The misunderstanding here is that AI won't be able to further/extend knowledge, but will be restricted to the status quo of the trained data. If you want to pursue the search for knowledge and truth (and use it to train AIs) you necessarily need curious scientists. That's how humanity survived 🤷

Our team at the Leibniz-Institut has two 100% vacancies! Deadline is 23.03.2025!

Last week I've been invited to present the findings of our study on labeling obligations for edited/retouched photos in Berlin. Does research see a necessity for such an obligation, what would be the impact of such a label, and how could regulatory approaches look like? Insights soon. #photoshoplaw

Current surges in new (academic) Bluesky users and followers give me hope that there might be microblogging networks in the future where we connect, discuss and create insights in productive ways...

Ein schöner Beitrag von @sebmeineck.bsky.social bei @netzpolitik.org zur Problematik der Unterscheidung von Erotik und Pornographie, und was die unsichere Situation für Creator*innen bedeutet. Ich durfte Expertise beisteuern. Das ist auch ein Ruf nach mehr Orientierung durch die Aufsichtsstellen.

I am hiring a Post-Doc researcher for 12 months on a project on Political Incivility on social media with @gba and Sara Bentivegna. Deadline 4 December. Please share! See pp. 20-22 progetti.unicatt.it/progetti-ate...

Within the context of the SIKID research project we published an interdisciplinary analysis whether and how Article 28 #DSA can be seen as a systematic tool to introduce digital children's rights to platform due diligence. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10156939 #platformgovernance #childrensrights

"We need age assurance for children online." Still surprised about how little policymakers talk about how that means we will need age assurance for everyone. You, me, everybody, to inform ourselves from publicly accessible sources. We really need a debate how that is compatible with Art. 10 ECHR.

Looking forward to meeting everybody over here. For the second time. 🫶
