Practical AI and workflow design
Identify useful tasks, decide where AI can help and design a workflow with clear human checks. Take away a practical way to assess a task before choosing a tool.

Talks and workshops
Practical understanding of AI, research and responsible innovation.
I deliver talks and workshops that connect technology with the work people actually do: the decisions they face, the information they need, and the responsibilities they retain.
Talks and practical workshops for researchers, research advisers and professional teams, adapted to their experience and everyday work.
I deliver sessions in Norwegian or English, in person or online. For hands-on workshops, I prefer in-person delivery.
Discuss a talk or workshopThemes
Context, sources and human judgement
Explore how context and source material shape an AI response, how to check its claims and when to rely on professional judgement. Learn to recognise uncertainty and ask better questions.
Privacy, ethics and responsible governance
Work through privacy, intellectual property, research ethics and accountability in everyday decisions. Identify questions that need review and practical responsibilities for using AI.
Research development and collaboration
Develop a research question, connect disciplines and partners, and bring structure to a funding proposal. Clarify the problem, contribution and next steps before drafting.
Selected talks and workshops
These examples illustrate my professional experience. They were delivered through my university role or sole proprietorship (ENK), as indicated, rather than commissioned through R&D Nordic AS.

Formats
A shared starting point, practical exercises or time to work through your team’s own questions. We agree the format around your audience and purpose.
Talks
A focused introduction for a shared understanding of a topic, with examples and discussion. Useful when an audience needs a clearer basis for decisions.
Practical workshops
Guided exercises using fictional examples or other material agreed in advance. Depending on the session, participants might map one workflow, prepare a source package or practise checking AI-generated claims.
Tailored team sessions
Work through a particular task, project idea or governance question together. Identify decisions, responsibilities and a manageable next step.

I’m Andrew Davidson, a senior R&D adviser based in Hamar, Norway. I hold a master’s degree in behavioural science. My work connects research development, AI, privacy and ethics.
