Sometimes AI Isn’t the Enemy — It’s the Support You Need— Not every hard moment needs a solution. Sometimes it just needs space—and unexpected support.

From factories to hospitals, our robots don’t just work — they collaborate.

Smarter moves. Safer operations. Stronger teams. That’s what it means to empower industry with intelligence. #RhodiumRobots #SmartAutomation #AIIntegration #HumanCenteredTech #FutureOfWork #RoboticsInnovation

Corporate social media broke the internet 😭

@taylorlorenz.bsky.social and @chaykak.bsky.social perfectly capture how algorithmic feeds and corporate surveillance have stifled the joy of casual posting. When every post is engineered for engagement, interactions feel performative, and platforms are designed to keep you endlessly scrolling, the internet loses its personal touch. Corporate social media has commodified connection, turned spontaneity into strategy, and reduced authenticity to performance.

 But there's a way out: FOSS and the Fediverse. By embracing open-source software and decentralized platforms, you're not just avoiding surveillance—you're reclaiming control. You dictate what happens to your data, curate your own feed, and shape your online experience.

Envision an internet where you can share a silly thought, a random photo, or a half-baked idea without worrying about it being algorithmically buried or monetized. That's the promise of the Fediverse. It's not a utopia, but it's a significant step forward.

My latest post hits a crucial point: we can't just be critics of technology. We have to be active participants in building a better digital world.

The real question isn't whether to use AI, but how to use it ethically.

Dr Rosalie Waelen, a Senior Researcher from the Netherlands, joined the Institute for Science and Ethics (IWE) to advance research on the labor and environmental impacts of AI. Waelen’s research addresses the human labor that powers AI. While AI is frequently viewed as an automation tool that replaces human jobs, many overlook the substantial human effort required to build and maintain these systems.

Do you know what Industry 5.0 is about? 🏭⚡

In practical terms, Industry 5.0 combines AI, robotics, and cognitive computing with human expertise, ensuring that employees and leaders remain at the heart of processes. It’s not just about efficiency — it’s about meaningful work, better problem-solving, and continuous learning.

Let’s talk and start building tomorrow, today.

Calling all software developers and designers! We're launching a new conference in October in Helsinki: Oh the Humanity!

OH!2023 is human-centric developers' conference for people who are interested in helping humanity thrive by supporting the well-being, information sharing and democracy in software development and beyond.

The CFP is now open and we'd love to have your talks!

"... #solarpunk is able to distinguish between developing technology for health and hapiness and developing technology for its own sake. In this way, a solarpunk world is one where lifesaving medical technology not only exists but is prioritized and abundant."
