On Monday the HSJ named me as the "arguably the single most influential voice on ethics and AI policy" on their list of top 50 influential people for NHS tech in 20216 www.hsj.co.uk/news/the-50-... is (a) very kind; (b) most likely untrue. BUT FWIW here are my current top 10 AI messages 🧵:
If your MP has already signed, it's worth dropping them a quick thank you email to make it clear they have support from their constituents.
Saw a post linking an article on research metrics and went to bookmark it to read on work time, but no! I don’t have to! I don’t have to think about that ever again!
Green and Black Cross are offering trans-specific know your rights protest training this Friday. The link to sign up is here, and I’d appreciate it if you could share this widely.
My #librarymaxxing tip is City of London Libraries - membership is inclusive (can you prove your address basically). I used to love Shoe Lane Library - more (and more interesting) books than in my local library. You can use the Barbican library! Decent Libby / borrowbox collections.
Library card holders of Essex! Why not make use of your council's recent decision to make library reservations free again by reserving as many LGBT books as possible during Pride month? Little accidental Pride displays on every library reservation shelf.
This is a really good thread, and I suspect it’s true. Long before AI, 25 yrs ago, I remember various people telling me they were going to write a quick romance novel “for the money” (an M&B advance then was around £5k). None of them could do it. Editors & readers didn’t respond to insincerity.
