Ten Commandments for KI
Artificial intelligence has enormous potential to increase human welfare, but also involves unprecedented dangers.
The machine can find shortcuts in the tank
A machine has improved one of computer science's most fundamental ideas -- Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. It marks a turning point, where the boundary between human insight and machine computation is blurring.
We need a research institute for AI security
Artificial intelligence will be our next societal infrastructure. In order to trust it, we need to understand how it learns, reasons and influences us back. Norway should establish a research institute for AI security — not as supervision, but as an arena for insight, values and robust societal understanding.
CPR for foreign aid
The government is providing fresh billions for military support to Ukraine. But the fact that civilian aid is financed by cutting aid to the world's poorest threatens the very mainstay of Norwegian aid. That's why we are calling out the alarm, writing 25 organizations and actors.
Survey on Norwegians' attitudes to aid
Langsikt has designed a survey on Norwegians' attitudes to aid, which was conducted by Ipsos on a representative sample of 1,069 Norwegians in the two weeks before the election in September 2025. Press the Download button to read the full report in which Ipsos summarizes the results.
Five predictions about the future of aid
International aid is not dead, but changing. Five trends in particular will shape the future of development, according to aid veteran Masood Ahmed.

Farmers should not stand in the way of GMOs that can make the farming industry more sustainable and strengthen fish welfare.
Preserving the wealth tax is good conservative policy
The wealth tax is an insurance against the greater vulnerability of the tax system, writes Aksel Braanen Sterri in a reply to Eirik Løkke.
Media coverage

What happens at the intersection of advanced machine learning, applied ethics, and sociopolitical transformation?
Advisor and AI researcher Preben Ness visited Skravleklassen to discuss AI.
Langsikt recruits global health professional from Save the Children
Langsikt strengthens its team with Henrik Mathias Hvaal, who joins as a senior advisor in aid and global health.
Podcast: AI can give us a fantastic future! Super-happiness, super-intelligence, and super-long lives
Advisor Peder Skjelbred participated in Verdibørsen, where he talked about how AI can make the future utopian.
Senior Advisor Tellef Raabe on Nyhetskompaniet about Trump's AI meeting with Xi Jinping
AI security and Nvidia were also discussed.
The government is taking NOK 655 million from the aid budget to pay for increased spending on Ukrainian refugees in Norway
“This is once again a reverse Robin Hood policy: we are taking money from the world's poorest to finance spending that belongs elsewhere in the national budget. An additional $655 million for refugee spending is a legitimate political choice — but it is not aid,” said Eirik Mofoss, the executive director.
Norwegian KI policy is frighteningly naive. Norwegian KI experts are short-sighted and arrogant
Trade Council member Tore Wig writes that we must create plans that also take into account the most dramatic scenarios, and act politically as if KI can create this kind of strategic challenge for Norway.
A hobby terrorist with KI can design the next pandemic
The ongoing revolution in artificial intelligence presents us with enormous opportunities — but if unbridled AI development meets modern biotechnology, we also run the risk that people with evil intentions and just a little knowledge could create viruses, bioweapons and a host of other dangers. Senior advisor Sigrid Bratlie discusses with Lars Glomnes.
Are people going to trust a public sector run with AI?
By 2030, 100 percent of the world's most popular public sector will use artificial intelligence. Senior adviser Tellef Raabe is interviewed.
