Proposal for a Nordic Interagency Intelligence Conference and Centre

A Peace Intelligence Initiative

Introduction

Microsoft Says That AI Is Stupid

I know there is a difference among:

What senior managers believe about their minions’ innovations
What marketers say about the technology the engineer wizards are crafting in the innovation microwave
What “real” journalists angling for a job with some tailwind write
What the reality of an innovation is, right now.

Berto Jongman: Action-Based Indigenous Research — a Short Bibliography

Advanced Cyber/IO

Bibliography on Action-Based Research Methods

Action-based research is about making material and social change during our research, through methods and methodologies, rather than after data has been collected. Some are explicitly activist, while others might be about making more ethical collaborations. Such methods are particularly relevant to discard studies, since our field studies something that is seen as harmful and/or in need of management. A new website called “Action-Based Research Methods” has a bibliography on a wide array of action-based research topics, from quantitative Marxism to participatory mapping.
