Ryen has previously been a board member and Acting Chairman of NORA and looks forward to leading the board going forward.
Research in artificial intelligence is currently happening at a tremendous pace. It can be challenging to keep up when development is moving so fast. Therefore, it is absolutely crucial that we collaborate within this research area in Norway.

It's great to be part of the NORA network! - Tom Ryen.
