Thrilled to share that last night, in Berlin, Ida Reihani and I won the AxelSpringer #AwardForChange Journalistic Piece of the Year for our story on Iran’s funding of gender-affirmative surgeries. Thank you to BI, the jury, everyone who voted, @KitGillet, and our brave sources.

Fair Trials' @ChryssaMela spoke with Dr. @FPalmiotto about the #AIAct. "The AI Act is landmark legislation, but it doesn't mean that it's the only tool we can use to ensure that fundamental rights aren't violated by AI systems and their use."

This Weds is (possibly) the final EU #AIAct negotiation. Governments have been resistant to any limitation on police use of AI, despite the massive and well-documented harms. @edri calls on @EUCouncil to put their money where their mouth is & put people at the heart of the Act
