Conference proceedings from #ossym25 - Open Search Foundation

Open Search Foundation

#ossym25 Day 3 brought us an insightful talk on "Searching for Trust: Reflections on Epistemic Virtue Online", provided by Viivi Lähteenoja, CEO of The MyData Company.

Key learnings:
👉 Trust is a two-way relational concept
👉 Trust and Reliance are independent concepts, that are not mutually exclusive in web search
👉 A focus on virtue reduces the arbitrarity of trust with regard to inevitable "hinges".

Throwback to yesterday's keynote at #ossym25
Thank you to Harri Ketamo for sharing about the Headai products and services! Impressed by the deep research that went into building those comprehensive applications that put publicly available data to use to try and make better predictions about the future. 🔥
#ossym25 kicked off at CSC
🎙️Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy of the EC spoke on the need for a European open search ecosystem + AI solutions that offer users more choices & fosters innovation. The EU AI continent action plan focuses on this.
