A Comprehensive ICT Energy Sustainability Policy: the EU needs to make a concerted effort to formulate a unified and comprehensive ICT energy #sustainability policy that will ensure the effectiveness of existing legislation: openfuture.eu/policies-for-t… 🧵7/8

🇪🇺 Our Seven Policy Interventions for the #DigitalCommons are live! The OpenFuture team has been working on these for a while. They are brief, well-argued, and supportive of the #OpenInternet. I hope this research-backed digital storytelling translates into legislation 👇

There has been a lot from us on the #DigitalCommons lately. Yes, we never stop ♻️ And if you want to participate in our upcoming Alignment Assembly on #AI and the #DigitalCommons 🔎 scan through this latest newsletter and click through the signup link! CC Shannon Hong 🦸

We have just launched a virtual, asynchronous assembly to deliberate on principles that could be used to regulate #genAI. We want to explore the perspective of open movement activists, researchers, creators - ppl interested in open sharing but with caveats ♻️ Sign up to take part

We host these monthly community calls about #AI and the Commons, and during the last one our special guest was @e_salvaggio 🦸 #DigitalCommons #genAI

So much is going out in February! If you are into understanding how the EU's policy talk (could) translate into preserving the internet's openness on an infrastructural (standards) level, join us this Friday 🔩 ⚙

During our last AI and the Commons Community call, we talked about deliberative #participation in the context of #AI governance. The starting point were Tim Davies - @[email protected]' lessons learnt from the People's Panel on AI - all community-builders check it out 👀 CC Connected by Data

Hi #AISauna, see you in a minute! 👋

It would be great if after this NYT mention #openwashing AI, OpenFuture’s and Alek Tarkowski’s work would gain relevant, new followers (💭#wishfulthinking), anyways — 👏🏻Alek!

#AIAct doesn’t say anything actionable about mitigating environmental costs of #AI technologies. Instead, it expresses hope that these costs can be mitigated and AI might help fight #ClimateCatastrophe👇🏻#TechSolutionism

Very happy we get to do this, 👏🏻 to @ZWarso especially! #climatejustice #digitalrights

The big digital commons family gathers today in #Katowice.
