A good book. Is there anything better? I love to read. I have always been reading. More and more over the years, every morning & every evening.
I read when I travel, & having visted 174 countries to date, it has been a journey with many books.
Personally I don’t listen to books, I read them. I want to turn the pages to see what is next, I go back & forward to check things, to reflect on things while reading. I guess we are all different as people, but I love to create my own image of what I read.
I read a mix of professional business books, leadership & management litterature, biographies, fiction & crime novels. For me reading different types of books is important. I often read two books of different kind in parallel.
Some of my favourite fiction writers are Don Winslow, Dennis Lehane & Anders Roslund.
For me reading is about learning, learning is life & life is learning. When I was a child I lived in a house without books, but I was fortunate since my best friend from the age of four (when I learned to read), was living in a house where they rented out a few rooms to the public library of our small hometown. I was there every day.
I always carry a book with me when travelling (or really several books). One book that I always have in my carry-on is ’For the Living and the Dead’ by the poet & thinker, Tomas Tranströmer – who won the Nobel Prize in Literature 2011
All members of my family are readers. My oldest daughter, who reads even more than me, is the reading almost hundred books a year. It is naturally not a contest, she just loves to read. Even though she is a grown up woman now, I haven’t seen her without a book since she was really young.
I can only recommend everybody to make time to read. There is a world on pages open for us.
Sometimes, in my case often, the universe of litterature makes our daily life a better place.
Following the approval of the EU AI Act, it’s time to get on board!
My colleague Craig Atkinson has reported that these tools by the Digital Policy Alert make your life easier: https://lnkd.in/emcvv-Wv
The DPA team – Johannes Fritz, Tommaso Giardini, et al. – recently launched a suite of free regulatory analysis tools to navigate the EU AI Act, called CLaiRK!
You can read, analyze, and compare the three versions of the AI Act. You can also converse with the CLaiRK chatbot, which gives references to the relevant provisions.
They’ll soon launch new features and expand to global AI regulation!
Nota bene – The DPA is a non-profit. Their mission is to help policymakers, legal professionals, journalists and citizens better understand the nuances of digital regulations with unprecedented ease and accuracy.
