Zelenskyy warned that allowing Russia to sell millions of tons of diesel to global markets would help fund its war against Ukraine, responding to Trump’s announcement of the proposed deal. “Gifts to Putin will not bring peace,” Zelenskyy said. buff.ly/SXrvYnA

Zelenskyy: @Precisely at this moment, when we are talking about peace, America is giving Russia the opportunity to export diesel. This is... I don't know. “I believe our team is simply being used as a cover. And this is definitely unfair. “This is definitely un-partner-like.”

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Vergleichsbild des Matterhorns vom 29. September 2026 und 29. September 2025. Oben ist die Landschaft rund um das Matterhorn weitgehend schneefrei und von grauem Geröll und Fels geprägt. Unten sind das Matterhorn und die umliegenden Hänge ein Jahr zuvor grossflächig mit Schnee bedeckt.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Had a UKRI funded grant proposal rejected at the "AI triage stage". "This AI-based triage was used only to identify approximately 50% of the strongest proposals to take forward to full human review." 🧪 #academicsky

I am writing to let you know that, unfortunately, your application was not successful.

Review process

As part of the initial triage of the 179 proposals submitted to this call, each was assessed using an AI-based review. Every proposal was read independently by several different AI models against the same seven criteria used to shape this call (including cyber security relevance, research quality and novelty, importance of the problem addressed, feasibility of the project plan, likely outputs and impact, value for money, and responsible research practice), with each model asked to give a score and a written justification with supporting quotations from the text. To guard against any one model's idiosyncrasies, we also ran a second, independent process in which different AI models debated the merits and weaknesses of each proposal before reaching a judgement, again against the same criteria. Scores from both processes were combined to produce an overall ranking.

This AI-based triage was used only to identify approximately 50% of the strongest proposals to take forward to full human review. Projects selected for funding were drawn from those that progressed to the full human review stage. We recognise that AI-assisted assessment is a new and evolving part of the review process, and we are continuing to evaluate how well it aligns with the judgements of human reviewers on this call. We will soon produce a document detailing our method, so that others can build upon it and improve it.

Feedback on your application

Your application was not selected to progress beyond the AI triage stage. To provide transparency on the outcome of this assessment, we are sharing below the scores (out of 5) from each of the two AI review processes described above, together with the mean score across the two processes.
