“This may speed them along.” Indeed.
That’s why I want to read the full survey (which I can’t find). The graphic is about AI, the article not so much.
Is it really? The results don’t promote. The journalist is not a promoter.
I cannot find the full survey, nor the website of the Observatory.
It is telling that the magistrates went to a UK newspaper and that it was then covered in the Belgian press: https://www.demorgen.be/snelnieuws/van-de-ene-dag-op-de-andere-moet-je-je-huis-verlaten-hoe-de-drugsoorlog-rechters-in-belgie-raaktb08f2d2b/
Could it be that they decided to escalate beyond Belgium because they didn’t reach the necessary impact in Belgium itself?
I still have my doubts about whether this is not a fake. Except for that bio page, I cannot find any confirmation in English. It is custom that there is a statement from the university on the reasons why and a video of the event where the title was conferred. There is nothing of the sort, which is extremely odd.
I agree. But it is a draft name. I am sure they will come up with something better.

Luigi Di Maio honorary professor of King's College London
According to the Italian press, Luigi Di Maio (5 Star Movement, no university degree) was bestowed an honorary professorship at King’s College London, based on a LinkedIn post by Di Maio and a bio page on the King’s College website. There is no press release or any other mention of this in the UK press. True?
I agree. But it is a draft name. I am sure they will come up with something better.
