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.
Data centers aren't the problem -- poor prioritization is
Data centers are portrayed as a threat to Norwegian industry and the power system. The figures show that the risks lie in unclear frameworks, not in the data centres themselves.
A new project for the state: The baby package
Stewardship of the natural resources and the welfare state are two of our nation's greatest triumphs. What is the next big project for A/S Norway?
Input to the strategy for Norway's cooperation with the World Bank
Norway should see its cooperation with the World Bank, particularly IDA, as more than an aid tool - it should be part of our long-term strategy to contribute to a stable and resilient world with less inequality and less poverty. Here are nine inputs on how.
Media coverage
I share Yoshua Bengio's concern about abuse of AI.
Arnoldo Frigessi, professor at UiO, responds to the criticism of Preben Ness and Tellef Solbakk Raabe in his Aftenposten chronicle: “The world's foremost AI scientist warns of the dangers of artificial intelligence. Dismissing him is risky.”
What happens if we leave KI to East and West?
If Europe is to keep pace with the technology race, we must start now, writes Trygve Svensson. He refers when Langarranged a lunch with KI pioneer Yoshua Bengio in Oslo in November.
The development of AI calls for a strengthened foreign policy
Niels Nagelhus Schia (NUPI) writes about foreign policy for KI in Klassekampen. He refers to the report “The Ten Commandments of Ki” by Langsikt's Expert Committee for KI, where he was a member of the committee.
Norway will allow poor people rather than the Oil Fund to pay for aid to Ukraine.
Danske Politiken writes about how the Norwegian government will use aid funds rather than oil money to fund larger funds for Ukraine.
The money bag for aid is significantly smaller than what the government gives the impression, claims new report.
Eirik Mofoss's budget analysis of Norwegian aid shows how less and less aid goes to poverty alleviation. Through two issues, Dagbladet looked up the findings from the analysis, and interviewed Development Minister Aukrust, as well as the party leaders in MDG, Rødt and SV.
Norad would cut information support to organizations — State Department said no
Eirik Mofoss is interviewed about the proposal to remove the information support in the note “Time for reprioritisations” in Panorama.

The Ten Commandments of AI are just the beginning
In order for them not to end up in the drawer, we have to take charge now. Before technology does. This is written by Director of Artificial Intelligence in Sopra Steria in Caspar M. Lund in Digi.
