The launch of the AI-exclusive social media platform Moltbook has attracted global attention and sparked debate about artificial intelligence, autonomy, and machine consciousness. On the platform, more than one million AI agents interact with each other and share viewpoints, which some see as signs of a new and potentially concerning development in AI.

How can artificial intelligence strengthen practice-based learning in technical vocational education? CAISA is a key partner in a new five-year project supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation with DKK 6 million. The project aims to develop next-generation AI-powered learning tools for electrician and plumbing and energy programmes.

How do we design public AI that genuinely supports citizens - without falling for the hype?

Hear from our chief scientist and Professor Serge Belongie on VoresAI/Advotar, responsible AI development, and the challenges of navigating today's digital public sector landscape.

What happens when researchers challenge methods, disciplinary boundaries, and conventional thinking? This question is at the heart of a new article in Science Report featuring our chief scientist Sune Lehmann.

In a recent article, our chief scientist Anders Søgaard examines a central question in the AI debate: what does it really mean when chatbots communicate as if they understand the world - and who are we actually interacting with?

What happens to our brains when we delegate more of our thinking to AI? Read Anders Søgaard’s perspective on how artificial intelligence may shape the way we think - and why this is worth reflecting on.

Megatrends 2026: From the growing influence of tech giants and increasing demands for diversity to AI agents and a transforming labour market. Six experts, including Centre Director Rebecca Adler-Nissen, share their perspectives on the trends that will have the greatest impact on your job.

Our Centre Director, Rebecca Adler-Nissen, appeared on 14 December 2025 in "Verdensituationen med Clement" alongside Senior Researcher Rasmus Sinding Søndergaard from DIIS. The episode focused on the FE's new threat assessment, which identifies the United States as a potential threat to Denmark, and explored what this means for Europe and Ukraine.

CAISA's Deputy diector, Thomas B. Moeslund, shares his perspective on why advanced technology only creates real value when it is developed in close collaboration with people and society.

CAISA's Director, Rebecca Adler-Nissen, writes in a commentary in Børsen about superintelligence, symbolic politics, and Silicon Valley’s diversion tactics: “For big tech, the fascination with superintelligence acts as a commercial smokescreen, shifting attention away from what artificial intelligence already means in the here and now.”

On 5-6 November, CAISA's Chief scientists Rebecca Adler-Nissen, Morten Axel Pedersen, Roman Jurowetzki, and Anna Rogers participated in Digital Tech Summit 2025. The conference brings together more than 5,000 decisionmakers, engineers, companies, academics, startups, investors, and students to discuss technology and its impact on industry and society.

The National Center for AI in Society (CAISA) has received DKK 45 million from the research reserve for a new AI collaboration with Statistics Denmark. This follows an agreement by the parties behind the research reserve on the allocation of next year's funding.

At the City of Copenhagen's Project Management Day 2025, CAISA's chief scientist Serge Belongie delivered one of the keynote presentations to more than 250 IT-project managers and decision-makers from across the municipality's digitalisation efforts.

On 2 November, Rebecca Adler-Nissen appeared on the DR programme "Verdenssituationen med Clement" Here, she joined Ulrik Vestergaard Knudsen, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Netcompany, and economist Andreas Steno Larsen to discuss topics such as security and democracy in light of the growing role of artificial intelligence in society.

On 30 October, CAISA hosted a workshop exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming professional expertise and decision-making in the public sector.

CAISA enters the STÅSTEDER project, which has recently received funding from the VELUX Foundation. The project uses perspectival modelling to strengthen democratic decision support in the green transition.

On 8 October 2025, CAISA's chief scientist Helene Friis Ratner appeared on the programme "Deadline: do smart machines make students less capable?" She joined Professor Mikkel Flyverbom to discuss the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in Danish educational institutions and its impact on students.

On 8-9 October, several of CAISA's chief scientists - Rebecca Adler-Nissen, Sune Lehmann, and Morten Axel Pedersen - participated in an interdisciplinary symposium hosted by the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, focusing on the EU's path towards digital sovereignty.

Director Rebecca Adler-Nissen appeared on this week's episode of the podcast "akkurat" with Clement to discuss Ukraine, Russia, and the global security landscape.

At this year's D3A Conference, CAISA hosted a deep-dive workshop on the societal impacts of artificial intelligence (AI). Led by Helene Friis Ratner and Thomas Moeslund, the session explored topics such as digital sovereignty, infrastructure, the public sector, and AI in small and medium-sized enterprises.

How do we avoid a future where algorithms limit the questions we can ask, and where public services are handed over to big tech? And can we, through collaboration, transparency, and democratic agency, build a new kind of digital infrastructure we can actually trust?

Recently, CAISA's Director Rebecca Adler-Nissen and chief scientist Anders Søgaard discussed digital independence on the Researchers' Stage at The People's Meeting (Folkemødet), alongside Mikkel Flyverbom and Astrid Haug.

CAISA's workshop titled "AI building blocks: Need-to-do and Nice-to-do in the race for digital sovereignty" (Translated) organised by chief scientists Roman Jurowetzki and Morten Axel Pedersen, was the first in a series of technical workshops arranged by CAISA, bringing together AI experts across sectors.

"Artificial intelligence can help reduce inequality - if we design solutions with the most vulnerable citizens in mind from the outset."

This is the message from CAISA's Director Rebecca Adler-Nissen in an interview with Kommunen.dk.

Welcome to the National Centre for AI in Society (CAISA). The official launch took place in the Ceromonial hall at the University of Copenhagen.

In an op-ed in "Politikken", CAISA outlines seven key questions we must address if Denmark is to lead the way in developing artificial intelligence that strengthens competitiveness, democracy, and digital self-determination.
