EASAC attended the AI in Science summit in Copenhagen to discuss the responsible use of AI in science and shape advice principles. Also the @ec.europa.eu's RAISE (Resource for AI Science in Europe) initiative coordinating AI resources for data, talent and research funding across the EU was launched.

BREAKING: The EU Commission has released a mandatory template for AI developers to disclose training data. Unlike the Code of Practice, this is not optional. It could have global fallout, as rights holders abroad might use it to sue over copyright.

Acho que a @inessquecivel.bsky.social, o @tiagoserracunha.bsky.social e o Frederico Rocha teñen razón na súa análise xeral.
E saliento unha cousa que me chamou moito a atención: converter os votos do público á escala de 1 a 12 elimina moitos matices; é inxusto.

Please give your favorites in the comments so we could add them 🙏!

Still a bit biased to the 🇳🇱 so make it more 🇪🇺 😀. It’s up to you!

A new starter pack, reflecting the influx of new arrivals here. The 150 limit means that some who were in my previous pack have been bumped off (sorry - but the previous list is still available) & also that there's still no room some who messaged to ask to be included.

I created a starter pack focused on EU cultural/media policy. The idea is to include policymakers, academics and other stakeholders active in the field. Let me know if I’ve missed you/someone else

I've put together a starter pack for smart voices on EU politics

I learned a lot from these accounts on Twitter

There are gaps - either because I've missed people or because they're not yet on BlueSky, so pls send suggestions and I'll amend periodically
