AI, artificial intelligence, is trendy. But where does the boundary go between humankind and machine and what should we use AI for? “It’s time to ask ourselves what humankind possesses that machines do not. How can they complement each other, rather than compete?” asks philosopher Jonna Bornemark. Will your future colleagues have human intelligence – or perhaps artificial? It may sound like a stra

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but

Heatwaves and dry summer seasons have turned the Mediterranean basin into a global wildfire hotspot. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, wildfires raged across all of the Mediterranean, with devastating loss of lives, livelihoods, infrastructure and more than 620,000 ha forest area. LUCSUS researchers have studied barriers for collective action in preventing, responding, and adapting to fires, and ma

Att skogsägare känner starkt för sin skog innebär inte automatiskt att de gör mer för att främja biologisk mångfald. Dessutom riskerar dagens system för frivilligt skydd att missa de mest värdefulla naturområdena. Det visar en ny avhandling av Hanna Ekström Pigot. I studien har 23 skogsägare i södra Sverige intervjuats. Många av skogsägarna har en tydlig och känslomässig relation till sin skog, so
