Hintergrund: Midjourney Prompt: A stylish, ethereal image blending futuristic technology with fantastical landscapes. Imagine intricate circuits forming ancient ruins on an alien planet, glowing data streams flowing like rivers through a bioluminescent forest, and towering skyscrapers constructed from crystalline data structures, all bathed in an aurora of analytical light. The aesthetic should be a harmonious fusion of cyberpunk sleekness and fantasy wonder, with subtle hints of human ingenuity and critical thought. High detail, volumetric lighting, rich color palette with neon accents, cinematic, thought-provoking, 8K, concept art. Text: Call for Abstracts.

Wien war diese Woche der Hub für Technikfolgen-Expert:innen aus der ganzen Welt - wir freuen uns und bedanken uns bei allen Teilnehmer:innen für diese gelungene Veranstaltung! #technologyassessment

For strong and independent voices! OEAW President Heinz Fassmann is opening the first global conference on #technologyassessment in the stunning main hall at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna. Welcome! @oeaw.bsky.social

Screenshot of a Tweet from Keir Starmer saying he knows AI can improve lives and save lives.

Lengthy quote of Noam Chomsky comparing the human mind with Chat GPT and its AI ilk. He see the human mind as elegant, efficient, seeking explanations. He sees Chat GPT as lumbering plagiarism software, not intelligent.

But #AI can - and is - also damaging lives. It is not intelligent by any reasonable definition, as Chomsky explains. Let's be broad and balanced in our #technologyassessment and beware of techno-optimism #KeirStarmer.

Futures are often linked to imaginatries in #STS and #Technologyassessment. However, prototypes not only promise futures, but assume futures (e.g. of flying cars, autonomous driving).
