@claesdevreese.bsky.socialMany said this in past weeks. Now NYT too
‘AI programs are not human; they are human creations. Their complexity does not diminish the responsibility of their creators. If the programs cannot be trusted to work within the law, the companies should not release them’ 🎯

@claesdevreese.bsky.socialTrump started a war against Iran, created ⛽️ shortage and price 📈 and now lifts sanctions against Russia and funds Putin’s war machine against Ukraine. And then gloats about it ahead of the midterms.
@claesdevreese.bsky.socialThe motivation of the @nobelprize.org Peace Prize is worth reading across the world.
To International law and institutions 🕊️
@claesdevreese.bsky.socialImmensely grateful and overwhelmed to receive the 2026 Stevin Prize at a deeply personal and festive award ceremony.

@claesdevreese.bsky.socialArtificial intelligence will change how we experience politics
@claesdevreese.bsky.socialThis is not good
Supporters of a conference should not determine the contents of the panels and program. And pulling out in response to US pressures is highly problematic
@claesdevreese.bsky.socialThere is something reassuring and energizing about being in Parliament and seeing the many school classes getting a tour, meeting representatives, seeing democracy in action

@claesdevreese.bsky.socialThe Russian actions are changing in nature, frequency, and impact.

@claesdevreese.bsky.socialAre social media good or bad for democracy? Majorities in most countries (still) say social media have been more of a good thing. All countries trend ⬇️
Majority in UK, Germany, France, The Netherlands say it has been bad for democracy.

@justinhendrix.bsky.socialReposted by @claesdevreese.bsky.socialUnited States President Donald Trump issues executive order instructing federal government agencies to "use the terms 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' in place of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' and will not acknowledge the usage of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in any applicable setting."

@claesdevreese.bsky.socialEach Russian aggression is horrifying.
Each casualty one too many.
As a scholar, this cowardly act against the Academy of Science is impactful.
