We attended the seminar "Supporting a responsible digital transition for and with cultural heritage" organized by the European Heritage Hub We like to underline this relevant point: 📍Artificial intelligence should be a common good. Unfortunately, what is happening is exactly the opposite! This leads potential risks related to the exploitation of technological progress with consequences on sustainable, equitable and inclusive growth. #artificialintelligence #culturalheritage

🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 Our latest article on digital disconnection policies and regulations has now been published for open access! 📱 What’s it about? While an entire digital disconnection industry has emerged, evidence-based policies and regulations remain underdeveloped. Our study, based on in-depth interviews with 21 experts from organizations in Flanders, Belgium, explores the challenges of developing and implementing such digital disconnection policies across work, school, and family contexts. 🔍 Key findings: A digital disconnection policy paradox exists: while experts advocate for collective solutions, they often fall back on individual responsibility. This highlights a tension between expectations of personal autonomy and the need for systemic regulations. 💡 Why does this matter? Our findings call for a shift in the debate—from placing responsibility solely on individuals to creating more supportive institutional and policy frameworks for digital well-being. 📖 Open access link: https://lnkd.in/ecvJc9x6 Alice Verlinden Laura Lemahieu Lore Geldof Marthe Mennes Arturo Cocchi Marijn Martens Mariek Vanden Abeele School voor Sociale Wetenschappen UHasselt imec-mict-UGent Hasselt University #DigitalDisconnection #Wellbeing #PolicyResearch #DigitalMedia #AcademicResearch
