10 years ago my book Saving Bletchley Park was published: the fastest-ever crowdfunded book at the time. It tells the true story of how a #socialmedia campaign helped save the home of the #WWII codebreakers.

Now it’s finally available to download 💻

❤️ It’s published! My first piece for my new regular column in IEEE Software Journal: #TheQuestion “What No One’s Talking About in AI Governance”

❤️ What topic should I ask about for my next column? I’d love to hear your suggestions.

An interesting evening at the #AI #APPG @ House of Lords

A question we didn’t get the answer to: Who is in charge of AI in UK govt + who’s the budget holder?

It’s great PM has put emphasis on AI, but why give responsibility for implementing the “AI Action Plan” to smallest dept w little resource?
