The dangers of AI aren’t just a future issue - they're already here. Workers are monitored, hired and fired on the basis of algorithms. Decisions about your care, housing and benefits are being shaped by AI. Our human rights are under threat. Yet almost no one was asked first. buff.ly/TMr4EWW

Fear, anxiety and stress. This is the experience of migrants under the digital immigration system. A new report reveals how glitches, data errors and complex processes make it difficult to access to work, housing, study, travel and services. Read more ➡️ www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releas...

Annie and Lakeesha struggle in school. AI teacher assistants treated them very differently.

The fact that the first people big tech want to chew up and spit out are the people who work for them - and how disempowered those people are about resisting their own demise - should be a signal warning.

Tech workers could stop A.I. from taking hold, said Ms. Fong-Jones, a former Googler, adding, “but we’re all afraid enough to go along with training our own replacements.”

Former Shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds has even said Starmer and Reeves should consider a wealth tax. They can only bury their heads in the sand for so long. Now is the time to tax the super-rich properly and close the inequality gap.

The suit exchange should go down in history showing how brilliantly sharp and funny Zelensky is and how he put Vance down (all in his second language). Vance: Why don’t you wear a suit? You never wear a suit. Zelensky: When the war is over I’ll wear one. Maybe one like yours or maybe a better one.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

I’m just going to say it - it’s been pretty distasteful to me that other than oblique references there’s not been clear discussion at this Paris AI summit about the impact of Trump and Musk on the US. Why are people acting like shit is normal? 1/

Everyone is talking about how #ArtificialIntelligence will transform #teaching & #learning, but perhaps the biggest potential for impact will be on school administrative functions & support staff, writes @kate-jones.bsky.social from @unison.org.uk in SecEd: buff.ly/4hPdNVv #edtech

AI will transform teaching, but it will revolutionise administrative functions and the work of many school support staff

This plan is long on ideas for Big Tech & short on how to help people transition to the AI economy. It's a missed opportunity to address the things that people are really worried about AI: jobs, trust, power. Instead it's 50 points of ✨: like data centres = growth. Politically, it seems tone-deaf.

Reading this from the PM, I think my assessment is right. This isn't so much a technology plan or a delivery strategy but a shop window for investment. on.ft.com/4gNko2L

That's why, within days of our election, I commissioned venture capitalist Matt Clifford to develop a plan for harnessing Al's boundless potential. Today, we launch that plan and take forward the results.

Put simply, that's our message to anyone working at the Al frontier: take a look at Britain. Our ambition is to be the best state partner for you anywhere in the world. We can see the future, we are running towards it and we back our builders.
Because we know that Al has arrived as the ultimate force for change and national renewal.

Hearing about a public body that's just bought Microsoft Copilot licenses – because a senior leader thinks everyone should be using AI! – and told their staff to tell them what they could be used for. No policies, no training, no method of assessment about impact or for learning about what works.

Odd first post, but does anyone know of a feed for the budget that has live captioning? The roaring of the chamber is a bit overstimulating but can't find a stream online with subtitles or a transcript etc.
