The Situate AI Guidebook: Co-Designing a Toolkit to Support Multi-Stakeholder Early-stage Deliberations Around Public Sector AI Proposals
Public sector agencies are rapidly deploying AI systems to augment or automate critical decisions in real-world contexts like child welfare, criminal justice, and public health. A growing body of work documents how these AI systems often fail to improve services in practice. These failures can often be traced to decisions made during the early stages of AI ideation and design, such as problem formulation. However, today, we lack systematic processes to support effective, early-stage decision-ma…

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that: "The manufacturing sector was responsible for 12% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. **About 75% of those emissions came from burning fuel to create heat**, and the rest were by-products of industrial processes that transform materials into products."

At a Glance When producing goods, the manufacturing sector emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause global warming, both by burning fossil fuels and through certain industrial processes.

"Access & use of #publicsector documents & political speeches are key to a thriving #democracy and civil society as they ensure transparency and accountability. Copyright & paywalls, however, can render access to these materials difficult or expensive.

Access to and use of public sector documents and public speeches – new policy paper
Despite the importance of public sector documents as well as public speeches, they are not necessarily publicly available as they can be protected under copyright and hidden behind paywalls. Where this is the case, access to, and use of, these materials can be difficult or prohibitively expensive.

De PVV laat schippers stikken met gedogen ontgassen
Op 1 juli 2024 wordt het landelijk verbod op varend ontgassen (van een beperkt aantal stoffen) eindelijk van kracht. Op zaterdag 24 februari wist de NRC te melden dat uit een rondgang samen met Omroep Flevoland naar voren komt dat de sector nog niet klaar is voor een verbod.

"PE is committed to an ideology that is far worse than any form of racial animus or other bias. As a sector, it is committed to profit above all other values. As a result, its brutality knows no bounds, no decency, no compassion. Even the worst crimes we commit for hate are nothing compared to the crimes we commit for greed&quo…
