I am an associate professor (førsteamenuensis) in Artificial Intelligence at the Department of Information Science and Media Studies at the University of Bergen and the Head of Research for the Information Science division.

» My current research intersts are:

• Machine ethics (or artificial morality): how to implement ethical behaviour in computational agents? how to decide who should decide what is right/wrong for a machine?
• Logic reasoning in social networks: information distortions, social influence, information difussion.
• Collective reasoning and decision making: computational social choice, judgment aggregation flavour.
