Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation's strategic programs are comprehensive investments in basic research and postgraduate education in areas that the Foundation considers to be of great importance for Sweden's development. The six strategic programs within; life sciences, AI, quantum technology, sustainable materials and the use and conservation of Swedish forests, create an extensive network of basic scientific knowledge building for the Swedish scientific community but also for industry and society at large. Anders Ynnerman, who at the turn of the year left as program director for the Foundation's largest strategic program WASP, Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program to take over the role of program chair, will now also become director of strategic research at Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. “We are very pleased that Anders Ynnerman, with whom we at the Foundation have worked closely for many years in his various roles within the Foundation's initiatives, is now also stepping into the Foundation's organization to take overall responsibility for the strategic programs,” says Peter Wallenberg Jr, Chair of Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.

Niklas Elmqvist will give the next Distinguished Lecture at Digital Futures this Thursday Jan 23 at 13:00. Niklas will talk about visualization in human-centered AI #HCAI. It is about providing a deep understanding of AI tools through visualization. Today, #AI tools #amplify existing abilities, #augment people with new abilities, #empower them to reach previously unattainable goals, and #enhance the overall quality of our work. Yet, people may be left in the dark as to many of the details of the work. Niklas' research agenda is to use #visualization tools, which engage people's powerful visual understanding, to #view, #explore, #schematize, and #report on the workings of AI. The goal is to lead to real-world deep #understanding and #insight, expose #bias, and tackle #human concerns directly, including #ethical implications, unintended #consequences, #fairness, #transparency and #accountability.

Join Us for a Thought-Provoking Seminar on Visualization in Human-Centered AI! We’re thrilled to invite you to the upcoming seminar "Automating the Path: An R&D Agenda for Visualization in Human-Centered AI", led by the esteemed Niklas Elmqvist from Aarhus University. Date & Time: January 23, 2025 at 13:00-14:00 Location: Digital Futures Hub, Osquars Backe 5, Floor 2, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Main Campus Registration required  (first come, first served): https://lnkd.in/dxsBmNx5 Or join us online via Zoom: https://lnkd.in/e__qMmTd Abstract: Generative AI, large language models, and foundation models are revolutionizing computer science—and data visualization is no exception. In this seminar, Professor Elmqvist will outline a systematic framework for integrating Human-Centered AI (HCAI) into the visualization field. Through four key HCAI capabilities (amplify, augment, empower, enhance) and the phases of visual sensemaking (view, explore, schematize, report), the talk will explore future opportunities, challenges, ethical considerations, and practical insights for researchers and practitioners. About the Speaker: Niklas Elmqvist is a Villum Investigator, IEEE Fellow, and Professor at Aarhus University, with a stellar academic career spanning Purdue University, University of Maryland, and leadership in renowned initiatives like the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL). His accolades include induction into the IEEE Visualization Academy and recognition as an ACM Distinguished Scientist. Don’t miss this chance to delve into the cutting-edge intersections of visualization and AI. Whether in person or online, we look forward to seeing you there!
