The discussion about #AI and #Governance in a fragmented, multipolar world remains a challenge, especially for multilateral institutions like the #UN #DigitalGovernance www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Good reminder from the #US that developing, buying and procuring a #technology does not automatically lead to effective adoption #AI #drones www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Mit diesem Abstimmungssonntag kann man kaum zufrieden sein. Neben den unnötigen und teuren Anliegen in Zürich macht mir vor Allem das knappe Ja zur #eID Sorge.

Holy moly! Great work here by @zackwhittaker.com @sarahp.bsky.social

How well prepared are we against drone incursions? Not prepared enough. Some thoughts in ZDF mittagsmagazin

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

We must move past a simplistic view of techno nationalism and embark on the challenging work of establishing digital infrastructures that are powerful, participatory, transparent, and fundamentally accountable to the people they serve, writes Vaibhav Chhimpa.

This continues to be a recurring theme -_- Why is consumer agency so scary to the market? Noticed the same trend when I worked at Twitter: the personalization team cared for engagement metrics way more than actually showing users what they wanted to follow: “people don’t know what they like”

Thnx @nbcnews.com @scottbudman.bsky.social for speaking with me abt the TikTok deal to prevent a ban of the US platform. Is it a trade deal? Is it just Trump brokering a win for his image? Will it change things? Whatever unfolds, here are the stakes for users: www.nbcbayarea.com/news/nationa...

Strong words in this joint statement of Germany's 17 state-level DPAs about the national law implementing the EU AI Act, accusing the Federal Government of weakening fundamental rights protection.

EU integration has historically been a top-down project. That may be changing. On defense, in particular, voters seem to be willing to go further in advancing EU sovereignty than its economic and political elites. 👉 With @alanderminna.bsky.social for @politico.eu www.politico.eu/article/vote...

Many now talk about 21st-century indie with pitying nostalgia—but its artistic influence is ongoing. @skornhaber.bsky.social on a new book that argues how indie rock shaped a generation of listening preferences:

In the wake of numerous reports of interactions with AI chatbots that resulted in deadly consequences, the Center for Democracy & Technology's Dr. Michal Luria says AI firms should stop designing products that pretend to be human.

Neo-defense tech companies are selling both cheap mass and a vision of future war. This narrative warrants scrutiny.

“Europe’s digital future will not be decided in the server room,” writes Christian Klein. “It will be decided in the continent’s factories, its companies, large and small, and its public administration”

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Die EU hat seit Ende 2024 ein Cyberresilienzgesetz. Der Bundesrat will nun nachziehen und eine auf den Wirtschaftsstandort Schweiz angepasste Gesetzgebung entwickeln.
