A one-afternoon Danish-language conference at Den Sorte Diamant in Copenhagen examining how artificial intelligence shapes the production, filtering, and distribution of knowledge, organised by Lex and DR with researchers, journalists, and parliamentarians.
"AI-konference: Når AI afgør, hvad vi ved" ("When AI decides what we know") is a one-day afternoon event in Copenhagen organised by Lex, Denmark's national encyclopaedia, in partnership with DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation). The conference addresses the societal implications of AI systems as filters and gatekeepers of information: what gets surfaced, what gets suppressed, and who bears responsibility. Physical attendance was sold out; free digital access is available via registration.
This is a policy and epistemics-focused event rather than a technical developer conference. It sits at the intersection of media criticism, information science, and AI governance, drawing on Lex's mandate as a trustworthy knowledge institution and DR's public service journalism role. The format is a structured half-day session with confirmed speakers from parliament, research, and civil society.
Confirmed speakers as of verification include Lisbeth Bech Nielsen, Member of Parliament for SF (Danish Parliament), and Birgitte Vind, Member of Parliament for Socialdemokratiet. Additional speakers from research and media were announced on the organiser's website but are not publicly confirmed in verifiable sources at time of writing.

Den Sorte Diamant (The Black Diamond) is the modern extension of the Royal Danish Library on Copenhagen's waterfront at Soren Kierkegaards Plads. Dronningesalen is its main concert and event hall. The venue is central, accessible by public transit, and associated with Denmark's primary national knowledge institutions.
Lex, operating as Vi er Lex, is the organisation behind Danmarks Nationalleksikon, the Danish national encyclopaedia. Its editorial mission emphasises verified, trustworthy knowledge accessible to the public. The conference is co-produced with DR (Danmarks Radio), the Danish public broadcaster. Together they represent two of Denmark's most established public knowledge and media institutions.
For those working at the junction of AI systems and public information infrastructure, this event addresses questions most developer conferences skip entirely.
