Multiple junior researchers have asked for guidance on being supportive yet are worried about repercussions. So I wrote this F.A.Q.

You must survive. We need you in the fight for the next few decades! Make choices accordingly (feel free to DM)

📣I’ll be recruiting graduate students for Fall 2024, and am actively looking for research interns and students at different levels! Interested in Machine Learning and Sensing, Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction Technologies - let's connect!

Visited @cornell_tech today, got a great tour of their robotics labs, tested their car simulator and got to see the results of the summer projects!

@acmdis2023 was a blast! Grateful for so many new connections and good conversations. Heading over to Washington DC and New York next 🚌

[Sonja 🍉🤖 @GrapeMind]

Today I will be presenting our paper on Sensing Care in instrumented spaces at @acmdis2023, on behalf of my lovely co-authors @robmakesthings @aditi_suranaa @l_youngsil and yuxi from @Dcode_EU. You can read the work online here: https://t.co/SrSGraEvsb

Very happy with my DC poster for @acmdis2023 💃Come by and have a look at all the neat projects we got the chance to present the last two days!

What a wonderful #DIS2023 doctoral consortium with such inquisitive students and faculty mentors! Check out their posters during the main conference! (Apologies photo doesn’t capture all participants) @corina_sas @chelsea00ny @acmdis2023

„Plans are useful fictions“ @katta_spiel is kicking off a great conversation around how to get this PhD manuscript done at the @acmdis2023 doctoral consortium that reminds us we are all just humans 💙

Just got into Pittsburgh, looking forward to explore a bit before attending my very first #DIS2023. I will attend the DC, present a poster AND a paper - hoping for many, many good convos 💃

Looks interesting! DCODE supervisor @quillis also has a section on privacy paradox. "The state of privacy is not a paradox, just an impossible state of affairs
rendering the individual helpless."

I will be in New York at the end of July. Who should I meet, to which events should I go and which labs/groups/cool places should I visit :)? Happy for any kind of connection to fellow researchers, designers and ethics enthusiasts!

This may be the "first (comprehensive) regulation on #ArtificialIntelligence" but it's certainly not the first regulation that *applies* to #AI.

In the wake of this news, let's not forget that there's no #AI exemption to the laws on the books.

@Nordes_conf Damn! I saw, thanks for picking it up anyway ;)
