As part of his CAISA Fellowship, Hannes has studied and engaged with the use of artificial intelligence in general practice, drawing on recent empirical evidence.
Ilker is a postdoc in the Language and Multimodal Processing Group at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen. His primary research focuses on natural language processing (NLP), with a particular interest in pixel-based language modelling and multimodal learning.
As part of his CAISA Fellowship, Ilker researches how generative multimodal AI models moderate content about political and public figures. He maps biases across countries and models, contributing new insights into political bias in generative AI.
Anja is a professor of Media Studies and Director of DATALAB at Aarhus University. Her research focuses on how AI-driven algorithms shape collective behaviour and democratic processes, and she has played key roles in international expert groups on disinformation and digital democracy.
