Martin Brynskov

Martin Brynskov, PhD (CS), is an academic and digital standardisation expert at the University of Copenhagen, where he serves as scientific director of AI and Digital. He is currently writing a book titled “When AI Takes Your Place”, exploring how artificial intelligence reshapes institutions, infrastructure and everyday life as it unfolds in communities of different sizes. His research examines how people, machines and hybrid systems perceive, conceptualise and act together in shared environments, framed as Interaction Technologies within a Place-Based Computing paradigm.

Brynskov has led some of the world’s largest pilot studies on smart and sustainable cities and communities, focusing on connecting communities, data spaces, local digital twins, artificial intelligence and the internet of things. He is Standardisation Lead and former Founding Chair at the Brussels-based global NGO Open & Agile Smart Cities & Communities (OASC) with 193 members in 43 countries, co-chairs the Danish Standards committee on data management and data spaces, and represents Denmark in European and international standardisation work on data spaces, local digital twins and smart sustainable cities and communities.

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Dr Brynskov works globally as a researcher, innovator, educator and facilitator, bridging research, policy, standards and large-scale validation.
