News of the week: New Danish language model trained on Danish data

Another week has passed, and it offers new surprises in AI and education.

New Danish language model trained on Danish data and running on Danish servers

Mads Henrichsen has been working on a Danish language model trained on Danish data since December 2022. He estimates he has spent around 950 hours and DKK 100,000 preparing the models.

🔹 100% Danish: Trained exclusively on Danish data.
🔹 Longer availability: Now available for at least 30 days.
🔹 Easy access: No login required.
🔹 Completely free: No hidden fees.
🔹 More powerful: With built-in Google search function for up-to-date data.

You can test DanskGPT for free, and it will be available for approx. 30 days. DanskGPT is an essential step towards getting a language model that can be used in teaching, and at the same time, it is an opportunity to protect and promote the Danish language.

Feature article: Denmark's Education System Risks Sailing in the dark in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

We (Claus and Per) wrote a feature article for Information, on October 7th. The feature article aims to create debate about the lack of teaching in technology understanding, which challenges the Danish education system.

It is very incidental how artificial intelligence is included and used in the education and training sector. Teachers and educators occupy many different positions. Some embrace development and experiment, and explore new possibilities. Some shut down entirely and deliberately forget that the technology exists, while others leave it to the students to explore the possibilities. There will, therefore, be some who already use the technology on a large scale without guidance among the students.

We believe there is a need for the government to take responsibility and fund a national knowledge center for all education levels and for digital technology in education. This can help link education levels and transfer and share knowledge between primary, secondary, and higher education. There is a need for a common language and academic environment that can create coherence and equal conditions for how digital technology can be brought into play throughout education, regardless of where you live in the country and where you study.

Debat: Danmarks uddannelsessystem risikerer at sejle i mørke i den kunstige intelligens’ æra

Den næste generation skal rustes til at navigere i en verden, hvor kunstig intelligens ikke er til at komme uden om. Derfor bør regeringen finansiere et nationalt videnscenter for digital teknologi.
