Recently a friend who works in acute youth mental health told me that their workplace is being pushed to use AI transcription and summary services with their patients.

I may have ranted. These patients are minors, at a public health service, who can't go elsewhere, and might even be mandated to use the service by a court - they obviously can't reasonably give consent. These notes might decide their futures, be seen by a judge or similar decision maker, be used to determine what future treatment they have. And we *know* AI fails to understand cultural difference. It is likely to miss nuances of slang, sarcasm, and over-dramatic (or under-dramatic) teen language.

The speed with which employers are falling over themselves to adopt AI, without concern for their patients, customers or staff, is mind boggling.

This is so niche and yet so relevant to my interests: "Kip is an experimental programming language that combines Turkish grammar rules with a type system. Case endings, vowel harmony, and other Turkish morphological features are an integral part of Kip's type-checking process."

📈 We’ve showcased many great projects throughout the week, many of which are developed by junior researchers and volunteer labour. If any of these are especially interesting to you, consider reaching out to offer support! This can take the form of contributions to the code base, helping promote the project, or even financial donations.

Even a small donation shows deep appreciation, and can help motivate labour performed largely by volunteers and precarious workers!

🌐 Do you publish your code properly?

While commercial platforms like GitHub and GitLab may provide very useful collaboration features, they should not be trusted as long-term stewards of software or data. Professional archives are better suited for this. There are some options. Check out our small intro 👉 https://sslarch.github.io/maintainathon/resources#archive-your-code-in-a-long-term-repository

#Altertumswissenschaften arbeiten heute ganz selbstverständlich mit #digital​en Tools – die #iDAIworld ist eines davon. Doch wer treibt diesen Fortschritt eigentlich voran?

#Archaeoinformatik_DAI, meet the team:

🔭 Something that always needs to be done, is documenting code. We all seem to lack behind in this task. So, why not take half an hour today to write a short documentation on one of your repositories? Just as a start? Read more about documenting code here 👉
