“We are at the beginning of a new epoch,” Eric Schmidt declared at the RAISE Summit in Paris on 9 July 2025. The former Google CEO’s message grounded in what he calls the San Francisco Consensus carries unusual weight—not necessarily because of his past role leading one of tech’s giants, but because of his current one: advising heads of state and industry on artificial intelligence.

María, a pediatrician in Argentina, works with an AI diagnostic system that can identify rare diseases, suggest treatment protocols, and draft reports in perfect medical Spanish. But something crucial is missing. The AI provides brilliant medical insights, yet María struggles to translate them into action in her community. What is needed to realize the promise of the Age of Artificial Intelligence? Then she discovers the missing piece.

Imagine if you could control every device, system, and process in the world simply by talking to it in plain English—or any language you speak. No special commands to memorize. No programming skills required. No technical manuals to study. Just explain what you want in your own words, and it happens. This is the transformation Eric Schmidt described when he spoke about language becoming the “universal interface” for artificial intelligence.

I have a little hobby project I’m working on and I wanted to use the opportunity to fully make the switch to Positron from RStudio. I used Positron here and there when it first came out, but now that it’s out of beta and has a more complete feature set (like remote SSH sessions!) I have everything I need to switch and not look back.

“If health workers do not share their challenges and solutions, we are bound to fail.” This declaration from a participant in the Teach to Reach initiative facilitated by The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) cuts to the heart of a crisis that has long plagued global health technical assistance: the persistent gap between what external experts provide and what practitioners actually need.

Ein Zentralbaustein zum Verständnis der Open-Access-Transformation ist das Monitoring. Die Landesinitiative für Open Research in Berlin betreibt ein solches mit Blick auf Berlin. Wir hier in Brandenburg machen etwas ähnliches. Am Forschungszentrum in Jülich wird der Open Access Monitor mit einer bundesweiten Perspektive betrieben.
