Licenses for the bright future of humanity Humans Commons offers a range of open-source licenses – from AI0 (human-only use, no AI) to AI100 (public‑domain for all). Share & adapt freely.

Human-only licenses have been proposed but I am somewhat sceptical to which degree they would be respected, given the known copyright infringements in LLM training data: www.humanscommons.org

Use real-world data to build real-world research skills. Secondary data is a powerful tool for education and methods development.

How can secondary data be used in education and methods development?
Existing clinical trials data can be used for:
Teaching statistical and research methods using real-world datasets
Developing and testing new statistical models
Informing machine learning and AI approaches

Dr Kristy Robledo reused well-known datasets to test and demonstrate a new statistical method.
By applying secondary data, her team proved the method was flexible, reliable and useful across different scenarios.
“For researchers to be able to use our new methods, they need to see that it works on real data, not just simulated data!” – Dr Kristy Robledo

Wäre Merz Antifaschist, er müsste heute nicht kritisieren, dass sich in Gießen Menschen den Faschisten entgegenstellten - Es hätte Gießen nicht gegeben, weil er die Union und mit ihr das Land von der Nazipartei systematisch abgegrenzt hätte, anstatt sie durch Legitimation systematisch aufzublähen.

Research Data Management for the Arts, Humanities, and Legal studies Are you a researcher in Humanities, Arts or Legal studies, and think "research data" only applies to subjects like medicine, "hard sciences", and technology? This is the webinar for you!

Do you associate the term #ResearchData with the 'hard sciences', while your own research is in the Humanities, Arts, Legal studies, or other disciplines typically not considered #data heavy? This @unibergen.bsky.social webinar Nov 14th is for you: www.uib.no/en/ub/179034...
