Europe choses science…and beauty!

I cannot wait to see the new @EU_ScienceHub HQ get off the ground.

It will be guided by the principles of the New European Bauhaus.

Historic!

The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI 🇪🇺

The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook — it's a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race.

The best is yet to come! 👍

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

💬 We have a message for you, and rest assured, it is not #AI-generated.

Welcome to the world’s first-ever rules on #ArtificialIntelligence!

✅ Today’s political agreement on the 🇪🇺 #AIAct will ensure AI develops in a human-centric, transparent & responsible way.

#Soil is the foundation of our ecosystems

🐛 It hosts biodiversity

🥕 provides food

💧 cleans water

🌱 and captures carbon

That's why the EU Soil Observatory collects data on soil health across the EU and makes it available online ↓

Fantastic day of rich and intense exchanges at #ESPAS during which we
 
➡️ identified long-term global trends
➡️ assessed their impact on the EU
➡️ mapped strategic choices for Europe in the period up to 2040

Stay tuned for the 4th ESPAS Global Trends Report in spring 2024!

Final and highly important session of the 2023 annual #ESPAS conference 👇

[EU Joint Research Centre @EU_JRC]

In our final #ESPAS session “People Power: How to roll back authoritarianism?”, we’re discussing democratic backsliding – a global trend along with the rise of authoritarianism.

🗨️ We’re hearing from @KalypsoNicolaid @ricbdc @shada_islam and more

[Eticas.ai | AI Audits @EticasAI]

"#AI always pushes out #outliers, which is anyone who’s not a white middle-aged man. So anyone in the audience right now who’s not a white middle-aged man is being treated #unfairly by AI systems.

That is the rule that we find when we #audit AI systems” - @gemmagaldon at #ESPAS

[EU Joint Research Centre @EU_JRC]

We're now joined by @epispheric @ThPellerin @YDagnet & @HeatherGrabbe for “Socio-economic challenges of the green transition in the face of global climate trends”🌱

Countries can't address climate change on their own. It's a global challenge - poorer countries need help.

In our second session at #ESPAS 2023, @ConStelz @m_huotari @merics_eu @RosaBalfour and @sbeverts @EU_ISS are discussing:

"What will power look like in 2040? Fragmentation and power shifts"

[Stephen Quest @stephen_quest]

Great opening to #ESPAS 2023 from @MarosSefcovic and @MarcAngel_lu

🔹importance of action oriented #foresight - “make it useful”
🔹ensure foresight impacts #policy by baking it into the policy process
🔹foresight as a collective process: the power of working #together in ESPAS

[Stephen Quest @stephen_quest]

Important messages from @AnnaLuehrmann at the #ESPAS 2023 opening panel:

🔹we have to ensure that #foresight translates across into policy action
🔹we need to be more #agile in our responses
🔹foresight can help overcome the risk of #present thinking #bias
