Kinomodus Slå av kinomodus Minispiller

Live at 4:00 AM on the 21st of November 2024

We explore the transformative power of generative AI and Norway’s efforts in developing language models tailored to our unique culture. While big global tech firms dominate AI, Norway is making strides with models built to understand Norwegian language and values. This event will highlight the work from the University of Oslo, the National Library, and Schibsted, whose models, released in 2024, are already making waves in research and industry.
