Fascinating #AI chat on @SOEPTech this week. We're discussing.... discussing... erm, well actually the excellent @sophiasgaler can put it much better than me :)
So why are people in #Ghana not keen on #AI - it's unlikely to replace #jobs it can translate #languages the mainstream apps platforms don't? @sophiasgaler has been to #Ghana to find out more she's on @SOEPTech. Listen to the full episode here: somewhereonearth.co

I was really taken by what an important force YouTube is in India. The platform's actions in the run up to the Indian election matter. The outcome of the joint investigation is worrying to say the least.
4bn people can vote in >60 countries this year, many will lose access to the #internet. @ProtonVPN offer access to free VPN servers to those at risk of internet shutdowns during #elections. All with @GarethM and @PeterGuest somewhereonearth.co/

Excellent evening at @booksellercrow. In summary: a conversation about AI is not a proper conversation if it lacks the word "human". Currently merrily making my way through the book.
A book was launched. A shop was packed. More wine had to be sent for. Thanks all who came out to @booksellercrow this evening. So enjoyed discussing the history of AI, and the very human heart of our endeavours to build god-like machines. On sale everywhere tomorrow x
