Was great to work with @tlap.bsky.social & a really insightful group of people to consider the principles that should inform the use of GenAI in social care. Some really important points captured in this, which together suggest a need for FAR more caution than I’m currently seeing across the sector

I believe personalised care is far from business as usual and should be a key component of the 10 year plan. Working with people and communities and the VCSE where the solutions are, is the only way the NHS should be working but there needs to be resources available

Dial down expectations. News is designed with the purpose of explaining complex things v clearly to people without expert or 1st hand knowledge. It also tends to be a highly structured & formulaic form of writing. Yet still AI struggles to give accurate summaries www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/

Whatever your view on assisted dying, the fact the approach voted through can fundamentally be changed in just two weeks- moving from a court to expert panel-does not calm concerns. If society wants to make a change, it should do so knowing that safeguards can -and will- be changed over time.

LONG THREAD: Okay, let's break down a few things, both about ID cards and Labour's ill-advised tactics on "fighting Reform". First off, I personally don't think ID cards would work in UK, because we are objectively bad at things like this, but they work elsewhere so this isn't about them per se. 1/

Dont just talk getting nos down.1st give us all a vision for a better Britain- thats inclusive of some immigration (& open/fair to asylum seekers).Without something bigger to believe in,it’s socially dangerous & politically damaging. Can’t out perform Reform with its core. Change the message & focus

On govt immigration policy.. “Keir Starmer could rally most Labour voters behind a cross party push for reform” could be an unintentionally prescient statement Fight Farage with “farage light” rhetoric,surely only Farage wins? Counter Reform where they’re weakest.. on Brexit & progressive change.

Kendall on ITV: "I think what the survey shows today is that despite all the myths, a lot of people who are currently on sickness or disability benefits want to work” Meanwhile Access to Work is broken, waits of over a year for disabled people who have a job to get the support. Stick but no carrot

There is a limit to how effectively any of us in UK are when it comes to influencing what is happening in US. One thing we can do is try to use the rights and laws we currently have in the UK to protect democracy and freedoms over here. That includes holding all our media to account
