Egal ob Hausaufgaben, Referate oder Hausarbeiten: Generative KI liefert Schülerinnen, Schülern und Studierenden in Sekundenschnelle Ergebnisse. In einem Beitrag von ZDF „heute“ sowie in einer ARTE-Dokumentation erklärt Professorin Ute Schmid, Mitglied im bidt Direktorium, was das für Schule und Hochschule bedeutet. Außerdem schätzt sie in zwei weiteren Beiträgen die Chancen und Risiken von KI ein.

La justice internationale est à la croisée des chemins.

Un contraste saisissant : la justice internationale reçoit des marques de reconnaissance majeures alors que son indépendance est directement menacée.

This question connected several discussions that interested Dr Monique Bennett, Policy Dialogue Manager at Policy Innovation Lab, during a recent OECD forum.

As Europe prepares to showcase 91 AI pilots at the upcoming EUSAiR closing event, one major question remains: where do national AI regulatory sandboxes actually stand under the EU AI Act?

Which European countries have operational AI sandboxes?
