If you, as a user, want to protect your privacy, it is not enough to ask tech companies to delete your data. What the companies' AI models have learned from that data must also be unlearned. Researchers from SDU Applied AI and Data Science have now found a way to do this without weakening model performance.

AI and plants Using a new AI method, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have rediscovered 51 old pea varieties that are no longer used in agriculture but may prove promising for the production of plant-based foods. The method is a shortcut to finding new resources in the green treasure troves that gene banks' enormous seed collections represent.

Artificial intelligence does not necessarily help students learn more if it is only used to provide answers. However, research from the University of Copenhagen shows how aligning GenAI with learning theories and a human-centered perspective improves its educational impact. Artificial intelligence is here to stay.

Health technology Engineers are working with doctors to develop wearable digital health technologies that can prevent and treat diseases at home, helping healthcare services reduce outpatient visits and readmissions. We live longer. At the same time, the number of elderly people with a wide combination of chronic diseases is increasing, and recruiting nurses and doctors is becoming more difficult.

Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) have discovered that jellyfish can be used as a food stabiliser. In the future, the slimy creatures may become an important ingredient in a more sustainable food production system. Food stabiliser. The word might not sound particularly appetising, but without food stabilisers, much of the food we eat would be impossible to make.

Vaccine: A more effective vaccine technology may be on the horizon. In a new study in mice, researchers from the University of Copenhagen demonstrate that a simple addition to mRNA vaccines can significantly enhance their effectiveness. The innovation could become a powerful tool in the next pandemic.

The future of farming isn't just about giant tractors and airborne drones. Even the humble seed analysis is now stepping into the digital age. A new study from Aarhus University and the Tystofte Foundation shows how artificial intelligence and image recognition could revolutionise one of agriculture's most manual tasks.

DTU's technologies and innovations must benefit people, society and the planet. The research and solutions must be responsible, and work in society in a way that benefits as many people as possible. DTU wants to create technology for people. Therefore, considerations about how a new technology can affect people - the social impact - must be included in DTU's research designs right from the idea phase.

A new study by researchers at DTU, SDU, and AAU shows that bio-based building materials alone are not enough to make the construction industry sustainable. We need to build much less. If the Danish construction industry replaces mineral wool, concrete, and steel with wood, hemp, and straw, one might think that the green transition of construction could be ticked off.
