Simula Research Laboratory

💡 Research thrives on collaboration, exchange of ideas, and exposure to different perspectives. Through The Alan Turing Institute Enrichment Program, NORA – The Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium enables select Norwegian PhD students to take part in a six-month research exchange. “There are a lot of opportunities to learn more about any subfield within AI. It was very exciting and fast-paced, being at one of the top institutes in AI research”. Anastasiia Grishina Hear from two of our PhD students - Anastasiia Grishina, previous enrichment scheme awardee, and Sushant Gautam (Simula Metropolitan Center for Digital Engineering), who will join ATI through the program in January 2025: https://lnkd.in/d5AUHszc #research #exchange #ATI #AI #Enrichment

From January 1st, Simula Consulting will be integrated into Simula’s research division as the Department of Applied AI. "This merger represents a step forward in our mission to make deep tech competence from Simula's research groups more accessible to industry. By integrating Simula Consulting more closely with our research units, we aim to foster stronger collaboration and drive innovation at the intersection of academic research and real-world applications," says Simula CEO Lillian Røstad. The Simula Consulting team, led by Holger Hussmann, will continue their excellent work within this new structure. 🔗 Read more about the merger: https://lnkd.in/dYi6ngeW

Takk for en spennende og engasjerende samtale Karianne Lien Sundahl, Anette Mellbye, Caroline Wilhelmsen - godt ledet var Hans-Petter Nygård-Hansen! På #brAIn-konferansen i dag i regi av Teknisk Ukeblad. Temaet var "Kunstig Intelligens i Praksis: Effektivisering, innovasjon og konkurransefortrinn". Jeg var glad for å få dele om hvordan vi i Simula jobber med å ta teknologi fra grunnforskning til innovasjon. Jeg er spesielt opptatt av at vi i Norge må utvikle produkter som har en verdi og et potensiale ut over landets grenser. Da kan vi bygge ny næring og øke konkurransekraften. Jeg tror at vi internt i Norge må ta i bruk KI å løse store samfunnsutfordringer. Effektivisering og teknologien som en assistent til mennesker er et viktig gjennomgangstema der. Vi har en utfordring med at vi fremover vil være færre mennesker enn vi har behov for. Hvis vi fortsetter å løse oppgavene på samme måte som vi gjør i dag. Det viktige spørsmålet blir da hva kan teknologien gjøre slik at vi kan frigjøre ressurser og menneskene kan bruke tiden sin på de oppgavene der det er viktig og riktig med et menneske? Samtidig tenker jeg vi bør bygge på kompetanse og erfaring vi allerede har - for eksempel innenfor offshore og havbruk - for å skape innovasjon og konkurransekraft. Det er raskere vei til markedet dersom vi bygger på det vi allerede er gode på, på eksisterende industri, og ser hvilke nye produkter og tjenester vi kan skape med kunstig intelligens.

I en tid der teknologiutviklingen går raskt, er behovet for å omsette forskning til praktiske løsninger stort. Det nye samarbeidet med Digital Norway representerer en brobygger mellom forskningsverdenen og næringslivet. – Det er viktig for Norge at vi klarer å skape ny næring, og vi er overbevist om at tettere dialog og samarbeid i det praktiske rommet mellom næringsliv, forskning og akademia er viktig for å utløse mer av innovasjonspotensialet som ligger i digital teknologi, sier vår direktør Lillian Røstad om det nye samarbeidet. Simula går inn som medlem i det nye fagnettverket for forskning og teknologi med SINTEF, Institutt for energiteknikk, Norsk Regnesentral og NORCE Norwegian Research Centre. En verdifull arena som støtter vår ambisjon om å sikre at forskningen skaper mest mulig verdi for samfunnet. Les mer om satsingen i denne artikkelen fra Digital Norway: https://lnkd.in/dMpxm3Sv

🚢 Collaboration with partner projects is a crucial step in the pursuit of realising the Just In Time arrival concept on a global scale! 🌊 The DYNAPORT project consortium co-hosted a roundtable workshop together with the MISSION Project this week - its sister project. Constructive discussions made the project’s common pathway more evident, with concrete common activities and collaborative action points being set. The workshop also kicked off the collaboration between the two sister projects and the SEAMLESS Project. Thank you to participants from all three projects for making the discussions fruitful and multifaceted. A special thanks to the international associated partners Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI), and Korea Maritime & Ocean University, who were invited to share their valuable insights. The DYNAPORT project is funded by The European Union.

Når vi snakker om KI-regulering, hvorfor ikke lære av hvordan vi beskytter naturen? I vår nye kommentar argumenterer Nandor Knust og jeg for at vi trenger en "Pachamama"-tilnærming til vår kollektive kunnskap i KI-alderen. Den litt ubehagelige sannheten er at dagens KI-systemer trenes på generasjoner av menneskelig kunnskap - våre språk, historier og kulturarv. Men vi la denne kollektive arven omformes til proprietære systemer uten reelle beskyttelsesmekanismer. Norge har allerede vist at vi kan balansere teknologisk utvikling med miljøvern og kulturelle rettigheter og vi synes at vi kan bruke denne erfaringen på KI-feltet mer effektiv. Vi står ved et kritisk punkt: - Skal vi forme hvordan vår delte kunnskap brukes i KI-utviklingen? - Eller skal vi la KI endre vårt forhold til kunnskap og kultur?

#SC24 is about to end - a great week with a record-breaking attendance of 17,500 individuals. For the first time, Quantum Computing had a significant presence throughout the event, spanning from in-depth tutorials, panel discussions and talks to a strong representation on the exhibitors' floor. Particularly noteworthy were the insightful invited talks delivered by Alba Cervera Lierta, PhD from Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and Jay Gambetta from IBM. Being a supercomputer conference, there was a natural emphasis on the integration of quantum computers and classical HPC systems. One crucial takeaway message was voiced by Eleanor Rieffel from NASA Ames Research Center when she highlighted the enduring importance of quantum computing within computer science. Regardless of whether quantum computers turn out to be successful or not, quantum computing is set to remain a vital tool in the computer science toolkit. Why? Because of the significant advancements quantum approaches have already brought to classical computing - and more is yet to come. This observation strongly advocates the inclusion of quantum concepts in any ambitious CS program. So, there are certainly exciting times ahead. To quote Robert Sutor on quantum computing, "we should be optimistic and realistic". #SC24 #QuantumComputing #ComputerScience
