University of Bergen professor launches Norwegian Computational Behaviour & AI Lab
In a LinkedIn post, Christoph Trattner, Professor at the University of Bergen and Director of SFI MediaFutures, confirmed the launch of the Norwegian Computational Behaviour & AI Lab (CSS Lab). The lab will focus on computational behavior and artificial intelligence research to examine how people consume food and media.
According to Trattner, the lab’s work will include research into news, polarization and democracy, health and sustainable food choices, human–AI interaction on digital platforms, and methods for democratic AI. The initiative builds on earlier research published in journals such as Nature Food, Nature Sustainability, CACM, and UMUAI, as well as projects like MediaFutures, NEWSREC, and REYNIR.
The lab is seeking collaborations with newsrooms, health organizations, and digital platforms, while also inviting applications from motivated students and postdoctoral researchers.
Christoph Trattner says: “I’m excited to share the startup of my new lab: the Norwegian Computational Behaviour & AI Lab (CSS Lab)! Our mission is to better understand and shape how people consume food and media through computational behaviour and AI research.”
