“The researchers aim to show that the ‘inevitability’ of AI is just a marketing frame perpetrated by the industry and that pushback is a lot more possible than we often see.” Yes!

Belgian AI scientists are advocating *against* the use of AI in academia. “If independent thinking is no longer encouraged at university, where would it?”

Happy to share our latest article on our ‘hate relationships’ research. This one uses geotrauma and haunting as lenses to make sense of the absences and presences involved in hate relationships.
