A new @dailymail.co.uk campaign is calling on Government to protect Britain’s creative industries from AI. The campaign cites our latest research urging caution against an opt-out approach to copyright and GenAI. Our ED @ginasue.bsky.social comments below. ➡️ www.mctd.ac.uk/policy-brief...

New report published today says the unregulated use of Generative AI in the UK economy will not necessarily lead to economic growth & risks damaging the UK's creative sector. www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/blog/ai-ip/

To celebrate Int'l Day of Women & Girls in Science, DSIT asked women at the top of the industry for their advice to someone considering a STEM career. Our Exec Director @ginasue.bsky.social was featured! 🎉 Her advice: go for it and remember there’s no single path to being a leader in STEM.

This was so much fun to do. Check out our take on the AI Opportunities Action Plan and then watch for our report on AI & IP coming 20 Feb.

This was so much fun to do! Tune in and find out what I really think about those English murder dramas.

If you haven't already, please read @ginasue.bsky.social's short article. It is depressing for all the right reasons, and ends with: "Whether democracy can survive AI will depend on us. Moving fast and breaking things is not a way to sustainable build digital futures. There are ... alternatives."

A powerful, challenging call to action on AI & democracy from @ginasue.bsky.social

How big a moment is #DeepSeek in the story of AI❓ Prof @ginasue.bsky.social @cambridgeuni.bsky.social responds alongside @verityharding.bsky.social on Tonight with Andrew Marr @lbc.co.uk – they talk Silicon Valley hyperscaling, global AI race, and data privacy. 📺 www.mctd.ac.uk/deepseek-gen...

ONE IN THREE UK 18 year olds are not in education or training. An astonishing figure for the AI age. Upskilling for AI means this will have to change, Richard Layard argues at the event for the #PissaridesReview

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

Who wants to escape to the Isle of Flowers? Evidently, it is near London Bridge.

Today's flower motto is "Better late than never" thanks to my so-call Christmas Amaryllis. ❤️😂❤️ Anything you are thinking better late than never about today?

🎙️How are data and algorithms impacting our lives? @ginasue.bsky.social, @jenitennison.com & @jfbonnefon.bsky.social discuss how algorithms and data influence our work, lives, and interactions, and the governance frameworks required for accountability and public good. 🎧https://pod.fo/e/299eb0

Can democracy survive AI? I drafted this right after Trump's win and his first week in office doesn't change my answer.

Some good news for the day.

“At the turn of the 21st century, Internet-associated tech companies that are now household names were just starting up. Many presented an image of being fun & lighthearted, through whimsical names, amenities for software developers, & mottos like ‘don’t be evil.’” firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph...
