Interlude: The impact of AI on Knowledge Workers and Implications for Higher Ed

Today we are discussing the impact of artificial intelligence, or AIm on knowledge workers, the topic of Trym Berger’s master’s thesis which he completed from the University of Oslo in June, 2024. At the time he was writing his thesis, Trym was also working at UiO’s Faculty of Educational Sciences on innovation initiatives - which is how the THESIS team met him and learned about his work. This gave Trym some perspective on the implications of his thesis findings for higher education. Trym is now a consultant at Ernst and Young in Oslo.
