AI’s Role in Political Manipulation Deepfakes can hijack elections, sow doubt, and let liars walk free. Here’s how AI is rewriting political playbooks, and how we could fight back.

Disinformation is nothing new - throughout our history, some always benefitted from decieving the masses.

Each invention made that easier, and AI supercharges that. The Age of Deepfakes is upon us, and the potential harm to our democracies is severe.

AI Ethics and the 'Good Society': Can We Program Morality into Machines? From Asimov’s laws to AI bias, this deep dive explores whether morality can be programmed into machines—and what that means for our future.

AI judges, AI soldiers, AI caregivers. The moral dilemmas are no longer sci-fi.

Can we program morality into machines? Or will AI always reflect our own biases?

New piece up on my Substack diving into the ethics of AI. Would love to hear your take!

Read below!

Tech Giants Keep Promising Ethical AI – Should we believe them? Tech giants love to tell us how they are building ‘AI for good.’ Over the past couple of years Google, Meta, Microsoft, and other players of the tech world have been quite eager to release their own s...

Tech giants promise ‘ethical AI,’ but do their actions line up? I examine the real impact of AI policies - and where they fall short - in my new article

First, the subservient google robots said they would not rename the Gulf of Mexico for non-US users.

Few days later - voilá, my Hungarian map shows google decided to be Trump's bitch globally.

Passing the torch of remembrance A reflection on remembrance, rising extremism, and the need for empathy to prevent history from repeating itself.

A short article to remember the darkest days of the 20th century. We must pass on the torch so we can prevent the cogs of history from repeating itself.

I have decided to try and limit my screen time in 2025, as I am easily spending over 12 hours a day in front screens.

So - my first impulse buy of the year is... ten books!

Sidenote: The revolving door of politics and social media policies On the backwater of a right-wing shift in US politics, Meta changed what free-speech is for its global audience.

The first truely shitty thing of 2025: #Meta & their attempt to rewrite the global definition of free speech and hate speech.

We know politicians' hateful attitude causes a rise of hate crime.

What should YOU do? Call your MP/MEP and tell them - wake up and legislate against that.

I'm yet to get into developing film myself, though I can see myself taking up on that too! It's quite expensive here in Hungary as well - less so than anywhere I've been, but still makes you think twice before you shoot. That's what I love though, and what I took film up - kinda slows me down :)

Oh thank you so much for your kind feedback - you've made my day!
Honestly - I'm still learning the craft, having picked up my first film camera in April. I fell in love with Ektar, and the Norwegian landscape is just begging for her colours, so I always pack a roll or two whenever I visit.

Consider this:

We create an AI to solve the climate crisis for us. Pretty great on paper, right?

What if developers make "an oopsie" during coding and the AI isn't ligned with our values, such as do no harm, and then that AI reaches the conclusion that elliminating humans would solve the problem?

Some of these issues can and should be handled nationally, but the worst case scenario and a ban on AI weaponisation should be up and high on the agenda of global decision makers.

The lack of ethical guidelines now might cause ethical gaps of AI decision making in the future.

A non-exhaustive list of issues includes:

- privacy violations
- IPs
- AI scams
- enviromental impact of data centres
- misinformation & deepfakes
- bias & misinformation due to flawed input
- AI arms race
- unaligned superintelligence
- loss of control and possible misuse (such as bioterrorism)

The muddy waters of AI regulation - Artificial Inequality AI already impacts your life more than you realise. How can we guarantee its development is ethical, sustainable, and ensures safety for all?

Let's talk #AI

It affects you: in lending, healthcare outcomes, policing, and if you are creating #art even in your intellectual property. The lack of global ethical guidelines for development is a warning sign.

In this post, I am writing about the issues and the possible solutions w/ regulation.

Midnight thoughts: Can we normalise using 'an oopsie' in academic style?

I am currently writing a piece on AI regulation and it's all doom-and-gloom with existential threats & I'd really appreciate if I could sprinkle an uplifting 'an oopsie that caused human extinction' in there.

that fealing when you get back your slide film scans after 3.5 weeks only to find out that your lab forgot to push it, and your arctic pics now look like one underexposed mess.

gotta love that 🎞️ #believeinfilm :(
