In the media

I comment regularly on media, technology, and artificial intelligence in Norwegian news media, with more than a hundred mentions a year since 2023. Over that time I have taken part in most of the country’s main debate programmes and news podcasts, and been interviewed across most of the major outlets. From 2022 to 2025 I was also co-host of Lederskap, NHH’s podcast on leadership research, producing 48 episodes. The highlights below give a sense of where I appear and what I discuss; for my own bylined pieces, see Writing.
