AI Experts Say Weโ€™re on the Wrong Path to Achieving Human-Like AI An extensive report on the future of AI research indicated that there's skepticism about current approaches to AGI.

I was a member of the panel that produced this report. All of us have spent our careers working on AI. Amongst the hypesters that is probably seen as a disqualification for understanding anything about AI. gizmodo.com/ai-experts-s...

Trump mentioned education in Denmark in his remarks when dismantling the Department of Education.

Denmark has free public schools, no tuition fee in higher education, safe school environments, generally happy kids, a focus on social values, equity, inclusivity.

And a Ministry of Educationโ€ฆ

Finally picking up this one! Been looking forward to it. Rachel and colleagues' perspectives have been greatly enriching to our project on substantive equality in AI, and I can think of no one more apt to write this book.

Brake up with Fake News

Danish national lexicon will no longer advertise on social media. This decision follows Meta's decision to deprioritise fact-checking.

Going forward, Lex.dk will spend its advertising budget on independent, national media that are committed to democracy.

The Death of Net Neutrality Is a Bad Omen While Americans might not mourn the loss of net neutrality, an appeals courtโ€™s ruling sets a troubling precedent for consumer protections in every industry.

The internet neutrality struggles never go out of fashion, even if we are all all about AI nowadays. Worth keeping an eye on. www.wired.com/story/net-ne...

Apple denied wrongdoing, but settled. "The $95 million is about nine hours of profit for Apple, whose net income, was $93.74 billion in its latest fiscal year."

Tonight, my daughter asked me how the internet works. I happen to know a bit about this and have a book with a cute cat explaining it. We looked through it. She then said she wants be like this cat. To know how information travels and to tell it where to go. She is 4. Best bed time story of my life.
