🌿 How can environmental rights shape eco-friendly AI?
This question drives the research of our current #CAISfellow Assoc. Prof. Alberto Quintavalla (Erasmus University Rotterdam). His project explores how EU law can align AI innovation with sustainability.
#CAIScollege
Visual featuring the portrait of Alberto Visual showing the text: What is the main question your research is trying to answer? “This project aims to explore the extent to which environmental rights and other regulatory instruments can contribute to the development of eco-friendly AI technology.” Visual showing the text: How do you approach it? “This project will employ a doctrinal and systematic approach to EU law and policy, integrating normative insights from environmental law, theories of law and technology, and risk analysis. Subsequently, I plan to test these findings empirically.” Visual showing the text: What was the spark that led you to your research topic? “It was a natural progression from my interest in environment and technology – both fields were fascinating and their combination even more so!”

How to Fight Misinformation Effectively
Hendrik Heuer will present his paper "The Phase Model of Misinformation Interventions" on Oct 20 at #CSCW2025 in Bergen examining which measures against misinformation are most effective and their risks.

@hheuer.bsky.social #CAIS
The graphic with the title "Solutions against Misinformation" shows which interventions can target misinformation in three phases (before creation, before detection, after detection), categorized by type (Educating, Labeling, Providing Evidence, Deleting) and by expert agreement.
