Lina Ruth Harder

I'm a PhD Fellow at the University of Bergen’s Center for Digital Narrative, where I research how artificial intelligence is used to simulate historical figures. My work asks what happens when chatbots, voice clones, and AI-generated images become tools for cultural memory, education, and storytelling.

Before diving into research, I worked in communication and curation for federal museums in Berlin, Bonn, and Leipzig, shaping exhibitions and digital content. Today, I combine theory and practice to explore big questions: Who owns an AI-generated likeness? How do we handle bias and consent? What risks arise when archives remain silent or history gets rewritten by machines?

I’m bringing my work on AI, history, and ethics to audiences in the Netherlands, Brazil, and Norway in the coming year. My talks and lectures have taken me to the United States, Italy, France, and across Norway, and I designed and ran an online creative workshop with the Goethe Institute in Lisbon.
