Most providers of AI companion #chatbots blatantly infringe the law. Therefore, we decided to file a (1) data protection & (2) consumer law complaint. We also launched a website to publish the #complaints & raise awareness about the risks. All info here: saicc-website.vercel.app/blo…

Tomorrow @EP_SingleMarket will vote on a number of amendments to the @EU_Commission's #CSAM proposal. Before you vote, I would like you all to watch this video of a panel discussing the proposal at #CPDP2023 last month - it is incredibly important. youtube.com/watch?v=5DLQE7AG…

On April 13th I got an email from a stranger, @FayadMulla He was on Lesbos & had footage from 2 days prior showing migrants getting rounded up on land & ditched in the Aegean by the coast guard Did I want to see it? If you think the answer was an easy "yes," you're wrong.

For too long media coverage of tech & AI has been defined by white tech barons and their PR machines. Today I join @safiyanoble @timnitGebru @dalitdiva @nighatdad @arzugeybulla @Nanjala1 @joana_varon & others to call for a more inclusive conversation. freepress.net/sites/default/…

LEAK I got my hands on a draft of the #AI Liability Directive that the Commission is due to present later this month. The key idea is to introduce a rebuttable presumption in case of breaches of the AI Act and other rules. euractiv.com/section/digital…

The central question. Are Europeans willing to face some rationing of gas to bring the Russian economy to its knees in weeks? We didn't loosen our addiction their gas when we should have. A small price now to help save #Ukraine ?
Who are the heartless people bankrolling this invasion? WE ARE. This morning, Europe is asking Russia for more Gas. Gazprom is sending it. Putin must be having a laugh with these "sanctions".

Belgium deserves a strong and independent DPA and there is some finishing required here. At stake is the safeguard of our fundamental rights. Government and Parliament should take this seriously. #dataprotection #DPA # lnkd.in/epVEm6XF
