Defining the art of the possible through basic, applied, and experimental research
RESEARCH NOTES
One of the great - and ironic - benefits of a state as well documented as the US, is that efforts to remove, delete, or ignore its vast pools of data inevitably inspire widespread resistance and countermeasures…
This research note observes that AI work is fundamentally experimental, and discusses technology assisted research, user purpose and search object in AI prompting, and distinctions between large language models and search engines.
This research note is part of a series on AI benchmarking and cross-pollinated methods.
This research note is part of an occasional series on AI benchmarking and cross-pollinated methods. The note addresses COSTAR prompting, working with different prompt configurations, modifying COSTAR to prioritise information targets, and the pitfalls of putting the horse before the cart.
This research note is part of an occasional series on AI benchmarking and cross-pollinated methods. The note addresses different prompt configurations for role-context-task (RCT prompting) and prime-persona-privacy-product-polish (5P prompting) tasks.
This research note on governance and infrastructure is the fifth in a series on evidence controls and digital technologies. The series develops points raised at the Danish Institute for International Studies, and research now part of a larger international collaboration on information and communications technology.
This research note on forensic expectations and aesthetics is the fourth in a series on evidence controls and digital technologies. The series develops points raised at the Danish Institute for International Studies, and research now part of a larger international collaborative project on information and communications technology.
This research note on the case of post-war Iraq and the UN Investigative Team for the Accountability of Daesh (UNITAD) is the third in a series on evidence controls and digital technologies. The series develops points raised at the Danish Institute for International Studies, and research now part of a larger international collaborative project on information and communications technology.
This research note on the case of wartime Ukraine is the second in a series on evidence controls and digital technologies. The series develops points raised at the Danish Institute for International Studies, and research now part of a larger international collaborative project on information and communications technology.
This research note introduces and is the first in a series on evidence controls and digital technologies. The series develops points raised in a talk given at the Danish Institute for International Studies event, on the role of digital devices in politically contentious environments. The research is now part of a larger project on information and communications technology, in collaboration with colleagues in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
