre med kunsten, hvad det er for en impuls, som kendetegner det unikke menneskelige.

A great and engaged review of Artificial Humanities by AI developer:
"What lifts the book into something genuinely energizing is its refusal to stop at diagnosis. Artificial humanities is proposed not as a critique perched safely on the sidelines but as an operating principle."
In her new book, UC Berkeley researcher Nina Beguš explores how art, history and literature provide a window into AI development, revealing a hopeful — and cautionary — path forward for humanity. https://t.co/ktch3pNov2
Leveraging her background in comparative literature and knowledge of generative AI, @BerkeleyISchool and @UCBHistory's Nina Beguš pitted hundreds of humans against generative AI platforms. Humans wrote more creative stories, but AI is advancing — quickly. https://t.co/Dw6iBDFghQ
SmukScience? Eller forskning til festivalfolket om hvordan man måler lyset hastighed - i øl! 🎓🍻
Til @Smukfest var der fuldt program i en Science Pavillion med fascinerende og underholdende forskning. Mød Ulrik Uggerhøj, Mads Rosendahl Thomsen, Peter Hald og Jens Chr Bjerring👇🏻
Forskningen er i den grad til stede på årets @Smukfest med Science Pavilion, der er arrangeret af @CERN. I dag har publikum oplevet kemishow med Peter Hald + Ulrik Uggerhøj også fra Kemi, der viste måling af lysets hastighed i øl, og Mads R. Thomsen fra Litteratur om AI & Tekst.
@MushtaqBilalPhD Great thread. Transportation: biking is also very different. Approx 40-45 % of all transportation in Copenhagen is by bike (in hilly Aarhus a little less).
I look forward to @ulf_db and Ea Lindhardt Overgaard's online @clai_aarhusuni talk on disciplinary voice and generative AI at 1.30 pm later today: https://t.co/m0bBZDgmMF.
"William Banks does not try to oversell Brandes’s influence or contribution but shows how Brandes develops his thinking...from concrete conflicts."
