SURVEY: FORSEE Research Project Seeking Civil Society Organisation views on AI

The EU-funded FORSEE project is seeking to better understand how AI systems can affect people differently - especially #women, #LGBTQ+ individuals, and other gender-vulnerable groups. Our mission is to analyse existing successful #AI applications to:

- Strategically enhance the capabilities of the #EuropeanAI industry, policymakers and the public.
- Address the future risks and opportunities of AI
- Help Europe retain a leading position in the AI landscape.

We’re inviting Civil Society Organisation workers and members to take part in this short 5–10 minute anonymous survey exploring awareness of these issues.

This aerial image from the 1960s shows that the 'yellow line' of Israel's redeployment in Gaza is roughly matching with the border of the area's coastal sand dune, leaving Gaza without the absolute majority of its agricultural areas on the fertile soils in the east.

In six states, Medicare will now require prior authorization for certain procedures. The government is hiring companies using AI to make those determinations about healthcare. This is exactly the same tactic that private insurers like UnitedHealth use to delay and deny treatment.
