Een handige samenvatting van de #richtlijnen rond het gebruik van #generatieveAI bij de Vlaamse #overheid. De volledige richtlijnen, goedgekeurd op 1 februari 2024 door het Stuurorgaan Vlaams Informatie- en ICT-beleid, vindt u bij @digi_vlaanderen: vlaanderen.be/digitaal-vlaan…

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

At the @PoliticoEurope Competitive Europe Week event on #TechAI, @carmeartigas, 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

At the @PoliticoEurope Competitive Europe Week event on #TechAI, @LucillaSioli, 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 @POLITICOEurope's event on "Tech & AI as a driver for growth" #techAI (politico.eu/competitive-euro…) 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

In the panel "Next generation digital government" at #SEMIC2024, @mikmat68 says that we need a standard EU trust mark (digital-strategy.ec.europa.e…) for #trustworthy #AI, if we want the citizens to have trust in government decisions that have been made automatically by AI algorithms

In the panel "Next generation digital government" at #SEMIC2024, @MBAndrijanic 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: #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

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

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!

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 @digi_vlaanderen, where I will be moderating a workshop on semantic #interoperability for #AI #semic2024

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

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

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 ...

Op de #AIinspiratiedag bevestigt de spreker van @ml6team 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!
