Join us 4 October at 6pm to hear @johnthornhillft in conversation with @azeem about his new book Exponential.
Together, they’ll explore if there really is an 'exponential gap' or a ‘gulf of mutual incomprehension’ between tech producers & everyone else?

Absolutely Dehenna. The way Boris encouraged everyone to make plans, offering them repeated assurances we were steadfast even as the evidence it was a terrible idea stacked up, only to cancel the insane project at the last minute leaving everyone caught short. Masterful.

What we saw last night *was* decisive leadership.
Truly strong leadership is doing what is right even when it is hard. Even when it won’t make you popular.
The luxury Labour in opposition have is not actually having to take any tough decisions whilst yelling from the sidelines.

Tom wanted a reminder of local Covid rates before going to town. So I wrote a script to fetch the latest case rate in the area from GOV.UK, and display it live.

Data & AI will not be effective against #COVID19 unless government addresses technical limitations, barriers to effective deployment & social impacts.
Today, we publish a rapid evidence review & our recommendations.
