imagine a tobacco company urged governments to embed smoking a 'core component' of a healthy lifestyle
In Ireland, the Government has been urged to embed AI as a 'core component' of the education system after a study suggested that matching OECD levels of digital innovation could create 14,000 jobs and add €1.8 billion to GDP.
Who funded the study? Google. 🤔

AI should be a ‘core component’ of the education system, National Skills Council recommends
The council recommended a 'rethink' of investment into skills

As we celebrate international workers day, let's remember why Tesla was problematic waaaaay before Musk joined DOGE.

UAW wants to unionize Tesla. It faces a tough and high-profile battle with Musk
Pro-union workers are hopeful but realistic – and fear Musk’s previous ruthlessness towards workers trying to unionize

This is a super important point! We should just copy the US digital economy
The EU must aim higher than merely copying the US digital economy. It worries about being "uncompetitive" when it should worry about being subordinated. on.ft.com/4gvoCuF
The EU needs the courage to imagine a different digital economy

Problemet i Vesten er ikke, at medier er blevet vilde og voldsomme - jvnf. Pind/medieombudsmand. Det er snarere, at få stenrige aktører er ved at forvandle demokratier til kleptokratier, hvor den politiske proces er tiltagende performativ.
Men det er selvfølgelig lettere at løse imaginære problemer

Should we deregulate and move towards a US model for tech?🤔 No! We need to insist on a European alternative way forward. A way where our rights as citizens is taken seriously🤩 For me, there is no doubt that we are better off in Europe because of, e.g., the GDPR. www.version2.dk/artikel/stat...

Det er dog ikke kun en hæmsko for de europæiske virksomheder, at de tvinges til at leve op til store krav i deres produktion. Professor Marlene Wind, der forsker i EU, forklarer den europæiske models ...

Sad to see the acceptance of do-what-you-want-mentality when it comes to online data. The wide adoption of OpenAI (who just grab data without asking), pretty much legitimizes this behavior. So unfortunately, this is not very surprising... just sad that this is where we are. So much for #dataethics
New from 404 Media: Bluesky may have said it won't use user data to train generative AI, but someone else just published a dataset of million Bluesky posts for "machine learning research". Already very popular dataset, your data may be scraped www.404media.co/someone-made...

A Hugging Face employee made a huge dataset of Bluesky posts, and it’s already very popular.

I am all for exploring how AI can be utilized, but why does critical thinking not apply to how "GenAI is going to change the world"? The question seems to be "how do we put GenAI in our product" rather than "does GenAI add value to our product". Getting real blockchain vibes here! #genai #ai
