πŸ“’ New blogpost
"The Efficiency Paradox of Judicial AI” on MediaLaws

πŸ”— www.medialaws.eu/the-efficien...

In this blog, I challenge the idea that judicial #AI increases efficiency. Technical and legal hurdles may create the opposite effect: systems meant to speed up justice can end up slowing it down

The (too many) facets of trustworthy AI - CiTiP blog While trustworthy AI has rightfully gained prominence for its potential to address the challenges and risks that can arise when designing, developing and deploying AI systems, the concept has evolved ...

πŸ“£New Blogpost: has trustworthy #AI become an unrealistic ideal? @victoriahendrickx.bsky.social discusses how the concept has evolved over time to include so many aspects that it risks becoming unattainable. She therefore calls for more clarity and interdisciplinary research.
