Die öffentliche Vergabe ist einer der zentralsten Hebel die wir als Gesellschaft haben, um notwendige Veränderungen in unsere IT #Infrastruktur herzustellen.

Mehrere Millionen Euro jährlich für Lizenzkosten von closed Software sind insbesondere bei Einsparungen im öffentlichen Haushalt absolut unverantwortlich.

Again — humanities matter intrinsically, but are of critical importance as we redefine social roles and goals in light of titanic technological, geopolitical, and climatic change. #dighum @[email protected]

#GenAI is just a kind of weird summarisation of existing knowledge–like a novel interface onto a library. Human culture does not contain all the facts in the universe. GenAI is not in itself a means to advance knowledge; it's a means to retrieve certain kinds of information we already have. #digHum

Ursula Rosenbichler @[email protected] complains re people trying to fix AI with AI, also a laughable moment from Altman in the opening film as well as a bad thing I've heard in DE. They should read my 2024 blogpost #digHum specifically– Will generative AI be omniscient if we give it enough? No 1/2

2024 BRIEF overview on LLM / "...

ha ha–Klemens Himpele: "most #dighum harms people worry about do not come from government AI eg addiction, doomscrolling &c this is because WE DO NOT WANT YOUR ATTENTION! We want you DOWN from our website!" This is a GREAT panel, way bleeding edge conversations #digitalisation #govtech #AIEthics

Repairing AI: How Breakages of Algorithmic Systems Reveal Repair Efforts and Possibilities for Renewal

Experience in Utrecht. Fantastic last panel (for me) at #dighum : Empowering public institutions

A #dighum #dighum2026 special – I've put all my thoughts about about "hyperscalers" and allegedly US AI in one place.

Featured a bit is @[email protected] of course

"Quantifying returns on digital inclusion is not turning people into numbers. It's defending exclusion from the accusation there's no numbers." Sophie Woodville really said something more beautiful, but memory :-/
Workshop Measuring Digital Humanism:
Designing indicators for Digital Humanism #digHum

support high public value uses: eg climate health education
prevent and nitigate harm: bias, opacity, unfair profiling. -- she is in favour of age limits on social media)
ensure fair returns: taxation benefit sharing community return
She's against invidiual level monitisation, selling own data, but need group level ...oops, maybe I'll come back and fix this later., just found it now #dighum

I was a bit late to hearing Bruce @[email protected] apparently read my slides at #digHum . Also repeating Moshe Vardi from yesterday too. (The utility thing I'm blogging about today because of some "interest" I got yesterday from the iaea.) Ironically, he's saying #genAI makes us all sound the same.

McKinzie & al. are the ultimate complicit actors, pushing everyone into the cloud, changing what states are about, making governments just providers of services, not places where we collectively make decisions. This undermines democracy. #digitalGoverance #AIEthics

#dighum Rikap: the world's largest companies are extractive monopolies, some of nature directly, others via culture & knowledge.
I loved this because it's not just AI and cloud, but also pharma, consultancies, insurance companies etc. which I'd noticed commonality before but not put this name to it.

Reminder, look for #dighum to get both versinos of my posts. Apparently there's also a #dighum2026 #tag which like why?? Why don't you want us to access your other dighum efforts too? Besides that it takes more characters! Anyway, @[email protected] gave an awesome keynote, more on that…

#Dighum brings me back to a beautiful building in Vienna, where I was working some years ago as a Senior Scientist on media accountability.

OK, I've bounced to the third track. The speaker is trying to turn the conversation from public interest to public value which is actually more genius than it seems at first blush – let's quantify how we redistribute, not just say there's "interest" #dighum

I promised to promote this book again by @[email protected] to #dighum and @[email protected] bsky.app/profile/j2br...
I also have a blogpost about legal personality & otherAI regulatory evasion deployment, because @[email protected] asked joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/2025/09/pier...

#dighum Chowhurdy #digitalGovernance #AIRegulation

In the US IVOs are being mandated by states – independent verification organisations. No clear pathway to economic viability for IVOs, she calls for #AIAuditing to become boring.

Her final slide: Can you prove it?

In q&a she seems to be critiquing plurality in regulation, and justifies it with the google(r's, actually) moat leak, since GAFAM+ then tried to create political moats.

Chowdhury – AI vendors right now only promise speed & efficiency, never quality. She is pushing for "structured auditing." She calls for #accountability #infrastructure. (I still hear her Accenture employee in how she presents & pushes her services, though it's super good to know. #dighum #AIAudits

I put bunch of Chowhurdy on my main account, follow both or the #tag #dighum #AIEthics

She does a great job of talking about everything practical you need to do that hardly anyone does. I'm not great at these kinds of points because I don't want to know people can't see this. Like the 1st point here on how "messed up" it is to have e.g. recent employees [presumably huge stock holders] be the new "independent" evaluator. Use the same standards as nuclear or even academia for independence!

Chowdhury is hitting a lot of great points – #AIFraud : sit your relatives down & teach them not to believe calls that sound and even look like you, to hang up and call you back to check.
