Democratisch grip krijgen op onze AI-toekomst zou een politieke topprioriteit moeten zijn. Want: wie ongelijkheid wil terugdringen, de #NationaleVeiligheid wil beschermen, #polarisatie en #extremisme wil terugdringen zou het over AI moeten hebben. En nog vele onderwerpen.

Opinie | AI zou een politieke topprioriteit moeten zijn
Digitalisering en AI veranderen de samenleving ingrijpend. Nederland heeft dringend een strategisch AI-beleid nodig voor autonomie en veiligheid.

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday.
Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
