Mmm, no mention of the gender breakdown but the panel will be 50% female, right? 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋♀️
The European Commission is set to select experts for the AI Scientific Panel, which will advise on implementing the AI Act. Europe’s new panel must prioritize world-class AI expertise, and younger voices shaping frontier AI over quotas, writes Kai Zenner.
Europe’s Advanced AI Strategy Depends on a Scientific Panel. Who Will Make the Cut? | TechPolicy.Press
The Commission should not blindly trust recommendations from member states, but rather lean forward to find the best candidates for the job, writes Kai Zenner.

To understand the implications of AI agents, powerhouse President of Signal Meredith Whittaker breaks it down. A must listen
Any excuse to hang out with @katie-drummond.bsky.social I'll take. This was so much fun!
I loved talking to Signal's @meredithmeredith.bsky.social, who is such a consistent, clear voice of sanity (and always a great interview).
We talked about (of course) SignalGate, what AI means for Signal, why tech bros continue to be such a disappointment, and much more. Read, listen, etc!

AI agents are coming for your privacy, warns Meredith Whittaker
The Signal Foundation’s president worries they will also blunt competition and undermine cyber-security
