This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Over the past 50 years, the water in lakes and watercourses has turned increasingly brown. The so-called browning has a negative impact on both drinking water production and ecosystems. If nothing is done, the water is likely to turn even browner – however, there is hope. Supported by a new study, researchers from Lun

Att förtäta städer kan vara positivt för exempelvis minskad biltrafik och bättre service till fler människor. Samtidigt kan det ske på bekostnad av grönytor och människors hälsa. Johanna Alkan Olsson är lektor vid CEC och har under lång tid forskat på dessa dilemman. Idag

Can AI think? The short answer is no, at least not in the way humans think. AI does not have incentives, opinions, or empathy. Even two-year-olds possess something that our artificial systems lack – the capacity to think in terms of cause and effect, according to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of Cognitive Science at Lund University.
