In 1 week, 1.5 million AI agents reportedly joined #Moltbook. Silicon Valley lost its mind about AI sentience. I think it tells us more about other AI risks, snake oil & human behaviour. My latest @TheMachineRace explores the Moltbook phenomenon bit.ly/4qzwVLf #AIsafety

Why does diversity in AI matter? Why do we need women in #AI?
Because we’re all individuals, says Charlene Putney at #LondonTechWeek. Because why wouldn’t we need 50% of the population? We need the strands of every lived experience.

See my LinkedIn post for what @OpenAI says is coming for #AI - and for us - at London Tech Week.

Thrilled to be leading this work for @CARE International with @Accenture. If you’re a civil society organisation in the #GlobalSouth and have opinions on ‘responsible & inclusive #AI’, please send me a message on X or LinkedIn. @careintuk
#ArtificialIntelligence #ResponsibleAI
#GlobalSouth civil society need to be decision-makers in the design, deployment, use and governance of AI. @careintuk is excited to work with @Accenture to research #AI’s risks & opportunities as perceived by Global South communities.

Call to action for every #humanitarian. Maintaining business as usual without thinking about AI’s implications is like thinking politics is irrelevant to poverty or conflict. New for @TheMachineRace my regular blog on #AI & society

Yes! First day of #AIUK, the UK’s national showcase of #AI & data science. Looking forward to talks on #ResponsibleAI and #AIEthics - hopefully from a truly global perspective given my focus for my regular blog series on #AI & society (by @Suzy_Madigan) medium.com/@themachinerace
In 2024, over half the world’s population in around 76 countries is eligible to vote. In the age of #AI and #deepfakes, how can citizens navigate the ‘information landscape’ and know what is ‘truth’? New article @TheMachineRace by @Suzy_Madigan

Kurt Vonnegut's 8 rules for writing:
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

Heading to the last day of the #AISafetySummit fringe for an #AISummit breakfast debrief with @tegmark and Yoshua Bengio thanks to @Tortoise Media. Lot of talk about ‘golden tickets’ re limited spots at @bletchleypark this week. This might be one too.
#AI
After pushing for an international AI safety summit for 9 years, I was really moved to get to be part of it finally happening! @RishiSunak had more success than I'd expected, with striking unity between 1) US & China, 2) those focused on current harms vs existential risk & 3) inviting not just industry types but also a diverse bunch of industry critics. Now let's see if this moves beyond talk, to binding AI safety standards.

Excellent keynote from @Unesco’s @gabramosp as crucial talks on equitable AI governance are launched by @CosDorobantu and David Leslie from The Turing Institute and Queen Mary University within the #AISummit

It's the UK #AISafetySummit. For anyone wondering if #AI is safe for everyone with the power dynamics around diversity, they must listen to Prof Abeba Birhane, speaking here @wellcometrust at Day 2 of @AISummitFringe. A brilliant appointment to UN's Advisory Body on AI @Abebab
