Johanne Jensen Skeie

Johanne is a PhD fellow connected to the Norwegian security policy in a strategic perspective-program, the Cyberprogram and the NDUC R&D-program Information warfare and data driven defense. Her doctoral project at IFS and NTNU explores the relationship between states and tech companies, especially through (military) artificial intelligence. 

She is also interested in how artificial intelligence affects international security, AI-security, and the military AI-strategy of states. She has, among others, written an academic book chapter entitled “Future military AI-systems: an entry to cyber sabotage” in the academic anthology Cyberpower. 

Johanne has also held several presentations and participated in panels about military AI and international and national security for several relevant stakeholders, including the NATO Defense College senior course, the Norwegian senior course at NDUC, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Norwegian Home Guard’s leadership course, the Norwegian National Security Authority’s security conference, Sopra Steria and the Norwegian Digitalisation Agency. 

She has an MA in International Security from Sciences Po Paris (2018) at the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA), and wrote her master’s thesis on the Norwegian military’s implementation of the UN security council resolution 1325 on women, peace, and security.
