Helvetes AI-agenter
AI-agenter skjuler seg bak språk som «assistenter», «copiloter» og «verktøy». Den reelle effekten er å organisere arbeid bort fra mennesker. Verdiskapingen skjer nettopp fordi dette ikke er tydelig for dem som rammes.
Bruk gjerne KI til å skrive tekst, men det er kritisk viktig at det finnes en avsender
I offentligheten er det likegyldig om man får skrivehjelp av en venn, enten vennen er av silisium eller kjøtt og blod.

What will happen to the jobs?
Framework for understanding KI's effect on the economy.
AI risk is many things — that's why we need multiple conversations at the same time
KI risk is not one thing. When we mix together concrete, political and long-term dangers, debate and policy become demanding.
A golden year for AI
2026 will be a golden moment for artificial intelligence. We should enjoy it while it lasts.
Data is not like oil. It's better.
Data lacks what we had for oil: an institutional architecture around the resource.
Norway contributes to the growth of others
AI is becoming the most important infrastructure of our time. Norway has significant financial interests, but is falling behind in the industrial sector. It makes us rich as investors -- and vulnerable as business.
Pseudocode is easy -- politics is hard. The AI Commanders Build the Bridge
if/else solves nothing in an adaptive, complex system like Norway. AI policy requires systems understanding, considerations of nature, security and voter acceptance—and it requires common principles before we can write the concrete features.
AI threats in the short and long term
The fact that KI is causing serious problems today does not mean that we can dismiss the threats of the future.

Hopes a public panel can be crowbar on the Oil Fund
Future in our hands, the Norwegian Church Aid and other NGOs believe that the people are ambitious for the future, and therefore ask them for recommendations to the politicians. “I have to admit that I have a slight fear that there will be recommendations that I disagree with,” says Eirik Mofoss of Langsikt.

Everyone dances around the golden calf — the Norwegian Oil Fund
Nettavisen has written commentary on NRK Debatten on November 13, which discussed monetary support to Ukraine given the oil fund's increased value as a result of the war.

Eirik Mofoss i NRKs Debatten om Ukraina-støtte og norsk superprofitt
Daglig leder Eirik Mofoss møtte politikerne Ine Eriksen Søreide og Guri Melby og flere i debatt i NRK Debatten om hvorvidt Norge bør gi mer støtte til Ukraina, og eventuelt flere andre tiltak. Mofoss argumenterte for at vi også bør gi økt bistand til land i sør som er særlig rammet av krigens ringvirkninger, og at det blir feil om Norge skal beholde den uforskyldte krigsprofitten selv.
