Amazing job @jhackenbuchner.bsky.social @jdaems.bsky.social @chiaramanna.bsky.social @bsavoldi.bsky.social @evavnmssnhv.bsky.social! You made also this third edition of @gitt-workshop.bsky.social energizing (despite the heat 🫠) and inspiring! I really wish I could have been there with you 😍
And that's a wrap on a very hot 🥵 yet very rewarding #GITT2025
💭 We need more languages, better quality estimation, and intersectionality
😍 Thanks to everyone who was there, presented, contributed to the discussion, and helped with practicalities.
🌞 Enjoy the rest of @mtsummit2025.bsky.social!

🔍 Stiamo studiando come l'AI viene usata in Italia e per farlo abbiamo costruito un sondaggio!

(è anonimo, richiede ~10 minuti, e se partecipi o lo fai girare ci aiuti un sacco🙏)

Ci interessa anche raggiungere persone che non si occupano e non sono esperte di AI!
