Do you want to know the impact of the big tech companies on our environment. I did an explainer for the People Vs Big Tech on how Big Tech is polluting our environment. https://lnkd.in/eYCyEtf9

Another great pod for framing tech issues and how we can figure out how to reclaim the building of our future from those powerful entities who would prefer they have sole control. Europe’s top tech regulator steps down. https://lnkd.in/gGvV7D25
CEO of Saidot. Helping companies align AI with human values. Speaks and writes about AI governance, policy and innovation.
“I want Europe to become an AI continent,” Virkkunen tells the Parliament. The EU’s AI rulebook, the AI Act, must be “swiftly implemented as an enabler,” she says." It's encouraging to hear that Henna Virkkunen clearly recognizes that the EU can not win human-centric AI without a step change in the use of it. The figures are extremely disturbing: only 8% of EU companies made use of AI in 2023. We look forward to supporting the implementation of the AI Act as an enabler. The key is already locked in the AI Act text itself: governance that is proportionate to the risk level of the system. There's no one t-shirt size for good AI governance. The responsible AI winners will apply the right level of risk management to keep risks in control, and the capability to do this at scale will differentiate whether AI regulations and governance will become your enabler or your Achilles heel. The start of the AI Act implementation looks quite promising. A couple of personal observations: 🔦Companies choose to do AI risk management not for compliance but for systematic control of business risks involved with their AI use - practically, this means risk management is becoming standard practice of not only high-risk systems but across the AI inventories; 🔦My feeling is that the European Commission's estimate of the share of high-risk systems (5-15%) might be higher than the actual real-life situation but naturally, it is too early to draw any final conclusions and time will show as more companies establish AI inventories with solid system classifications. A few weeks ago, we sent Henna a pair of six-finger gloves as a reminder of the criticality of implementing the AI Act in an innovation-friendly way. I’m happy to hear the work is getting started—Godspeed, Henna! POLITICO Europe #EU #commissioner #hearings #AI #AIAct #whatsyour6thfinger
We're reaching the closing quarter of Henna Virkkunen's three-hour grilling to prove she's cut out for the EU's top tech gig. How's she doing?

In times of crisis, technology connects us in more ways than one. Discover how in our latest blog post 'Communicating During Crisis: The Tech Side of a Very Human Issue' 🌎🤝 https://bit.ly/3TY7rJ5
❤️🔥 Check out Priya Garg at Tech Together, an all-day event dedicated to celebrating the progress of the public interest tech movement and charting its future. Priya shares how our government relies on technology, but thanks to a broken private market for government technology - successful technology projects are hard to come by. With more and more technology projects failing, we're facing a crisis of public confidence. 💙 Our public servants are innovative and scrappy, but they need help. That's where USDR comes in. We believe this issue is solvable. Our mission is to get the government back on track by helping them experience the best of the private sector, instead of the worst: the best people, the best practices, and the best products.
