The AIA is a landmark piece of legislation that will significantly impact the development and use of AI in Europe. I agree it is essential to read the full text of the AIA to understand its implications.
The AI Act covers various AI technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. It sets out several requirements for the development and use of AI, including:
- Transparency: AI systems must be transparent and explainable.
- Accountability: Those who develop and use AI systems must be accountable for their actions.
- Non-discrimination: AI systems must not discriminate against individuals or groups of people.
- Safety: AI systems must be safe and secure.

The First "AI Governance Day": Bridging the Gap from Principles to Action
The inaugural "AI Governance Day" marked a significant step towards translating ethical AI principles into practical frameworks. Convened by the ITU, it brought together a diverse group for a critical discussion: how to harness the immense potential of AI while mitigating its risks.
Prior to this event, AI governance focused primarily on high-level principles, often lacking concrete application in the fast-paced world of AI development. This is changing, with regulatory bodies worldwide moving towards concrete regulations. Examples include China's Algorithm Registry and the EU's AI Act, which aims for enforcement in 2024.
However, a "governance paradox" emerges. While regulations often struggle to keep pace with technological advancements, there's an equally critical issue: the lack of robust tools for monitoring and controlling AI systems. This gap creates significant risks and highlights the need for more sophisticated governance tools.
"AI Governance Day" addressed this crucial next step: how to implement these regulatory frameworks. Participants from various countries discussed successful approaches, ongoing challenges, and what's needed for effective implementation.
This event signifies a crucial shift in the global conversation on AI governance. Bridging the gap from principles to action paves the way for a more balanced and responsible future for AI.

Call for Papers: Student Mobility with Caring Responsibilities
I invite you to submit a contribution to our panel proposal for two upcoming conferences:
22nd ENIS Conference: The Future of International Student Mobility (Iasi, Romania), June 4-6, 2025 (hybrid)
IMISCOE Conference (Paris, France), July 1-4, 2025 (hybrid)
Our panel explores students' experiences with caring responsibilities (e.g., parenthood) in the context of international mobility.
While student mobility research considers factors like gender and ethnicity, it often overlooks the challenges faced by student parents. We aim to fill this gap by examining:
How social norms and family arrangements influence mobility decisions.
The role of higher education institutions and host countries in supporting these students.
The obstacles faced by student parents and their strategies for navigating them.
We welcome papers addressing questions like:
How do parenting expectations impact student mobility?
How do family structures influence international study plans?
What can universities do to support student parents?
What support systems do host countries offer?
How do student parents negotiate mobility limitations?
What challenges do they encounter?
Submit your abstract (max. 250 words) by September 10, 2024 (23:59 CET):
Include your name, affiliation, and preferred conference (ENIS or IMISCOE).
Send to: Thais França: thais.franca@iscte-iul.pt, Rúna Vigdís Guðmarsdóttir: runa.v.gudmarsdottir@rannis.is; Christof Van Mol: c.vanmol@tilburguniversity.edu
Notification of acceptance will be sent by September 18, 2024.
The computing continuum offers a wide range of innovative services (e.g., computation offloading, sites collaboration, and context awareness) that changed the concept of computing models. However, there are potential opportunities for improvement that lead to more efficient and elastic services, and challenges need to be investigated in the continuum. A better understanding of the computing continuum will guide researchers and developers in tackling and overcoming these challenges to enable the computing continuum and support the vision by a use case.
