Keynote at the Multi-Generational Registry release conference
I’m excited to be heading to Eigtveds Pakhus on May 28 to give a keynote at Rigsarkivet’s release conference for the Multi-Generational Registry (MGR). From the event page:
På konferencen lancerer vi det danske Multigenerationsregister (MGR), der består af relationer mellem børn og forældre længere tilbage, end de er registreret i CPR-registret. MGR er en ny forskningsinfrastruktur, der kan bruges til at linke data fra eksisterende registre, biobanker, kohorter og arkiver sammen over generationer.
(In English: the conference launches the Danish Multi-Generational Registry, a research infrastructure that captures parent-child relationships further back than the CPR registry allows, and lets researchers link existing registers, biobanks, cohorts, and archives across generations.)
My slot is the second of two keynotes and looks at how to use AI in ways that are actually useful for society, and what a resource like MGR specifically can contribute. The day is moderated by all-round awesome science writer Lone Frank.
The programme also contains a thing I can’t wait to check out: composer Mark Solborg and the Copenhagen Clarinet Choir performing Lyden af MGR – an interpretation, in clarinet, of what a hundred years of every Danish person sounds like when you treat the registry as a score. I have no idea what to expect and I’m here for it.
