Dr. Almira Osmanovic Thunström is a Swedish neuroscientist and pioneer in digital psychiatry and AI ethics. Holding a PhD in Medicine, she has led digital health initiatives at Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Chalmers Industriteknik, researching VR and AI-driven treatments for psychiatric disorders.
She gained international recognition for high-profile experiments exposing AI vulnerabilities. She directed GPT-3 to author a peer-reviewed paper about itself and later orchestrated the “Bixonimania” hoax, tricking AI models and human researchers into diagnosing a fictional disease to highlight scientific misinformation in a landmark Nature study.
