Pontus Wärnestål recently presented a project on human-centered AI which is a collaboration between Halmstad University, High 5 and Digitaliseringsbyrån using the software AI.m to help companies in Halland understand and improve their utilization of AI.
A new episode is released by Teknikdygnet. Listen to Pontus Wärnestål and Fredrik Hofflander, AI expert at ÅF, discussing AI and service design, emerging benefits and risks.
Vinnova is now investing in nine pilot projects in which universities will produce short courses for professional specialists. Professional development during ones work-life is becoming increasingly important for Sweden’s competitiveness and innovation capacity.
The project Digital Design and AI Podcasting is developed by Pontus Wärnestål and Stefan Byttner at ITE, in collaboration with RISE Viktoria, Digital Reliance and inUse/ÅF. HPC is assisting with pedagogic matters.
The arrival of autonomous vehicles in our society will significantly change the way we travel. But should we, and our cities, adapt to new urban mobility or can technology be tailored for us? A new Drive Sweden project hosted by Halmstad University combines experimental prototyping and testing of intelligent services for urban development and autonomous vehicles, with participatory and human centred research.
”We need to design with rather than for the users, and we need research models that address this shift”, says Vaike Fors, Associate Professor in Pedagogy at Halmstad University.
The project leaders are gathered during the first out of four workshops.

IT-system kan bidra till bättre arbetsmiljö i skolan. Men det gäller att hitta rätt lösningar och att ha tydliga mål för arbetsmiljön. Det framkom vid ett seminarium på AFA Försäkring om hur den digitala tekniken påverkar arbetsmiljön där projektet IT-utveckling för hållbara arbetsplatser presenterades och av Michel Thomsen och Jörgen Johansson. Presentationen följdes av ett forskarsamtal och frågestund där även Maria Åkesson deltog.
Pontus Wärneståls framing of Service Design and AI has been published by the e-publication Good Audience. His goal with the text is to position Service Design and current AI application and value-creation in a short and digestible way, and back it up in a way that makes sense from a business perspective. This content was also presented at Good Tech Conference in Sundsvall.
