Environmental & social costs
What can I learn?
Two Dutch tech-and-society labs whose blogs and events cover environmental costs of AI, planetary boundaries, irreverent critiques (AI-Bullshit Bingo), and alternative tech futures. Waag is one of the organisations behind IjmondCAM (on your original list).
