Some of the neatest people one could work with, who are also some of the best ResponsibleAI experts in the UK. So lucky to be part of this community.
This week we have spent a few days with our BRAID fellows at North Berwick. This is the first time the Fellows have come together in person, and it's been a great opportunity to develop and strengthen relationships, and to explore ideas and build collaboration.
