Data centers are the infrastructure of the future — not a sidetrack in energy policy

AI er ikke et teknologiprosjekt

Aksel Sterri, Research Director, writes about the scaling law and the consequences it can have for Norwegian AI policy. “Despite the challenges, there is little reason to believe that we have seen the best AI models. Billions of dollars are invested in the leading technology companies and AI-created data has already been used to improve Anthropic's AI model.

Tore Renberg kritiserer Digitaliseringsministerns holdning til KI-sikkerhet
Tore Renberg kritiserer digitaliseringsministerens svar til fagsjef Aksel Braanen Sterri på Dagsnytt 18 den 26.09.

Det skal de få lov til å være. Det er den styrende parten som ikke har lov til å styre etter følelser."
