If you know a 🚨 Scholar at Risk 🚨 please share!

I am delighted to share that applications are now open for the MAXMINDS mentoring program. This initiative supports researchers who have been displaced, or are at risk of displacement, due to war or natural disasters, and who currently have limited access to resources and institutional support.

It is open to scholars at all career stages and offers tailored mentoring – from guidance on applications for positions, fellowships, or guest programs within the Max Planck Society, to support based on the research interests of both mentors and mentees. Mentoring will last at least three months, with the option to extend to six.

Apply here: https://t.co/pK19YQF1dh

The deadline to apply is September 15.

Please share this opportunity with researchers who may benefit. Those interested in joining as mentors are warmly invited to contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Scandals over #AI in #welfare are growing. Our @NatureComms paper reveals core issues:
1️⃣ Aggregating public views hides vulnerable voices
2️⃣ Even well-meant AI builders can fail bc they misread claimants’ views
🚨We need co-design, not only consensus.

AI scare you, but can you scare it?

Check out our new Halloween AI project. Each AI has a different phobia. You can try to spook the machine by crafting a prompt to generate an image.

We are giving away $ prizes for the best images.
