Climate AI Nordics Newsletter
Welcome to the June edition of the Climate AI Nordics Newsletter!
We connect the Nordic region’s researchers and practitioners at the intersection of AI and climate action. Whether your focus is on emission mitigation, ecosystem resilience, or biodiversity, this community is built to help your work thrive.
If you know colleagues in academia, public agencies, or industry who share these interests, invite them to join us at climateainordics.com/join.
This month’s issue is focused on a recap of the 2nd Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate, held on June 26, 2026 in Copenhagen. Thanks to everyone attending, and see you next year for the 2027 edition in Oslo (more info to come).
Also, a friendly reminder about our AICC-2 workshop at ECCV 2026 – the submission deadline is Aug 7th.
Finally, the next newsletter will be out in August – Climate AI Nordics takes a summer break during July :) We wish everyone a great summer!

More is different: emergent social conventions and tipping points in AI populations
Event date: 2026-08-27.
Webinar with Ariel Flint Ashery, City St George’s, University of London. Social conventions are the foundation of social coordination, shaping how individuals come together to form a society. In this talk, I will present theoretical and experimental findings that demonstrate the spontaneous emergence of social norms in LLM populations, as well as the existence of tipping points in social convention. I will show that agentic AI populations can establish social conventions and highlight how collective biases can emerge even when individual agents appear unbiased. I will conclude by stressing how the ability of AI agents to develop norms without explicit programming has significant implications for designing AI systems that align with human values and societal goals.
