I don’t want to delete this account as it started as a research project on Napoleon’s return to power. My work since with African Caribbean communities on Portchester castle puts me in a very different ideological space to X so I’ve fluttered elsewhere - hope to see you there.

This detailed report moves beyond our old slavery ports to show how provincial England & red brick universities connect to the transatlantic slavery economy. In #Nottingham, cotton, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, banking & slavery networks= key to this story

Literary translator Rosalind Harvey was interviewed this morning on the BBC Today Programme following Dutch publisher VDK’s announcement that they are to 'use AI to assist in the translation of a limited number of books’.
Hear Rosalind's insights on BBC Sounds: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0024n… and fast-forward to 2:49:31 (the last 10 minutes of the programme).

Significant, unnoticed, and unregulated. Frontline UK public service workers’ use of ‘raw’ AI translation is now widespread, exposing all parties to heightened risk.
A preliminary 📑 report by the @CIOL_Linguists and 🏛️ @BristolUni reveals widespread use of raw #AI #translation 🤖 primarily in the 🇬🇧 UK’s healthcare system, but also in social, ⚖️ legal, emergency, and 👮🏽♀️ police services.
