The AI Paradox by @vdignum.bsky.social is “a nuanced, hopeful vision of a future with human intelligence amplified, not overwhelmed, by machine intelligence.” Read the full Kirkus review:

Trump’s AI plan swaps ethics and environmental safeguards for unilateral dominance, betraying the human‑centred cooperation the world needs. Unilateral AI domination jeopardizes us all. #AI #ResponsibleAI #AIforAll #AIgovernance #globalAI www.linkedin.com/posts/vdignu...

#AI for Good of who? of whom? Thank you @abeba.bsky.social for denouncing this charade and say loud and clear what many of us commenting on: #ITU's summit is more about washing than responsibility #aiforgood

@unistuttgartiris.bsky.social presents its work to our wonderful advisory board - @vdignum.bsky.social, Bob Williamson, and Jens Birkholzer. @csindermann.bsky.social gave a great about the biases of people when seeking information from large-language models.

Going completely out of my comfort zone, I'm sharing this short scifi I just wrote, when challenged to imagine a possible future where all AI development and use is responsible. Comments are much welcome, but be gentle 😊, never attempted writing fiction before... www.linkedin.com/pulse/click-...

Every time we think he cannot get worse, Trump manages go lower than lower. Lies, intimidation, shouting... schoolyard bullies, that is what 'disrespect' really means. It is now time for a united front, the US is changing sides, we need to be strong with Ukraine. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I argued yesterday with both a head of a law department who'd written a book on AI accountability and a young PhD student, neither of whom really understood how or when to use generative AI. Please consider this a draft and give me feedback or other links. joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/2025/02/gene...

Great news but it is beneath Europe's values to call it a race. As a race, it will have only loosers, no one wins. We need is a collective exploration. There are many unexplored paths to take, there are many strenghts, multidisciplinary, to apply. We are in it together, not against each other.

But the big problem is that production seems to have gotten decoupled from any useful measure of progress. There is a whole science-of-science literature hand wringing about the fact that scientific production has increased ~exponentially but progress has not accelerated and has even slowed down.

I'm not at Paris #AIActionsummit, but here are my thoughts: Leaked statement lacks urgent AI governance and misses key issues like power imbalances and current and future harms. We need real, global action, not more words. www.linkedin.com/posts/vdignu... #AI #AIgovernance #ResponsibleAI

This morning I want leaders in Europe and the 🇪🇺 to stand up for European values, be in action mode, be calm AND courageous, show unity, provide reassurance, and show empathy. Thank you.

A historical day?! Should I be sad, horrified, outraged, all of it? Watching a president, no, a full-on dictator, signing decisions to a cheering mob of thousands? Freeing criminals, criminalising innocent, and torching the planet's future? A list of all he signed: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

It was fun and very interesting to give this interview to Expresso magazine, a long-read where I could discuss many of the core issues on current #AI and #AIgovernance developments. expresso.pt/semanario/re... Thanks to the journalists Andre Manuel Correia and Rui Duarte Silva!

De humanitaire ellende in Gaza is volkomen onverteerbaar. Toch blijft dit kabinet de misdaden van de Israëlische regering steunen. Vandaag laten we massaal weten: dit mag niet in naam van alle Nederlanders gebeuren. Daarom, premier Schoof: ‘Niet in mijn naam.’ #nietinmijnnaam

Australian #lawyers “cannot safely enter” confidential or commercially sensitive information into public generative #AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok, authorities in three states have warned in issuing explicit guidelines on genAI’s use in law. Read more: ia.acs.org.au/article/2024...

High-risk systems get explicit requirements not only for explainability but also contestability! It is good to see a distinction between the two processes/ values (see our work with Aler Tubella, Michael, and @vdignum.bsky.social: arxiv.org/abs/2006.05133 ) 4/5
