Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed user interfaces for remote control of ships, as well as positioning using water dept

Artificiell intelligens kan spara tid i läkarens arbete att ställa diagnoser vilka också blir träffsäkrare. Men läkaren bör också förstå och kunna förklara datorns beslut för patienten, annars kan tilliten äventyras, menar AI-forskaren Stefan Larsson. Med AI ställs vi också inför ett vägval: Vill vi spegla eller förändra världen? Lär hela artikeln på lu.se

When used as a diagnostic aid, artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians save time and make more accurate diagnoses. However, physicians should also understand and be able to explain the computer’s decision to the patient to avoid jeopardising trust, says AI researcher Stefan Larsson. AI also puts us at a crossroads: do we want to reflect the world or change it? Stefan Larsson is a research
