Today I spoke at the plenary session of the iBOF conference on futureproofing human rights on lack of attention & knowledge production in existing accountability mechanisms for more-than-human harms of digital crime control at sea and more specifically in the context of fisheries crimes.

De vbn tonen aan hoe de traditionele individualistische aanpak gericht op bewijzen van grensoverschrijdend gedrag bij individuele cases niet werkt en er een verschuiving moet komen naar een focus op relationele schade. The impact is enorm en leidt tot langdurige psychologische schade en angst #pano

Proficiat @tijd.be om ook andere niet hype stemmen over #AI naar voor te brengen. Voorpagina vandaag: Patti Maes: AI is nog altijd niet slim of betrouwbaar

Wonderful exhibition in the Design Museum in London on ‘more-than-human’!

Weer een bezorgde opinie over academische vrijheid in de krant. Deze bezorgdheden moeten toch echt in een breder perspectief geplaatst worden. Het valt allemaal wel mee en deze opinies geven vooral animo aan de conservatieve anti-woke club

Excited to talk in the panel "The role/position of humans in an #AI - driven world, now and in the (near) future?" this morning at the International Conference for an Inclusive Digital Society (IDS2025) at KULeuven! I will talk about ethics-by-design and the need for a “more-than-human” perspective

Here we go #eurocrim2025. Holding the conference at a US institution in Athens with American security measures that you would expect at an embassy does not feel right especially considering the current human rights violations happening in the US.

Fijn dat er aandacht @demorgen.be is voor het nieuwe #chatcontrol voorstel. Wat hier wordt gezegd door een medewerker van Child Focus klopt echter niet. Online Platformen zjn verplicht om dit te doen in het kader van de Digital Services Act zie bv www.coe.int/en/web/cyber... #CSAM

These panels are part of a collection of 7 panels and a book panel on digital criminology at #EUROCRIM2025 that I have coordinated with Mareile Kaufmann and @marcschuilenburg.bsky.social #digitalcriminology #criminology #crimsky
