Startup Coalition is thrilled to have spent the morning hosting a roundtable of founders, policy folks, and DSIT to talk through the UK National Data Library. It was chock full of lively discussion around issues around data sharing, opportunities around democratising data, and so much more.

🧵 The UK ranks third in global AI vibrancy according to Stanford's Global AI Power Rankings.

It's great to see that the UK is a leader in AI policy and governance conversations — and that our overall strategy is bearing fruit.

What a whirlwind of a week engaging with the UK’s amazing and diverse AI startup ecosystem.

From discussions on transparency, explainability, and IP to ending the week with 2 AI roundtables in 2 days.

Progress on how the UK treats AI should come from everyone in the market—not just the big guys

🚨 Today at Startup Coalition: We're launching our new AI project with TBI and Onward!

As an update, still not at the detail level I usually get with charcoal but definitely recognizable as the pup

I’m not finished yet but I think I finally found a method for watercolors that keeps me engaged and excited the entire time

Trying to get into paints again after years of being a charcoals and ink only gal and I really feel like I shouldn’t have started with watercolors. I do not currently have the patience required to wait for water to dry

This pup would like to gently nudge other pets of tech policy folks to join Bluesky. She’s even got a small horde of cheese biscuits if bribes help
