Cruciaal voor behoorlijk bestuur, de rechtsstaat en veiligheid is dat de vinger stevig aan de pols wordt gehouden bij digitalisering. Een taak voor een nieuwe minister van Digitale Zaken, menen @marleenstikker, @geertjan, Jelle van der Ster en Serv Wiemers.

What a piece by @danmcquillan.

Like Dan I believe we need to talk about "AI" as a political movement that dresses itself up in the language of tech and innovation. A move towards less embodied, context-rich lived knowledge and experience towards empty shells of "data"

Excited to have co-authored a major piece of the #ShapingAI project. Our piece, Freezing out: Legacy media's shaping of AI as a cold controversy, that I think is a reflection on the dynamics that have made AI's controversiality uncontroversial in Canada.

Read it here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20539517231219242

And please share.

Thanks to Guillaume Dandurand and Jonathan Roberge too for co-writing!
