I think the gist of warnings like this one is correct: we urgently need binding international regulations before use of AI does serious harm. I'm also concerned that the debate is being distorted by the language & framings that those in the industry have imbibed. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Special evening for me as I made true on a promise I made to myself after moving to Munich 5 years ago: to deliver a talk in German. I didn't think it would take place in Prague, though, and I certainly wouldn't have thought it happen after receiving the @gwmt.bsky.social's dissertation prize! ✨️
