Last week at #LabourPartyConference, I spoke at The New Statesman panels with Adobe, Cohere & Cisco - discussing how we can use AI responsibly to improve public services and drive inclusive economic growth.
Important conversations about trust, innovation and delivery. #AIforGood

Here are some highlights: (1/6)
"Everybody else understands that the UK creative industries are a world superpower. To not protect copyright at the heart of it is foolish, and in the end, is theft.” #katemoss #labourpartyconference
“When I asked a government minister if they had done an economic impact study about the benefits of signing these AI deals – basically not supporting UK copyright… versus what would be lost in terms of those of us who are paying… they hadn’t done that."
#katemoss #labourpartyconference
#writingcommunity Author Kate Moss spoke at the #LabourPartyConference 'to address the “deliberately manufactured” debate around AI, flagging that her new book, Feminist History for Every Day of the Year, was on AI trainer LibGen and “had been scraped before I even had a copy in my hand.”
"They're extracting money from you, they're extracting money from everybody out there. We need to reduce extreme wealth – it has a very corrosive impact on society."
Phil White from @patmillsuk.bsky.social speaking at our fringe #LabourPartyConference event, ‘Billionaires for Breakfast’.
"Spending on education is at its lowest level in 25 years... there are choices, and we think this government is making the wrong ones."
Daniel Kebede from @neunion.bsky.social speaking at our fringe #LabourPartyConference event, ‘Billionaires for Breakfast’.
"Countries are losing $492 billion in tax a year to multinational corporations and wealthy people".
Caitlin Boswell from @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social speaking at our fringe #LabourPartyConference event, ‘Billionaires for Breakfast’.
"Where would a wealth tax begin?"
Dr Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah from @neweconomics.bsky.social speaking at our fringe #LabourPartyConference event, ‘Billionaires for Breakfast’.

#LabourPartyConference (2/2)
We want to say a huge thank you to all our speakers & attendees at our #ChildofTheNorth panel at #LabourPartyConference. The inspirational event included those leading change for children in poverty, and young people with lived experience who shared their powerful stories. 1/2
Why is the Labour Party in such a terrible state and sinking in the polls?
If this is the calibre of their elected representatives and handlers, it's no surprise.
Genocidal, incompetent and in denial.
