AI centre sketch 354352

Summary

With the advent of large language models (LLMs) and ChatGPT, AI has become accessible and relevant to everyone. The next significant AI development is Multimodal generative AI (MGAI). MGAI promises to revolutionize every sector of society by integrating and generating content across text, images, audio, sensor data and video. While MGAI holds tremendous potential for advancing technology and improving user experiences, it also presents risks that need to be carefully managed. The proposed MGAI center will investigate how AI technology can be further developed and adapted to the unique needs of Norway’s public and private sectors while ensuring that potential negative consequences are minimized. The Center will research and develop core MGAI technology to drive innovation, improve efficiency, and ensure sustainable development tailored to Norway’s priorities.
