Had a wonderful time at Università degli Studi di Parma speaking at the Intensive ENCODE Spring School on #generativeAI #ethics and #teaching #AncientLanguages! It was fantastic to discuss digital competencies for ancient writing cultures to so many brilliant students and scholars.

Absolutely thrilled that the iGAIAS project has won the 2025 University of Reading Collaborative Award for Outstanding Contribution to Teaching and Learning.

Noticed that I was blocked by academics I was excited to follow during their migration and have discovered that I'm on an #AI apologist #blocklist.

To be clear, my work is solely #CriticalAI studies related to the #ancientworld. I hope this reaches those that blocked me through this list. #edusky

the Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology! It was brilliant to speak to so many people about #GenAI ethics and #ancientworld bias.

Enjoy a couple highlights from our participants' generations:

When you see an image online, can you tell if it was made by a human? Join us at the Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology to learn how #generative image #AI skews the #ancientworld.

Celebrating Shinge Roko Sherry Chayat Roshi's retirement as abbot of the Zen Studies Society today. Although my time around her was short (a short stay in DBZ in 2016), I am grateful for what I learned from her. I wish her a wonderful retirement.
