The EU's common market is based on four freedoms: free movement of goods, services, labour and capital. We're still lacking the free movement of knowledge.
The next mandate should bring some news on the “Fifth Freedom”.
In this regard, this webinar by Knowledge Rights 21:
«Scientific Innovation and Growth—What should the EU do in its 2024-29 mandate to support research?»
After 2 years of having this Mac, I discovered today (from a Mac-owning colleague) that the top right button is for fingerprint ID. I could have been logging in with my thumb this WHOLE TIME!

⏹️ How are AI-driven technologies transforming the methods and nature of scientific research?
⏹️ What are the opportunities, limitations, and risks of these technologies for scientific research?
⏹️ How can stakeholders best support the development, adoption, and uses of AI-driven technologies in scientific research?

⏹️To avoid knowledge siloes, actions need to go beyond facilitating access (to computing resources, high quality datasets, AI tools and relevant expertise), and focus on enhancing capabilities to collaborate, co-design and use AI across different scientific fields and research environment.
⏹️ Open science principles and practices offer a clear pathway to improve challenging elements in AI-based scientific projects such as transparency, reproducibility, and public scrutiny.
⏹️ Ethical and safety considerations need to be centred in AI’s design and implementation. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary collaboration and building scientists’ capacity to anticipate risk and provide oversight that minimises potential harms.

"New portable solar power plants make it easier than ever to go off-grid. An entire plant of solar panels can be folded into a single shipping container.The power plant is easily deployed – and folded up again when it needs to move on."
Attacco agli ATM riuscito! Un Tasso del 99% di Efficacia Spaventa tutte le Banche Europee
Nello spazio #digitale si sta diffondendo attivamente un nuovo tipo di #malware#ATM. Il suo tasso di successo, secondo i suoi autori, raggiunge il 99%.
Questo #software dannoso, chiamato “EU ATM Malware”, è in grado di #hackerare quasi tutti gli sportelli #bancomat in #Europa e circa il 60% degli sportelli bancomat in tutto il mondo, il che rappresenta una #minaccia significativa per la sicurezza bancaria globale..

The AI Policy Exchange Forum is now live! A new platform for rapid, citable discussions on AI policy and governance. Join the debate and share your insights.
So…the “Slack will now train AI using your data” thing is not as much of a five alarm fire as I’d first assumed:
“We do not develop LLMs or other generative models using customer data.” ← GOOD.
“Data will not leak across workspaces.” ← Or so they say. They •are• training across workspaces, but sounds like recommender systems and not generative models, so…we’ll see. Seems fraught. Still, that public commitment does mean something — legal exposure, at least.
The bad news: platform owners don’t have a vision and are out of ideas for how to innovate their #ecosystems, all in the name of #efficiency.
To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum’s character from Jurassic Park: The most brilliant minds of #engineering are optimized to execute and have not bothered to consider whether they should.
The good news: “real” #innovation will happen from the experienced middle, not the top.

After watching OpenAI's presentation and, even more, an excerpt from Google's presentation yesterday, I asked myself: is this AI, according to the big tech companies (especially Google - for OpenAI it's their core business, so I understand their perspective), truly what users want and need, or is it just another method to lock people into using their technologies, which are not easily self-hostable?
I'm not arguing for or against it, but I noticed that (almost) the entire Google I/O yesterday was focused on this...
The UK has just completed commercial flight trials of quantum-based navigation systems that are designed to be immune to conventional jamming and spoofing.
