The Master Mason Who Lives What Others Write Books About

A conversation with master mason Smári Sigurðsson about craftsmanship, responsibility, and life before the digital age. How Deep Work and Stoic philosophy are learned not from books, but by watching a master work and handing him the right tools at the right time.

Is Icelandic Lost in Translation? Language, Technology, and the Future

Is Icelandic getting lost in translation in the digital age? In the latest episode of Temjum tæknina, I speak with Lilja Dögg Jónsdóttir, CEO of Almannaróm. We dive into the state of the language in the age of AI and discuss how we can ensure Icelandic remains viable in the technological society of the future, rather than ending up as museum relics.

The Shadow in the Machine: Searching for Humanity in the Digital Sewer

Is artificial intelligence merely technology, or is it a reflection of ourselves? In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Roberto Buccola and philosopher Giorgio Baruchello. We discuss the intersection of technology, psychology, and mythology, exploring the contrasting cultural worlds of Iceland and Sicily as a metaphor for how we approach the unconscious.

Mindset, skills, and tools: Responsible implementation of technology in learning

Í þessum þætti ræði ég við Helenu Sigurðardóttur, kennsluráðgjafa við Kennslumiðstöð Háskólans á Akureyri, um þá gríðarlegu umbreytingu sem tækninýjungar, og þá sérstaklega gervigreind, hafa á menntakerfið. Helena deilir einstakri reynslu sinni af innleiðingu tækni, allt frá fyrstu spjaldtölvunum til dagsins í dag. Farið er yfir hvernig hægt er að nýta gervigreind sem öflugan samherja í námi, áskoranir sem fylgja ábyrgri notkun og mikilvægi þess að halda í mannleg grunngildi á tímum örra breytinga.
