Brava to Sylvie Delacroix's call to arms at PCAIDE's AI & social interaction panel, to counter techno-deterministic acceptance like the false sentiment that "we can only look and marvel": let's now shape our AI systems, centre them around people & create what humanity yearns for!
Enjoyed Katrina Bramstedt’s airline pilot and car seatbelt analogies, as she advocated for a people-centred approach and doing the “hard yards” to embed ethics on the ground. Nice panel at PCAIDE today! linkedin.com/in/prof-katrina…

If crowds damming that temple of science's imperial corridors @NHM_London creates a thirst 4 sth else, 'The River' is an oasis at its heart. You can't see thru its deepening waters, yet the chamber fills with crystal clear aquatic, fluid sounds & tones from within our Old Father.

How else to address technology's deep embedding into society & our daily lives but thru multi-disciplinary teams partnering academia with industry & other voices of diversity? Could such a PhD suit you? Looking forward to turning the vibrancy of our research community up to 11!
We're delighted to announce @PeopleCentredAI's new Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Digital Media Inclusion. We're joining forces with @RoyalHolloway, bringing together their excellence in creative R&D and our leadership in people-centred AI. ow.ly/vUij50Q2vX5
What a fantastically thought provoking talk from Geoff Hinton @Cambridge_Eng this evening contrasting digital vs analogue intelligence. Feels to me that we would do well to learn how to teach machines to #BeKind! cser.ac.uk/events/csercfieng…

This morning, driving through Altricham I came across one of those @coopuk robot delivery things waiting at a zebra crossing. What exactly am I supposed to do in that situation? Do I stop and wait? Not sure what the rules are in this situation.
Great to have such industry engagement w/ #AI4ME today in BBC's #DigitalTransformation to #SmartMedia platform! @BBCRD #BeyondRecommendation #UniversalAccess #FlexibleMedia @PeopleCentredAI @cvssp_research @LancasterUni
Today’s #AI is incredibly capable, yet limited, surpassing human abilities in not all but ever increasing ways. Let’s learn to be aware of AI’s impacts on society & to resolve how institutions everywhere manage risks from this powerful technology in the wrong hands. #ApplyEthics

Inspiring set of challenges posed by @adew at #SODA today on object-based media aka #FlexibleMedia. How can we design personalised storytelling to strengthen how connected we feel in our communities? @BBCRD
Taking a cross-section of society to examine ethical dimensions of our engineering research calls for skills & expertise rarely found in the physical sciences, but no less welcome! 🙏@ProfRanjanaDas @ReeJo1 @RooMarcus #AI4ME #CitizenCouncil #PublicEngagementInScience #FutureMedia
