The government has invested one billion kroner in artificial intelligence, and as part of this initiative, MishMash, led by the University of Oslo, has the status of one of six new national research centers. The center will be a national hub for interdisciplinary research on artificial intelligence and creativity, with the aim of developing knowledge and solutions that benefit education, business, and the public sector.
From NLA, Professor Clemens Cavallin, among others, participates, who will research the use of AI to create educational videos within the center. In addition, Ole Fredrik Norbye (Associate Professor) and Linnéa Jermstad (Associate Professor), Francis Borchardt (Professor), Kim Larsen (Associate Professor), and Per Ivar Kjærgård (Associate Professor) participate.
– Here, our foremost knowledge environments will conduct groundbreaking research, which will put us on the international AI map, said Minister of Research and Higher Education Sigrun Aasland when the initiative was presented.
NLA University College participates as an active partner in the project and contributes with professional expertise in communication, media understanding, and aesthetic subjects. Through the collaboration, NLA gets the opportunity to be closely involved in the foremost research in AI in Norway, while NLA contributes to ensuring that ethical and pedagogical perspectives are central to the development of new technology. This provides good opportunities for both employees and students to participate in groundbreaking research and strengthens the university college's position in future-oriented knowledge development.
