Am at the UKAIRS conference in Newcastle: a showcase of AI research funded by UKRI. Great event for catching up with the community. Best bits for me were Wendy Hall’s keynote, @sanakb.bsky.social in conversation with DSIT’s Chris Johnson, and @ginasue.bsky.social quoting The Pixies during her panel.

My first holiday party was last night with a community working to disrupt responsibly. Every person I spoke to was asking how things could be radically improved if we started today - not just incremental improvements. Hard questions requiring real grit and collaboration to get right! Let's go! #2025

Canada has launched its AI Safety Institute! Yay! www.canada.ca/en/innovatio...

Responsibility is end to end and everything in between - problems of today and anticipation of future problems to avoid. Not one or the other. Both.

There are enough of us to make all of AI responsible - the only aim!

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have underscored both the promise and the risks associated with this transformative technology. Ensuring the safety and the responsible use of AI systems...

An intriguing conversation about the sources of countervailing powers of AI and how they all have juxtapositions that stop them from delivering on their promises. I see a parallel to the juxtaposition of London architecture I love so much. Thx JRF for bringing such a thoughtful bunch together.

Sometimes we need a lens into the AI world - to magnify some bits, to show other bits are a little fuzzy and that other bits need attention. Someone told me today that is what I do. I identify with that. #responsibleAI #thereIsNotJustOneExpert

In Dubai speaking about the sorts of AI policies needed to drive adoption and enhance benefits in a sustainable manner that's actually meaningful for communities. What is the role of regulation, standards, skills, and how do we work together across the world?

Pleasure working alongside this exceptional group and the directors Anna Thomas and Abigail Gilbert and team to think about some of the impact we will see when we properly move up the adoption curve. Have you thought about the impacts? It should be in your strategy from the outset.
