Where social media were once hailed as an engine for democracy and connection, concerns now dominate: disinformation, mental health and a lack of control.
During a panel at the AAAS annual meeting, scientists reflected on possible solutions. I wrote about their ideas.

Robots understanding the physical environment as well as humans do is still a big challenge. To make robots smarter, MIT-professor Daniela Rus is developing ‘physical AI’: AI that really understands how the physical world works. I interviewed prof. Rus for this article:

Autumn Leaves

In mei 2023 publiceerde ik mijn boek over #AI: 'Slim, slimmer, slimst - Hoe kunstmatige intelligentie de mens een turboboost geeft'.

Het kreeg lovende recensie, verkoopt nog steeds goed en ik heb er inmiddels vele lezingen over gegeven.
