  1. Teaching reflective data practices for sustainable technology design

    Eva Eriksson , Rikke Hagensby Jensen & Jonas Frich

    The project aims to provide teachers in higher education with innovative educational resources for teaching students reflective data practices for sustainable technology design with, through and by data. Acquiring the skills to design technology for eco-social values will be crucial for future generations of practitioners in their strive to achieve sustainable development. The educational resources developed will be published online as an open educational resource (OER).Description

  2. Sonic Citizenship

    Morten Breinbjerg , Marie Højlund & Anette Vandsø

    We propose that the concept "sonic citizenship" is a fruitful framework for the multitude of ways in which we form the aural backgrounds to each other in the rhythms of our daily lives, where citizenship is practiced, negotiated, and maintained through our everyday sonic activities.

    Sonic citizenship opens a discussion on how we aurally take part in, and attune to, our community and who in the community has the privilege to raise their voice (to talk and make sound), a right to be heard (listened to), and how we conform to each other through attunement and regulation, thereby assuming the role of citizens. Sonic citizenship, as a concept, extends across various levels of the collective. It encompasses the micro-social intricacies of attunement – everyday, often unnoticed, habits of sonic interaction that shape our connections with those in our immediate vicinity. On a meso-level, it encompasses public negotiations within shared sonic spaces within a city. At macro-social levels, sonic citizenship pertains to the imagined communities of nations. It also involves our relation to the other 'companion species' we inhabit the earth with and depend on, and whose voices are threatened due to the global biodiversity and climate crisis. Description

  3. Practice Resonant AI Ethics for the Public Sector

    Madalina Pop , Christian Dindler & Gizem Öz

    This project explores how practitioners who design, develop and procure AI technologies in the public sector understand and navigate ethical challenges. While ethical guidelines for AI are widespread, they often remain abstract and disconnected from real-world practice. This study adopts a practice-oriented approach to ethics examining how ethical concerns emerge within everyday activities such as design and procurement, shaped by social, organisational, and technical factors.

    The project pursues a threefold aim: (1) to provide a series of case studies for an in-depth understanding of the practices and ethical challenges faced by AI practitioners, (2) to map the strategies used by Danish municipalities to address the ethical issues AI practitioners navigate, (3) to develop toolkits that support AI practitioners in embedding ethical principles.

    Focusing on Denmark's municipalities the project aims to support responsible, inclusive, and effective use of AI in the public sector.Description
