CEO Eirik Mofoss on Dagsnytt 18 on cutting electric car subsidies
Eirik Mofoss appeared on Dagsnytt 18 to debate the proposal he and Aksel Braanen Sterri have put forward: to cut electric car subsidies and rather spend the money on more effective climate cuts abroad.

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.
