Tech Policy Youth Committee

The Tech Policy Youth Committee (TPYC) strives to take an active role in the debate about the impact of digital technologies on society and daily life, including our welfare system, psychological well-being, cybersecurity, geopolitics, disinformation, inequality, green transition, and much more.

‍

Why?

While digitalization brings advantages, it also raises concerns. It is essential to involve and engage the youth in the ongoing digital transformation, as it directly affects our future and because we possess an incredible amount of knowledge from growing up in a digital world.

Our goal is to forward the plurality of voices represented in our generation on questions of tech and digitalization. We will do this with a common understanding of which values should guide future development; asking what kind of society we want, and how tech could help enable this.

Additionally, we recognise that technological development does not necessarily equal human development. Therefore, we want to assess in which ways technology poses new challenges as well as new opportunities in society, such as social organisation, green transition and equality.

We want to make tomorrow more just and inclusive and inquire into where technology can facilitate improvement to humanity and the green transition, improve future generations' life conditions, and call for a rights-promoting approach.

What?

TPYC is a high-commitment committee. We meet four times per semester at meetings centered around different topics within the field of tech policy. These meetings are organized by the committee members and are a mandatory part of being a member. In addition to this, we strive to host events (both internally and externally),write opinion pieces and policy briefs, and engage with key stakeholders in academia, the private/public sector, and civil society. We organize working groups centered around different projects the committee members are interested in.

Who?

The Tech Policy Youth Committee is open to students enrolled or on exchange at a Danish higher education institution who wish to engage themselves in the present and future development of Tech Policy. We seek to cultivate diversity among members and encourage students from all academic backgrounds to apply. Currently, the committee is comprised of 15 students with a plurality of different academic backgrounds. The committees working language is English.

As a member, you commit yourself to a semester’s active participation. Members are welcome to stay as active members for the duration of their studies.

How?

We welcome new applications to join TPYC before the beginning of each semester. Keep an eye out for our LinkedIn page, where we will post calls for new members and deadlines.

CPH Tech Policy Committee

CPH Tech Policy Committee samler forskere og fagfolk fra den offentlige sektor, virksomheder og civilsamfundet for at diskutere udfordringer inden for teknologi- og digitaliseringspolitik med afsæt i den nyeste forskning.

Udvalget arbejder for at bringe danske erfaringer i dialog med internationale praksisser og skabe nye, varige globale partnerskaber.

Tech Policy Youth Committee (TPYC) er et studenterdrevet udvalg, der samler engagerede studerende for at debattere og forme fremtidens teknologipolitik. Udvalget arbejder blandt andet med digitalisering, velfærd, psykisk trivsel, cybersikkerhed, geopolitik, desinformation, ulighed og den grønne omstilling.

Som medlem bliver man en del af et aktivt netværk, deltager i møder, events og samarbejder med centrale aktører fra civilsamfundet, erhvervslivet, og den offentlige sektor. Tech Policy Youth Committee arbejder for at styrke unges stemme i debatten om digitalisering og teknologi og dermed bidrage til en mere retfærdig og inkluderende digital fremtid.

CAISA har modtaget en bevilling på 45 mio. kr. fra forskningsreserven til et samarbejde med Danmarks Statistik. Samarbejdet skal styrke både forskningen i ansvarlig kunstig intelligens og den infrastruktur, der gør forskningen mulig, gennem to indsatser:

  • Den ene indsats skal modernisere Danmarks Statistiks infrastruktur for AI-forskning, så forskere kan arbejde sikkert med komplekse datakilder og træne store AI-modeller på danske registerdata.
  • Den anden indsats skal skabe ny viden om ansvarlig brug af AI-algoritmer, så de lever op til krav om ligebehandling, gennemsigtighed og tillid – og bevarer deres funktionalitet over tid.

Artificial General Intelligence and its Societal Implications

CAISA udgiver nu sit første research brief, Artificial General Intelligence and its Societal Implications. Briefet handler om kunstig generel intelligens (AGI) i samfundet. Læs et resumé på engelsk herunder.

Summary

The prospect of artificial general intelligence (AGI) has led some researchers and entrepreneurs to foresee an imminent “intelligence explosion,” leading to either humanity’s near-extinction, or a future of abundance. This brief examines the philosophical and technical premises underpinning such predictions, and their implications for governance. There are two such premises: first, that AI systems can be intelligent and become more intelligent with time; and second, that advanced AI can direct its behavior towards autonomously set goals. However, these premises rest on relatively weak foundations. CAISA recommends a clear-headed approach to AGI, as long as the concept and governance suggestions remain vague. The rush to prioritize AGI development—and/or its governance—risks diverting attention from the tangible risks posed by existing AI technologies, such as algorithmic bias, privacy erosion, and unchecked power concentrations. At the same time, to have a more meaningful discussion of AGI further research is needed, spanning philosophy, cognitive science, cybersecurity as well as the societal and political impact of AGI narratives.

Rebecca Adler-Nissen: Tro ikke på alt, hvad du hører om superin­tel­li­gens

CAISAs centerleder Rebecca Adler-Nissen skriver i en kommentar i Børsen om superintelligens, symbolpolitik og Silicon Valleys afledningsmanøvre.

"For big tech fungerer fascinationen af en nærtforestående superintelligens som et kommercielt røgslør, der fjerner fokus fra, hvad kunstig intelligens betyder allerede nu og her."

Kommentaren bygger på CAISAs seneste forskningsbrief, der handler om udsigterne til kunstig superintelligens eller Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
