Dear colleagues,

 

Thank you for your unanimous support for the joint statement on the situation in Ukraine.

Please find attached the final document with all logos and signatures.

 

The official publication will be today at 16:00 CET with a press release from the Leopoldina. At that time, we will also make the statement available on the Leopoldina website.

 

We will forward the joint statement to the National Academy of Ukraine. We will also send it to the German Federal Government and other relevant institutions.

 

We hope that you will take similar measures in terms of publication and dissemination of the joint statement.

 

With best regards

Gerald Haug

My doctor said: Avoid all non-essential commitments, do long walks, in the evening drink chamomile tea, good wine and eat some dark chocolate.
I will follow his wise advice.

===================
The quest for a war-free world has a basic purpose: survival. But if in the process we learn  how to achieve it by love rather than by fear, by kindness rather than compulsion; if in the process we learn how to combine the essential with the enjoyable, the expedient with the benevolent, the practical with the beautiful, this will be an extra incentive to embark on this great task.
Above all, remember your humanity.
-- Sir Joseph Rotblat

I don't quite know whether it is especially computer science or its subdiscipline Artificial Intelligence that has such an enormous affection for euphemism. We speak so spectacularly and so readily of computer systems that understand, that see, decide, make judgments, and so on, without ourselves recognizing our own superficiality and immeasurable naivete with respect to these concepts. And, in the process of so speaking, we anesthetise our ability to evaluate the quality of our work and, what is more important, to identify and become conscious of its end use.  […] One can't escape this state without asking, again and again: "What do I actually do? What is the final application and use of the products of my work?" and ultimately, "am I content or ashamed to have contributed to this use?"
-- Prof. Joseph Weizenbaum ["Not without us", ACM SIGCAS 16(2-3) 2--7 - Aug. 1986]
