This Week at REDefine: Where Instructions Run Out
This week we ended up writing about two very different kinds of work: implementing the EU AI Act, and the people holding European projects together.
What connected them was not technology or funding. It was judgement.
A regulation can tell you what must happen. A programme guide can tell you what is eligible. A procedure can tell you which box to tick. But sooner or later somebody still has to notice that the formal answer does not quite fit reality, ask the uncomfortable question, or stop something that technically could continue.
That is where this week’s recap landed: Where Instructions Run Out.
And next week we follow that question into two new places: system literacy — why knowing how to use technology is no longer enough — and a new book on emotional intelligence for children, built around a similar idea: understanding should give people more possible next moves, not simply make them easier to manage.
