General election day in Denmark. I hope for the best for us, not least for all the first-time/young voters who struggle hard to figure out what is up and down and to find a voice. Photo from this years Young People's meeting - opinions come in many shapes, but they are important!

#SoniaLivingstone gave the welcoming keynote at #ECREA2022 on a huge and difficult topic: impact of research and on balancing the need for academic research freedom and integrity while also insisting on using evidence to impact decision makers. No one has done that like Sonia L.

Tendai Chari, uni. of Venda, South Africa, addressing an often disputed question: is internet access a human right? A citizen right? The question is relevant in a country (Zimbabwe) where internet shutdown (by the state)) is frequent. Could the Global north experience the same?

Margrethe Vestager, keynote at the "Ethics as guide in the AI-landscape" conference at ITU : Ethics cannot be a badge or a label that you stick on an AI solution when it is developed - you must start with ethics as the point of departure.

[Gitte Stald @gstald]

Relevant and timely conference at ITU about ethics as guide in the AI landscape. Among many distinguished and expert speakers is EU Commissioner Margrethe Vestager and our own professor from Center for Digital Welfare, Brit Ross Winthereik.
