I left X years ago.
Forgot how to do anything within a limited set of characters.
Need to remind my self how to post on this type of platform vs the others.
Or maybe just stop denying that I'm more of a long-form-type-of-gal.

I am mapping the GDPR, AI Act, DSA, and a bunch more against each other. Any resources that do some of them already that you recommend.

We really do need to mandate ethics training for developers wherever possible.
In my psych degree you could not do any experiment (beyond little in-group lab practices) without making a proposal and getting approval from an actual ethics board. I was doing this at 18.

The leadership and communications module is what I was least excited about in my LLM curriculum.
Turns out I was totally wrong. It’s essential for everything I do in life.
Leadership, communication, and negotiation. Good stuff to understand.

Know any start/scale ups or SMEs that started (within the last 5 years) in the EU and then left the EU or shut down?
Could you put me in touch?
I'm looking to speak to them in regards to what drove them out or had them shut down to support the research for my thesis.
