Our contributions to a systems update

We advance the discourse on Public Interest Technology by introducing innovative impulses and developing new perspectives that we embed directly into societal structures. By raising awareness of opportunities and risks, imparting essential knowledge, and providing targeted support to all stakeholders, we ensure that this guiding “code” continues to drive societal agendas and decision-making processes.

Arguing in agent-based models

Note 10 from the research journal by Nicklas Lundblad:In the work here so far we have mostly spoken about agents as a kind of interface and capability bundling of artificial intelligence, but the research project is also looking at things like institutions and agency, and in doing so the focus is more on what is called “agent-based modelling”(ABM).

Intelligence and its vital flaws

Note 7 from the research journal by Nicklas Lundblad: As we design artificial agents (or delegates) one of the interesting challenges that we will have to sort out is to figure out how to decide mechanisms that ensure that the agent does not act in certain circumstances.

Design-principles for dyads

Note 9 from the research journal by Nicklas Lundblad: As we moved from models to agents, we still retained the notion of a single, cohesive unit of intelligence to some degree.

Killing Agents

Note 8 from the research journal by Nicklas Lundblad: As we put more agency into the world, we also have to make sure that we have the means to terminate that agency, or interrupt it in different ways.

From Acquis to AI: Building Europe’s Digital Resilience

Europe’s security has always depended more on managing processes together than on defending borders. At the European Resilience Summit in Berlin, we will revisit this concept, asking how Europe could strengthen its organisations and industries, integrate global technologies on its own terms and foster a shared culture of resilience in order to secure its digital future.
