10 (zehn !!1!) Jahre ist der NR-Talk von @spielkamp.bsky.social , @nettwerkerin.bsky.social, @kerstingaiml.bsky.social und mir her, um über Algorithmen & Kontrolle zu reden.

Es war einer der Impulse für @algorithmwatch.org, bei mir Anfang eines kleinen ;-) Umwegs zur KI. But: Finally there!

🙏 for the invitation to give a talk at the Causal Neuro-Symbolic AI (Causal-NeSy) Workshop at ESWC. Integrating causality, neuro-symbolic reasoning, and machine learning to build more robust, interpretable, and generalizable AI systems is so important.

Beyond the obvious: Digitalisierung „made in Europe“ ist die letzte Chance

Dass es in den 1980er-Jahren gelungen ist, den Mobilfunk-Standard GSM als globalen Standard zu etablieren, lag am gemeinsamen europäischen Vorgehen und einer Entscheidung.
