Am at the UKAIRS conference in Newcastle: a showcase of AI research funded by UKRI. Great event for catching up with the community. Best bits for me were Wendy Hallβs keynote, @sanakb.bsky.social in conversation with DSITβs Chris Johnson, and @ginasue.bsky.social quoting The Pixies during her panel.

Oooh! Quickly set up a bingo and see if you can get a full house before you get to london! You know when life gives you lemons and all that...
I'd like to bottle the flutter of pleasure felt when the next gift you pick up to wrap is a box.

An important part of discourse around AI is what we mean when we say AI, what feelings are evoked, are we on the same page?
This competition to find better AI images will help us in this discourse.
My first holiday party was last night with a community working to disrupt responsibly. Every person I spoke to was asking how things could be radically improved if we started today - not just incremental improvements. Hard questions requiring real grit and collaboration to get right! Let's go! #2025
Excited to have our BRAID fellow @clemicollett.bsky.social exploring how #AI is impacting novel-writing.
She is looking for participants for her study.
Canada has launched its AI Safety Institute! Yay! www.canada.ca/en/innovatio...
Responsibility is end to end and everything in between - problems of today and anticipation of future problems to avoid. Not one or the other. Both.
There are enough of us to make all of AI responsible - the only aim!
It was a pleasure to join you and meet the students. I really enjoyed it π
Getting them into bed?
An intriguing conversation about the sources of countervailing powers of AI and how they all have juxtapositions that stop them from delivering on their promises. I see a parallel to the juxtaposition of London architecture I love so much. Thx JRF for bringing such a thoughtful bunch together.
Want to find out what's to be happening in AI policy right now in the UK? This week I talked to expert and former Head of the UK government's Office for AI @sanakb.bsky.social for @bunkerpod.bsky.social: open.spotify.com/episode/4h7d...
Sometimes we need a lens into the AI world - to magnify some bits, to show other bits are a little fuzzy and that other bits need attention. Someone told me today that is what I do. I identify with that. #responsibleAI #thereIsNotJustOneExpert
Today was a good day. It's important to note them.
So sad to be missing this! Cannot wait to hear how it went!

In Dubai speaking about the sorts of AI policies needed to drive adoption and enhance benefits in a sustainable manner that's actually meaningful for communities. What is the role of regulation, standards, skills, and how do we work together across the world?

Always wins the prettiest-tree-in-Autumn award for me.
Pleasure working alongside this exceptional group and the directors Anna Thomas and Abigail Gilbert and team to think about some of the impact we will see when we properly move up the adoption curve. Have you thought about the impacts? It should be in your strategy from the outset.
First post here. Scared what the platform will do to me. 'X' has me jaded π¬
