Immaginate che un’ambulanza intervenga sul luogo di un incidente stradale ma, per “ragioni di Stato”, i feriti vengano assegnati ad un ospedale a tre ore di distanza piuttosto che in qualsiasi ospedale vicino al luogo dell’incidente.

E criminale!
I am thrilled and happy to announce that I have been granted 2.2 million DKK to run my project on AI and Labour Law at Aarhus University.
