The Professor the subject of this piece is Bent Flyvbjerg. No criticism of Cherwell for not naming him: it is difficult and risky. But troubling to learn that: "The University did not formally investigate the professor, and did not restrict his access to premises or remove his emeritus status."

“Minister of AI” is going to be remembered as a truly cursëd phrase
The Minister of AI having an "ongoing engagement" with the government of Israel on technology and AI is deeply concerning. No, it’s just plain wrong. It makes Canada vulnerable to international legal consequences, and it takes Canada far down the wrong path.
