Judith Ann Molka-Danielsen, Molde University College (Norway)

Professor in Informatics and Information Sciences at Molde University College in Norway; PhD (1998) University of Pittsburgh USA. Her core research interests are in innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence / machine learning, augmented reality, virtual reality, haptic technologies, etc., and how they are providing new opportunities for how individuals and organisations engage with work, personal life, and society. Additionally exploring the boundaries between individuals, groups and systems and research in human experiences. In her recent publication, Molka-Danielsen and colleagues explore the need for embodying ethical principles into the design and production of the innovative technologies, especially in the User Interface and User Experience processes.
