Thank you to everyone who braved the weather and attended our ESRC Festival of Social Science talk "Chatting GPT" last night in the Lyric Theatre, Belfast! It was great to engage with the public on what the lessons of the past might tell us about the rise of AI today

It was a pleasure to host Michael Aldous and @profjohnturner.bsky.social at the Irish Stock Exchange for our event "The CEO: Examining Executive Impact on Business Performance".

Chaired by Tom Lyons and held in the historic Irish Stock Exchange, the event explored the makings of the modern CEO.

AI is here to stay, and is cementing itself as a "General Purpose Technology" (GPT) akin to the internet, steam or electricity. It has tremendous industrial potential, but can policymakers learn from previous GPTs and implement AI in a safe manner?

Conversely, institutions such as church schools and charities might improve development despite increased secularisation. This has significant implications for Irish history, in which religious and public authorities moved between cooperation and conflict with a variety of results. #econsky

The chapter, for the upcoming 'Handbook of Culture and Economic Behaviour', presents a comprehensive overview of the role and impact of religion on societies past and present. In particular, it suggests that economic development does not necessarily lead to decreased religiosity.
