After 25 years, the #EU and #Mercosur finally announced a free trade agreement. It now awaits approval by the EU member states.

With the US shifting toward more protectionist trade policies, pressure is growing to seal the deal.

Climate policy, pension reform, public debt – what’s fair between generations? What would you change if you had a say?

These weeks, 150 randomly selected Europeans are meeting in Brussels to explore these questions as part of a #EU Citizens’ Panel.

Our teammate Matthias was there to observe the first session. Tonight he’s bringing two panel participants to our Zoom event. They’ll share what ideas were discussed.

Climate, pensions, housing, debt: what’s fair across generations? What would you change if you had a say?

These weeks, randomly selected Europeans are in Brussels discussing these issues and drafting proposals for #EU lawmakers. 2 of them will share their insights.

Then it’s your turn: In small groups, you’ll develop your own ideas. We’ll share them on the EU’s #CitizensPanels platform - your chance to shape future EU laws.

In last night’s talk with Dragoș Adăscăliței from @eurofound we learned that only 12% of European workers use generative AI tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney (as of December 2024)

Use ranges from ~20% in 🇱🇺 🇸🇪 🇧🇪 🇳🇱 🇩🇰 to <5% in 🇬🇷 🇮🇹 🇵🇹 🇷🇴 .

Let’s make sure access to AI don’t become the next digital divide.

#AI #FutureOfWork #europe

@radicalabacus @eurofound

Don’t you think the models will eventually become more efficient and therefore cheaper?

AI is already being used everywhere in companies. I can’t imagine it will ever disappear from our daily lives again.

@radicalabacus @eurofound

Why do you think that AI is a bubble?

‪Is AI coming for our #jobs? Will it cause mass unemployment or open a huge door to new kinds of work? Must we all reskill?

✨Or can #AI free us from routine tasks and make life more meaningful? If so, how do we motivate workers to take on jobs AI cannot do? Do we need UBI?

What role should the #EU play in this transformation?

Together with Dragoș Adăscăliței research officer at the EU Agency @eurofound we'll find out.

It’s 2025. Social media is ruled by the US and China. The whole world uses their apps. ...The whole world?

Not quite.

💪 A small European start-up is building something new: no endless ads, no addictive algorithms.
