Save the date! De #Trefdag24 vindt dit jaar plaats op 24 oktober en staat in het teken van verantwoord digitaliseren. Hebt u een inspirerend verhaal dat u op de Trefdag wil delen met digitaliserend Vlaanderen? Laat het ons weten via onze website ➡️vlaanderen.be/trefdag-vlaand…

Op de #AIinspiratiedag bevestigt de spreker van ML6 dat bij de #overheid heel wat meer #AI-toepassingen onder de categorie #hoogrisico zullen vallen dan bij bedrijven het geval is. Werk aan de winkel dus!

De deelnemers aan de #AIinspiratiedag zijn er in overweldigende mate van overtuigd dat de Europese #AI #regelgeving *niet* te streng is. De deelnemers komen dan ook allemaal uit de overheid ...

Participating in the #lailec2024 conference "Beyond the Rules: #Regulatory Frontiers of #AI and Data" (law.kuleuven.be/apps/activitei…) to learn more about the #challenges of implementing the #AIAct in practice

Meer dan 1000 deelnemers aan de 4de editie van #FlandersAIForum (flandersaiforum.be), georganiseerd door o.a. VLAIO en Departement EWI. Deze middag licht ik toe hoe de Vlaamse #overheid AI denkt te gebruiken in haar interne #werking en digitale #dienstverlening

On my way to the SEMIC 2024 pre-conference workshop day (semic2024.eu), preceding the yearly conference on #semantic technology, this year co-organized by Digitaal Vlaanderen, where I will be moderating a workshop on semantic #interoperability for #AI #semic2024

Good advice in the #SEMIC2024 pre-conference workshop on interoperability for #AI: if your citizen is capable of formulating a clear question a search engine will suffice, if not a #chatbot will be needed. 80% of users only enter 1 single word when querying a #government website!

Minister-president Jan Jambon opens the #SEMIC2024 conference (semic2024.eu) organized by Digitaal Vlaanderen, stressing the importance of standards and interoperability efforts to create successful European #dataspaces, as the basis of trustworthy AI use in government

"When we develop #digital services and increase #interoperability, we always need to have in mind the daily experiences of the user, including his or her (lack of) digital skills." Slovenian Minister of Digital Transformation (@digitalSLO) Emilija Emilija Stojmenova Duh at #SEMIC2024🎇

In the panel "Next generation digital government: #Interoperability solutions for automated, proactive public services" at #SEMIC2024, Tony Shannon, Head of Digital Services in the government of Ireland, says that we need to build better public services in a more #sustainable way

In the panel "Next generation digital government" at #SEMIC2024, Mark Boris Andrijanič says that #Ukraine has advanced faster in 2 years war time in #digitizing their government with DIIA (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diia) than most other European governments have achieved in 10 years peace time

In the panel "Next generation digital government" at #SEMIC2024, Mikko Mattinen says that we need a standard EU trust mark (digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/eu…) for #trustworthy #AI, if we want the citizens to have trust in government decisions that have been made automatically by AI algorithms

"With the rise of new technologies like #AI, administrations from all levels have a large interest in international cooperation on deploying the benefits of this technology and avoiding it becomes a nightmare." @_LuciaVelascoJ, AI Senior Policy Lead Follow @ODET_UN for the latest updates #SEMIC2024🎇

#SEMIC2024 Why not develop a European Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI) for sharing and reuse by Member States at federal, regional, and local levels - open, secure, sustainable, and citizen-centric. #InteroperableEuropeAct DIGIT 🇪🇺

At POLITICOEurope's event on "Tech & AI as a driver for growth" #techAI (politico.eu/competitive-eu…) businesses clearly demand #policy makers to take a step back and focus the next couple of years more on stimulating tech #innovation than on introducing new #regulation

At the @PoliticoEurope Competitive Europe Week event on #TechAI, lucilla sioli, head of the European AI Office, argues that the #AIAct does *not* overlap with the #GDPR. The GDPR is #complementary to the AI Act and should guarantee that AI uses data in a way that respects privacy

At the @PoliticoEurope Competitive Europe Week event on #TechAI, Carme Artigas, former Spanish secretary of state for digitalization and AI, points out that in Europe we already have enough tech #start-ups, but not enough tech #scale-ups that can become global tech #giants

By supporting the election of #Trump, Silicon Valley got what it wanted: A president that will kneecap antitrust efforts, embrace AI deregulation & defang labor laws, resulting in an era of surveillance capitalism, attempts to automate labor with AI & algorithmic discrimination
