Technologies of Decision Support and Proportionality in International Humanitarian Law
- 2023
-
In: Nordic Journal of International Law. - 0902-7351. ; 92:1, s. 93-118
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- What does proportionality reasoning mean for decision support in international humanitarian law (IHL)? We first consider contemporary ihl commentaries on proportionality as an analogue form of decision support through a paradigmatic example. Over time, proportionality in IHL has changed from being a rule-specific space for discretionary decision making to a much broader compromise-seeking within boundaries marked by law. Today, proportionality is a master norm in IHL, remaking rules by stealth and enabling the accommodation of novel master technologies as lawful. Artificial Intelligence (ai) support for military decision making is one such master technology that resonates particularly well with the inner structure of proportionality thinking: both build on cost-benefit analysis and engender the quantification of the world through data collection. We analyse how cost-benefit analysis and digitalization and algorithmic processing intersect in the U.S. legal context, to then proliferate into U.S. warfare and decision support systems, and onwards into IHL.

Dette brenner jeg for! Festskrift til Hege Brækhus 70 år
- 2019
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I dette festskriftet til Hege Brækhus bidrar et stort antall kolleger og kontakter til å anerkjenne Hege og hennes engasjement på ulike områder innenfor rettsvitenskapen i samfunnsmessig viktige spørsmål. Interessen for og betoningen av økonomien som sentral for et menneskes selvstendighet, i kombinasjon med det rent konkrete rommet, er så karakteristisk for Hege. Hun er en uvanlig person innenfor akademia, en person som har evne til å kombinere en akademisk karriere med et sterkt innslag av pragmatisme og nærhet til hverdagens praktiske aspekter, som arbeidsvilkår, lønn og karriereutvikling. Forfatterne representerer både samfunnsvitenskap og et bredt spekter av rettsvitenskap. Alle har skrevet om noe de selv brenner for - samfunnsmessige spørsmål av ulik art, behov for regelendringer, praksis man er kritisk til, osv. Boka har et stort spenn, både tematisk og ved inkludering av ulike fag, tradisjoner og metoder. Som helhet utgjør dette et festskrift som avspeiler «state of the art» når det gjelder engasjement blant forskere anno 2019.

[Prussian] BLUESHIFT – Space Debris 2551
- 2022
-
In: Stora Alvaret, Öland, Sweden, The Swedish Sculptors´ Association, 2022-06-11.
-
Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The sculpture [Prussian] BLUESHIFT - Space Debris 2551 takes its shape from the satellite Cosmos 2551. One of the biggest fragmentation events in space took place in 2009 when the abandoned satellite Cosmos 2251 and Iridium 33 collided, leading to the destruction of both satellites. To this day, over 1000 catalogued space debris objects from the collision circulate around the Earth and one of the orbits passes right over Öland. When an object in space moves towards us, the light from the object is called blueshift, which describes the change in the frequency of a light wave. The color of the sculpture is Prussian blue, which is on the World Health Organisation's list of essential medicines and is used as an antidote to certain heavy metals and radioactivity. The artistic research work questions ownership and responsibility for the pollution caused by colonisation and space tourism. Led by wealthy nations and private companies, this reflects the colonisation of the Earth whose negative impact on the environment and cultures we have yet to come to terms with. The sculpture is mostly created from recycled material from discarded student projects from the HDK-Valand art school and the Gothenburg Opera's metal textiles set design from the climate-smart production of The Ring of the Nibelung.

”Sipping Cosmic Latte in the Milky Way, waiting for The Big Crunch” and ”We are taking great pains to make sure there’s not an orbital debris issue”
- 2022

Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The two sculptures in the exhibition encompasses, discarded materials from the Arktikum Science Centre, the HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design workshops and the Gothenburg Opera. The sculpture ”We are taking great pains to make sure there’s not an orbital debris issue” includes images from her collaborations with the artificial intelligence bot Midjourney, based upon the Elon Musk statement which is also the title of the work [1] regarding the SpaceX expansion. In my artistic research practice I explore questions of ownership and responsibility for the (light) pollution caused by colonization, space tourism and commercial space tech companies. Led by wealthy nations and private companies, this reflects the colonization of the Earth whose negative impact on the environment and cultures we have yet to come to terms with. It is estimated that there is already more than 200 000 kg of artificial material on the Moon, and the number of large pieces of debris in space is about 20 000. The starry sky we look upon nowadays is actually scattered with artificial lights which impossible for the bare eye to tell the difference. The sculpture ”Sipping Cosmic Latte in the Milky Way, waiting for The Big Crunch” is a reference to the color of the Universe as defined by scientists Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry, named Cosmic Latte for its creamy yellowish white hue. The Big Crunch is a hypothetical scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the expansion of the universe eventually reverses and the universe recollapses.
