"The conclusion is clear: Israel is committing these acts with the intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is committing genocide. We also found that not only is the genocide in Gaza the most documented in history, but the EU and many of its member states are failing to prevent it."

ZuBidasoa doktoretza-ondoko ikerketa proiektu bat da, migratzaileen beharretara egokituko diren hizkuntza teknologiak modu parte hartzailean garatzea helburu duena.

Proiektua EHUko HiTZ zentroaren eta CNRSko IKER (UMR5478) zentroaren artean garatzen ari da, 3-4 urteko epean.

I have opened an account for promoting my current research project. If you are interested in migration and language technologies, follow @zubidasoa.bsky.social

(Most of the messages will be published in Basque. If needed, in-house MT works fine enough for translating into high resource languages.)

AI real talk. We (humanity) are moving full speed ahead at building AI agents for war that can create a runaway missile crisis of mutually assured destruction globally.

Is the option of not allowing AI agents to deploy missiles already off the table, or is that still up for discussion?

While we look forward to a sunny Geneva, why wait to join the conversation?

We’ve created a starter pack for our #GITT2025 friends!

Brilliant work @darakerr.bsky.social!
