Confused about the AI threat?
Recent events have made AI risk a topic of public debate in Norway. Some researchers issue strong warnings, others claim they see doomsday on the horizon, while others dismiss the whole thing as marketing campaigns. This document summarizes what we know, what is disputed, and what the implications of this uncertainty are. The document can also be downloaded as a PDF.

Aid on whose terms?
Ocean-related aid is spread thinly across many projects and countries. It is therefore not a solution to the fragmentation in current aid, as the Institute of Marine Research claims.

Not everything that creates jobs is aid
The most interesting thing Minister of International Development Åsmund Aukrust (Labour Party) said on Dagsnytt 18 almost went under the radar. He stated that development policy is more than just aid.
Vaccines are security policy
Pandemics can be more dangerous than war. The Ebola outbreak in the DR Congo shows just how poorly prepared the world remains.
Nothing new from Arendal
We went to Arendalsuka with a naive hope of hearing news from Project Turning Point. We didn't.
Media coverage
Incorrect about government climate funding
Minister for Development Tvinnereim responds to General Manager Eirik Mofoss's column in DN where he criticizes the government for fiddling with figures when describing Norway's climate finance.
Complaints about Norwegian GMO ban to EU
Genetechnology expert Sigrid Bratlie complains about Norway's import ban on genetically modified corn and rapeseed to the European Union's control body ESA, because she believes it violates EEA rules. Law professor Hans Petter Graver believes Norway may have to lift the import ban.
The need for dissidents
Torbjørn Røe Isaksen writes in E24 about the importance of dissent in a society, highlighting Langsikt's note on the lab leak hypothesis (https://www.langsikt.no/publikasjoner/lablekkasje) as well as the VG case on the same topic (https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/OooK9w/kan-bli-tidenes-stoerste-skandale), where Senior Advisor Sigrid Bratlie is interviewed, as an important example.
It could be the biggest scandal of all time.
“There are many elements of this case that are best explained by the fact that there was a lab leak.” VG writes about the origin of the corona pandemic, and has interviewed Senior Advisor Sigrid Bratlie among others.
Research Director Aksel Braanen Sterri comments on the Perpektivin NRK Nyheter
“We need a perspective message with multiple perspectives.” This was the main message of Aksel Braanen Sterri, Head of Science, when he spoke about artificial intelligence (AI) at Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) in connection with the launch of the perspective message. Previous perspective reports have overlooked the financial crisis, the pandemic, wars and most recently artificial intelligence, i.e. the really big events. Instead of just presenting one scenario, we should acknowledge the uncertainty we live with. This allows us to assess how robust our societal institutions are in the face of many different futures, not just the one that most closely resembles the past.
AI entrepreneur tests basic salary. — Need a drastic realignment.
Academic Director Aksel Braanen Sterri was interviewed by Aftenposten about the major citizen wage study funded by Sam Altman.
Think agriculture drives scare propaganda: Starts in new think tank to promote genetic engineering
Senior advisor Sigrid Bratlie has been interviewed by Nationen about modern genetic engineering in food production. Sigrid points out that there are concerns about adopting genetic engineering that should be taken seriously. However, this should not stand in the way of all the positive aspects of GMOs, such as the significant contributions they can make to the path to a sustainable food system.
Vi står på terskelen til en slags «perfekt storm» i helsevesenet
Intervju av seniorrådgiver Sigrid Bratlie om helsepolitikk og regulering av bioteknologi. -Regelverket for bruk av genteknologi er i dag svært lite treffsikkert og paradoksalt nok motsatt av hvordan det burde være. Nyttig bruk av genteknologi, særlig innen matproduksjon, er overregulert av politiske årsaker, mens de virkelig farlige bruksområdene er underregulert.
Seniorrådgiver Sigrid Bratlie i Sommer i P2

Vi må snakke opp muligheten til å bidra
Misjonsalliansen svarer på daglig leder Eirik Mofoss sitt innlegg "Krisene vi ikke bryr oss om" ved å peke på at man må fokusere på at det nytter å gjøre noe for å løse fattigdom og humanitære kriser.
