AIAS joins the annual 2025 Festival of Research/ Forskningens Døgn at Aarhus University with a panel debate that will discuss the 'Digital Craziness’ - how do we as citizens and individuals manage to navigate in our highly digital everyday lives marked by algorithms, AI, digital platforms and apps.

The panel debate is held in Danish.

Den digitale vildskab: Hvordan navigerer vi i den digitale hverdag?

Algoritmer, AI og digitale platforme fylder i vores hverdag og demokrati. På et grundlæggende niveau forandrer digitaliseringen vores virkelighed med høj hastighed. Hvordan kan vi som borgere og samfund møde de udfordringer, risici og usikkerheder, som det digitale rejser? Og kan forskningen hjælpe os med at tæmme den digitale vildskab, så vi udnytter potentialet og håndterer udfordringerne? Vær med, når vi debatterer, hvordan vi høster frugterne af digitaliseringen og undgår faldgruberne.
