AI won’t “fix” healthcare. It shifts work and adds invisible data labour behind every algorithm. Tech doesn’t replace care; it reshapes it. We need to recognise the people who keep the system running.

Dutch singers’ voices can be recognized in the #AI-generated music of popular AI apps, even though they did not give permission for this. Associate professor @jpquintais.bsky.social talks about his research with @foliacivitatis.bsky.social. https://bit.ly/427A9ew @ivir-uva.bsky.social @algosoc.org
As EU-US relations change Europe must stand firm for the DSA
The DSA is imperfect, it cannot fix everything. But the DSA is a shield to defend European democracy.

Dutch universities rely on #BigTech for core processes, but at what cost? As the US shifts towards an anti-science climate, the risks of dependence on #Microsoft, #Google & #Amazon grow. It's time to build alternatives and reclaim digital sovereignty.

The project helps audiences navigate in a complicated information ecology.
Wat gebeurt er als een van de politiek machtigste mannen ter wereld de controle krijgt over een van de meest invloedrijke technologieën op aarde, vraagt AlgoSoc scientific director @natalihelberger.bsky.social zich af in de brief, die op 13 februari verscheen in het NRC.

Veel universiteiten zijn afhankelijk van grote Amerikaanse ict-bedrijven. AlgoSoc start in februari een proef met NextCloud op 5 NL-universiteiten om meer controle over data en #autonomie terug te krijgen.

Amerikaanse #socialmediaplatforms schaften #moderatie en #factchecken af onder het mom van vrijheid van #meningsuiting. Maar meningen worden juist steeds meer gemanipuleerd. De invloed van #bigtech reikt naar Europa, waar we afhankelijk zijn van hun #cloudinfrastructuren.
