@yolamtzm It would not be the book it's meant to be without you in it :)

[Siim Sikkut @sikkut]

Mom+Dad, I've made it - am quoted right next to almighty @brianeno in a book epigraph. Can't probably get any better than this. Thx for the honour, @rainerkattel @erkkikaro. Do check the book out if #publicsectorinnovation & #transformation is your thing: https://t.co/IjLmENG8Cg

Barbara Ubaldi - in more ways than one this book would not have been there without you! And appreciate your endorsement on the cover the more!

“We should start with the question of what Europe can do for #AI to win from it, not how to regulate it,” @ericschmidt @TallinnSummit #tds2022

[Siim Sikkut @sikkut]

Had a swell chance to chat on @TallinnSummit stage with @ericschmidt on where is #AI going, how we should embrace it - as societies & governments - incl. the need for united approach among likeminded democratic countries. Plus, is always good to meet a fellow @Princeton Tiger!
