Du hørte kanskje at NTB publiserte en KI-generert melding sist uke. Visste du at KI-sammendraget endret sikkerhetstrussel fra fiendtlige statlige aktører til ekstemvær og aldrende teknologi? Slik ideologisk vridning viser at KI-bias kan være en sikkerhetsrisiko. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Naturforskere reagerer: Demokratisk falitt i naturpolitikken? Hvis våre folkevalgte kan legge flisespikkeri og politisk markeringsbehov til side og stemme for det de faktisk er for, er det fortsatt et glimt av håp om en mer kunnskapsbasert og virkningsfull handl...
