Inspired by Zoe, I looked up use of the word "guardrail" and it confirmed by suspicion — hardly anyone used that horrible word until late 2022, and now it's used constantly.

This week, I reported that the only role in government dedicated to police use of tech has sat empty since August.

Home Office suggesting it plans to name a successor - but delay is concerning as LFR rollout continues.

Minister has said government accepts need for a deeper look at LFR.

For @politico.eu Morning Tech UK I spoke to @techuk.bsky.social who for the first time set out their plan to solve the AI copyright issue.

Lords committee explicitly says the UK government should reject an EU-style opt-out system for AI scraping — even though that's exactly where it seems to be headed (as I first reported, not the FT, as the committee's footnotes seems to think 😇)

Patrick Vallance confirms POLITICO’s scoop from more than a month ago - government to publicly consult on AI and copyright proposals “shorty”.

Via @llauriec.bsky.social confirming previous reporting by me and Vince.
