Check out the website and the schedule: …mputationalcognitivescience.github.io/tm-workshop/ Registration is open! (spaces are limited) 🧵1/n

I really enjoyed that. ☺️ Great work by Iris van Rooij 💭 of course as always giving a really fun and insightful talk. There are previous versions of it online if people missed it, link below.

PSA: If someone says their work/research/teaching is in “Ethics in AI” and they do not actively engage with social injustices caused by AI, nor with the work of marginalized scholars in this area, then they are not, in fact, doing Ethics in AI at all.

I love that we've taken computers - a machine designed exclusively to do math - and taken away the ability to solve gradeschool math problems and all it cost us was the amazon rainforest

📢 The online #CriticalAI seminar series returns ✨Anna Schjøtt Hansen Tobias Blanke and I are thrilled to announce the program of the 24–25 series🙌 ✨Once again, open to everyone to critically engage with, critique and challenge #AI regimes across different fields of application

Students at Radboud University have built an art installation on a busy walking bridge on campus to get students and staff to confront our continued complicity in the genocide of the Palestinians. Inspiring. Don't stop until a boycott.

📢 Onderwijs en onderzoek zijn cruciaal om de grote vraagstukken van onze tijd aan te pakken! Toch bezuinigt het kabinet-Schoof €1 miljard op hoger onderwijs en wetenschap. Wij komen in actie tegen deze bezuinigingen! Teken jij ook de petitie? campagnes.degoedezaak.org/campaigns/stop…

@andrea_e_martin has been awarded a Consolidator Grant by European Research Council (ERC) for her proposal 'DYNALANG: Integrating structure and statistics in language processing: an ecological neural dynamics and manifolds approach'.

On Monday six staff and students (me inc.) were hunted down on a bus, arrested, and held for 30 hours in isolated police cells at the direction of Radboud University security. For nothing other than the crime of wearing a kufeya. It was deeply traumatising for all (1/2)

We want accountability from Radboud and the police. This is not an isolated incident. It represents the increasing draconian approach to protest on campus and cosy relationship between uni and the police. Please sign and spread this letter started by staff docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

One of the students who was arrested and went through the same ordeal, and who is an incredible presence on campus, cannot afford the extortionate racist fees for international students so has to leave studies early. Please if you can donate to her. gofundme.com/f/donate-to-he…

Please sign this if you support academic freedom and are against profiling. My university is backsliding into weird ideological and practical territory. When do we know it's gone too far? I don't know when but we're past that point now. This is utterly ridiculous and disgusting.

A student and I who were wrongfully arrested by police and Radboud University security in december have written an op-ed explaining its impact and how it reflects a scary authoritarian trend at universities which remain complicit in genocide gelderlander.nl/regio/oproep-a…

Everybody, feel free to sign this even if you are not NL-based and ‼️ share ‼️ (anonymous signature is poss): Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia (link below)

"The teachers say that AI applications such as chatbots are being 'hyped' and warn that they are merely products of the technology industry, which — like the tobacco and oil industries — is only interested in profit." Link to article and related open letter below.

A brave action in #Nijmegen at the #4Daagse, in a context where so much money and fake narratives are used to support militarization, genocide and exploitation. We should think about what we are really celebrating or honoring with those events. gelderlander.nl/vierdaagse/act…

A huge applause for the activists. Reminding the huge party and celebration of privilege (and also military) that we are all allowing a genocide to happen without a care in the world. ✊🏽✨

This should be an international scandal about Erasmus University. The head of the ethics committee at Erasmus School of Law has been openly supporting #Genocide, but the university sees no problem and is even silencing the person peaking up. Schaam jullie allemaal. linkedin.com/posts/ahmed-ma…
