Britain dances to JD Vance's tune as it renames AI institute

In casual usage they feel like two separate concepts to me.

I think of it this way:

We put iron grills on our apartment balconies.

1. For SAFETY -- prevents the risk of people and kids falling off balconies.

2. For SECURITY -- prevents any intruder from being able to get into the house through balcony.

I am not sure these are accurate though as English is not my first language.

Both of those concepts translate to "veiligheid" in Dutch.

Tsja, zekerheid is a cognate for security. "Zeker" from Latin "Sēcūrus".

I've never heard anyone use the word "zekerheid" when talking about security. Verzekering, zekering, zekeren. Sure, but those are all pretty domain specific. No one hires a "zekerheidsagent" to secure their building, or an expert in "cyber zekerheid".

Ik ben daar ... vrij zeker van.
