Debby ‬⁂📎🐧:disability_flag:<a href="https://mastodon.social/@ErikJonker" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ErikJonker</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/geopolitics" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@geopolitics</a> This is such an important observation about how platform design shapes public discourse! It’s both fascinating and concerning to see how the same factual information can spark constructive conversation on one platform and devolve into disinformation on another. The contrast between Bluesky and X really underscores how algorithms and moderation policies influence the quality of dialogue.For me, the fediverse—especially Mastodon—has been a breath of fresh air in this regard. It feels like a space where facts and evidence-based discussions can thrive, rooted in a shared reality rather than outrage or misinformation. But I’m curious: Is this just my personal experience, or do others share the impression that Mastodon fosters a more fact-based discussion environment? Have you explored other platforms beyond Bluesky that prioritize constructive dialogue?It’s disheartening to see how platforms that prioritize engagement over accuracy can drown out meaningful conversations. While I’m fortunate enough to avoid Twitter/X and Meta, I recognize that transitioning to open-source, decentralized social networks isn’t feasible for everyone. This makes me wonder: How can we encourage more platforms to adopt models that foster informed debate rather than outrage? Supporting not-for-profit or decentralized alternatives might be part of the solution, but it’s a challenge that requires broader awareness and action.Thanks for sharing this—it’s a powerful reminder of how critical platform design is to the health of our digital public spaces!<a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/DigitalLiteracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalLiteracy</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/PlatformDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PlatformDesign</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/EvidenceBasedDiscourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EvidenceBasedDiscourse</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TechEthics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechEthics</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/ConstructiveDialogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ConstructiveDialogue</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AlgorithmicBias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlgorithmicBias</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FactOverFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FactOverFiction</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twitter</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a>

SRF IRISWhat does it actually mean when we say that generative AI raises ethical questions? 🔵 Dr. Thilo Hagendorff, our research group leader at IRIS3D, has taken this question seriously and systematically. With his interactive Ethics Tree, he has created one of the most comprehensive overviews of ethical problem areas in generative AI: <a href="https://lnkd.in/ebzZYaU7" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://lnkd.in/ebzZYaU7</a> More than 300 clearly defined issues – ranging from discrimination and disinformation to ecological impacts – demonstrate the depth and scope of the ethical landscape. This “tree” does not merely highlight risks, but structures a field that is increasingly under pressure politically, technologically, and socially. Mapping these questions so systematically underlines the need for ethical reflection as a core competence in AI research – not after the fact, but as part of the epistemic and technical process.<a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AIethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AIethics</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/ResponsibleAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResponsibleAI</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/EthicsInAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EthicsInAI</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/TechEthics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechEthics</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AIresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AIresearch</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/MachineLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MachineLearning</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AIgovernance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AIgovernance</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/DigitalEthics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalEthics</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AlgorithmicBias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlgorithmicBias</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/Disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Disinformation</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/SustainableAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SustainableAI</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/InterdisciplinaryResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InterdisciplinaryResearch</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/ScienceAndSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceAndSociety</a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/IRIS3D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IRIS3D</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"After the entry into force of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act in August 2024, an open question is its interplay with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The AI Act aims to promote human-centric, trustworthy and sustainable AI, while respecting individuals' fundamental rights and freedoms, including their right to the protection of personal data. One of the AI Act's main objectives is to mitigate discrimination and bias in the development, deployment and use of 'high-risk AI systems'. To achieve this, the act allows 'special categories of personal data' to be processed, based on a set of conditions (e.g. privacy-preserving measures) designed to identify and to avoid discrimination that might occur when using such new technology. The GDPR, however, seems more restrictive in that respect. The legal uncertainty this creates might need to be addressed through legislative reform or further guidance."<a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_ATA(2025)769509" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_ATA(2025)769509</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AIAct</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GDPR</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataProtection</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AlgorithmicDiscrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlgorithmicDiscrimination</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AlgorithmicBias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlgorithmicBias</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a>
