These corporations , and their leaders , are committing ecocide & they must be held accountable

New blog piece contextualising Labour's approach to AI in light of the Paris AI summit.

@nathancritch.bsky.social and I argue that the UK is plotting it's own course on AI regulation as part of an ambitious domestic agenda for AI.

Thanks to @mileendinstitute.bsky.social for publishing!

Industrial strategies have come & gone so often that it's easy to be cynical.

That said, in a recent piece with Nathan Critch for the @productivity.bsky.social we look at Labour's 'Invest 2035' Green Paper and find reasons to be (cautiously) cheerful!
