We have run out of Yorkshire Tea in the office, this means that we (I) have now also run out of research power.

It really amuses me that LinkedIn thinks my job is “Postdoc” like Ken’s job is “beach” because, yes, sure, my social science degrees qualify me to work in the centre for brain health - why not!

Trying something out ... a lunchtime reading group for hopeful technologists. If anyone wants to come, perhaps we can make it a semi-regular thing. For the first one, let's read Ruha Benjamin's Imagination: A Manifesto www.careful.industries/blog/2025-2-...

I feel sad and angry about the UK government's decision not to sign the statement from the AI Action Summit. Not because I think it presents a rare new hope, but because they have decided to follow Trump and Musk. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

DOUBLE PAPER WEEK. In addition to the publication of our (Me + @floridi.bsky.social + friends) health apps paper, we’ve (Zoe Cocchiaro + me, @floridi.bsky.social, @claudionovelli.bsky.social + friends) have just published our “who is an AI ethicist?” paper here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I'm so looking forward to @dhrewired.bsky.social next month (though it's a little nerve-wracking being a featured speaker) . Finessing my title & slides over the next couple of weeks, but currently working with: Keep Calm and Rewire: Moving AI from Silicon Valley's 'Me' to the NHS's 'We' 😉

A Comment article in Nature Medicine argues that clinical research should recruit participants from LGBTQIA+ populations, which requires specific actions and policies to create affirming and welcoming environments. https://go.nature.com/3WILuQi 🧪

This is utterly insane. My last grant proposal includes at least 10 of these words inc. bias, barriers, sociocultural, inequities, systemic, discrimination, and diversity. I am lucky, I can (& will) go home. But this is a disaster for US science & the positive impact it can have on the world.

Read the whole thread. Most of my research would be airbrushed out of all funding and publication in USA right now. NB good luck doing epidemiology research without the word 'bias'. #academicsky #episky

So the new BMJ Digital Health and AI journal is now accepting submissions bmjdigitalhealth.bmj.com/pages/about. Also both @maxi-macki.bsky.social and I are on the editorial board as Associate Editors so you know it's a cool place for your research to hang out

Latest laptop sticker purchase. I already have a t-shirt with this on, but since it will sometimes need washing I won't be able to wear it every single day for the next four years I thought I needed something a little more permanent.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

I’m so glad I spent several weeks last year working intensely on an NIH grant related to the practical governance of Health AI which was due to be reviewed next month. It’s not like Trump just froze NIH grant reviews or revoked the executive order on AI or anything. www.science.org/content/arti...

Whenever I’m getting ready to comment on a government policy doc (eg the digital blueprint/ state of government), I hand write my notes as I read like a stream of consciousness. Doing this with my Oxford digital ethics lab “every bit as good” (😉) pen helps me stay on the right analysis path.

I'll get to the Digital Government blueprint, for now enjoy this podcast the day after publication of the UK AI Opportunities Action Plan. It's a wide ranging conversation & on top of that be entertained by my wild hand gestures, fidgeting & inability to maintain eye contact youtu.be/8ykoxDSM75g

No surprises but it’s Day 1 and already there’s no more Executive Order on AI, nor membership of either the WHO or the Paris Climate Agreement. This is going to end so well.

Today, on a podcast, I said that tech regulation currently has a bad rep like Taylor Swift in 2016/17 and it’s possible that I have now peaked.

Trying to write my all-in paper “Closing the Health AI implementation gap requires information infrastructure design” has been driving me 🍌 because it keeps either being too long or too jumpy. But I just rewrote ~v5k & it’s 3.5k words shorter AND makes sense. I feel invincible
