I tried that instant AI translation tool (labs.heygen.com/video-transl…) and it's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
I gave it a 35 second video of me speaking English.
And this is what I got - that's my voice! But I don't speak a word of German...

Thank you for all your kind messages of support today. I've also written this for the @guardian about the need for Martha's Rule and why patients need more power in hospitals. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Super proud of the landmark 5-year partnership we have agreed between @MicrosoftUK. and @NHSEngland.
As it turns 75, the NHS needs technology more than ever to help with the very real challenges it faces.

I've been extremely impressed with what Epic has been doing to integrate #GPT4 to improve workflow, reporting, and data value in healthcare. This has really motivated us @Microsoft to deepen our strategic collaboration with them, and vice-versa. prnewswire.com/news-releases…
A happy day today (even if the weather gods didn’t agree) as we collected my son’s German citizenship certificate - thank you @GermanAmbUK for your team’s lovely handling of a special family moment #GermanBritish #restorednationality

We have been working for years on automating clinical documentation. And now, using GPT-4 from @OpenAI, a truly incredible, for-real, step-change reduction in this terrible burden that doctors and nurses face every day. #MSFTNuanceAI #HealthcareAI #NuanceDAXExpress #MSFTHealth

Almost a year ago, the Lancet published estimates comparing excess deaths across countries. These, which were flawed and misleading, made news here because they suggested the UK had fared much better than had been thought (below from Daily Telegraph). thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Loving the @pavement_band set on @BBC6Music right now - taking me back 30 years when I first saw them play at the Clapham Grand (their first UK gig??)

Absolutely fascinating new research in the United States shows creating more connections across class lines – bridging social capital – is the most promising route to improved rates of upward economic mobility. See:

I think this may be the first official record of ICS' shiny new statutory names, with all the 'character'/crap about 'together we’re better' having been stripped out.
(And here's how much dosh they're responsible for too)

Reflecting on 2 years since the first lockdown .
2 years since @MicrosoftTeams was made available to all #NHSmail users.
Since then we're supported:
473m chats
107m meetings
50m calls
Got #NHSmail and not using Teams? It's never too late to start 👇
