SUMMARY:The Politics of Models: Bias\, Representation and Transparency in Generative Models
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the workshop “The Politics of Models: Bias\, Representation and Transparency in Generative Models.” The event brings together researchers from both WASP and WASP-HS to explore the societal\, cultural\, and technical dimensions of generative AI\, and to foster new interdisciplinary collaborations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the workshop\n\n\n\nGenerative models can capture an abstract representation of various modalities such as sound\, images\, video\, text\, and data. These models are now globally utilized for knowledge and content organization and synthesis. The generative AI models are integrated rapidly into research\, industry\, culture\, and the public sectors; where the accelerated growth hinders the considerations into societal implications of these rapid advancements. These models are new forms of knowledge representation\, in which the technical choices such as applied ontology or categorizations as well as the data sources and gathering processes\, influence\, imply\, and afford new forms of power and control on representation\, history\, culture\, and knowledge associations. Addressing these issues requires both technical advancement and research as well as societal grounding\, awareness in positionality\, and critical engagements. This workshop creates a shared space for WASP and WASP-HS researchers with the goal to build interdisciplinary research directions to influence a better and healthier societal integration of generative AI.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRepresentation & BiasAnalysis of representation and bias in generative models across modalities – sound\, images\, video\, text\, and data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower & ControlUnderstanding the new forms of power and control enabled through generative AI over representation\, history\, and culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransparency & AccountabilityBuilding frameworks for transparent and accountable deployment of generative models in research and society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocietal AlignmentAligning technical solutions with societal expectations\, needs\, and values for a healthier integration of AI. \n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nAugust 25: Arrival & Opening\nWelcome lunch\, introductory sessions\, and evening reception at Rånäs Slott. From lunch onwards \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nAugust 26: Full Day of Sessions\nKeynotes\, interdisciplinary panels\, collaborative workshops\, and research discussions. Full day \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nAugust 27: Closing & Departure\nFinal sessions\, synthesis of ideas\, future directions\, and farewell lunch. Ends with lunch \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\nKivanç Tatar\, Chalmers University of TechnologyKathlén Kohn\, KTH Royal Institute of TechnologyMd Fahim Sikder\, Linköping UniversityFrancis Lee\, Södertörn UniversityBodil Formark\, Södertörn University

SUMMARY:Nordic AI Cup
DESCRIPTION:The Nordic AI Cup aims to inspire and strengthen the next generation of AI talent \n\n\n\nWe bring students together to solve real-world challenges through collaboration and applied artificial intelligence. \n\n\n\nAbout the competition\n\n\n\nThe Nordic AI Cup national challenge began as a student competition in Denmark\, as a platform to showcase and develop the next generation of AI talent. The tradition was initiated by the Danish company Ambolt AI\, which hosted the first edition in 2021. Since then\, the competition has expanded every year\, growing in both scale and ambition. \n\n\n\nIn 2026\, the AI hackathon reaches a new level\, scaling beyond national borders across the Nordic countries in its most ambitious edition yet with the academic organisations in the Nordic AI Partnership as national partners. \n\n\n\nThis year\, the online national challenges will be held simultaneously across five Nordic countries – Denmark\, Norway\, Finland\, Sweden\, and Iceland.  \n\n\n\nWinners from the five national online competitions will then meet physically in Iceland at the Nordic AI Meet\, where they will compete in the ultimate Nordic battle to determine the final winner of the Nordic AI Cup. \n\n\n\nHosted by Ambolt AI\, the Nordic AI Cup is a four-day online challenge\, testing participants’ ability to build and deploy AI models across a range of disciplines.  \n\n\n\n\nLearn more and register your team

SUMMARY:Nordic AI Meet
DESCRIPTION:The Nordic AI Meet (NAIM) returns for its fifth edition in Reykjavík on 14–15 October 2026\, bringing together PhD students\, postdocs\, and early-career researchers from across the Nordics to share ideas\, build collaborations\, and shape a Nordic approach to AI for the societal good. \n\n\n\nAbstracts are welcome from all areas of AI research — from technical foundations such as machine learning\, NLP\, robotics\, and computer vision\, to applied work in medicine\, the natural sciences\, industry\, and the public sector. \n\n\n\nAI and the Humanities: we particularly encourage submissions connecting AI research and humanities perspectives\, in either direction — AI methods applied to humanities domains\, or humanities approaches applied to AI itself. The call remains open to all AI research. Accepted abstracts will be presented as posters or short talks. \n\n\n\nSee timeline\, program\, practical details and register at the conference website: https://www.nordicaimeet.com/

SUMMARY:Measuring What Matters
DESCRIPTION:WASP Research Arena WARA Media and Language is hosting Measuring What Matters\, 3-6 November 2026 at Skåvsjöholm\, located just outside Stockholm. The event is a follow-up to the successful 2025 Wallenberg Advanced Scientific Forum and aims to bring together global experts in deep generative modeling to ultimately bring about new\, effective evaluation methods that will drive future progress in multimodal generative models\, alongside practical tools to promote their adoption within the research community. Like its predecessor\, the forum is designed to be highly interactive\, consisting nearly exclusively of structured and directed discussions in smaller focused groups\, rather than talks\, panels or plenaries.  \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration for WASP PhD students and affiliated researchers (free of charge\, number of seats are limited). \n\n\n\n\nRegister free of charge\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration for all others without current WASP-affiliation\, and for late registrations when free seats are out (cost 7725 SEK\, plus VAT). \n\n\n\n\nRegister with a cost
