In the media
Commentary and interviews on media, technology, and AI.
I comment regularly on media, technology, and artificial intelligence in Norwegian news media. 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, the Norwegian School of Economics’ 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.

Speaking, panels, and moderation
I speak regularly at conferences, sit on panels, and chair public debates, including one between the current and former minister of digitalisation. Here is a streamed talk I gave for the Norwegian Media Businesses’ Association in October 2025, warning that a media crisis could arrive faster than we expect, followed by two panel debates with editors and politicians.
