The Sandbjerg Seminar this year is titled “Generative AI: Practices, Impacts, and Responsibilities.” The rapid adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies is reshaping societies worldwide, with profound environmental, social, and economic implications. Researchers, policymakers, and the general public alike face challenges in understanding how these technologies operate, how they impact communities, and how to use them responsibly. In this seminar, we will hear from researchers with firsthand experience in both critical and applied AI research, exploring how diverse approaches can inform sustainable and responsible AI practices. On the first day, we will examine the environmental footprint of AI and explore issues of responsible AI in the Global South, highlighting equity, governance, and practical implications. On the second day, we will gain a deeper understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs), learn how prompts shape outputs, and experiment with “slow prompting” strategies to enhance research and inquiry in a hands-on workshop. Through a unique blend of abstract discussion, specific case studies, and hands-on experimentation, the aim of this seminar is to encourage a reflection on the responsibilities, possibilities, and limitations of AI usage.
