Abstract

Are you afraid of AI? Are you afraid of your own government? Are you just a great developer who practices decent devops and wants to know how you might wind up helping the people who answered "yes" to the previous two questions? I'll review the nature of intelligence, ethics, and EU digital regulation, then we can all talk about how coders can help make the planet work better on solving problems like sustainability and peace.
