European civil servants are also usually banned from using AI — perhaps with the exception of Microsoft copilot. They live in a bubble where they just don’t know. This goes for most academics as well.
- ironman1478 6mo agoMaybe that's a good thing. I want people running my country to actually know how to do things.
- lpcvoid 6mo agoNo idea why this is down voted. Ai makes people dumber and kills problem solving skills over a long timespan.
- j_maffe 6mo agoWhat do you mean by most academics? In Europe? That's just blatently untrue.
- jampekka 6mo agoWhat are you on about? I don't know of any software or services that would be banned at my university. People use all sorts of LLMs extensively. At least in Finland also civil servants are free to use what AI services they want, given they don't put in sensitive information. Just like they can use any search engine they want.
- troupo 6mo agoAh yes. "It's so bad that people in government agencies cannot give sensitive info to US companies or blindly rely on LLMs for their decisions since nothing has ever happened when people in governments blindly trusted black boxes" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal https://www.politico.eu/article/dutch-scandal-serves-as-a-warning-for-europe-over-risks-of-using-algorithms/ https://www.politico.eu/article/dutch-scandal-serves-as-a-wa...
- com_kieffer 6mo agoThe European Commission actually has an internal AI chat platform with a selection of different models, and recommendations on which to use based on the classification level of the information that will be shared with the AI model. Some are hosted internally (LLAMA models), other are sourced from commercial providers (Mistral, OpenAI).
