Really proud of Dr Shingi Masanzu who has just been awarded the LSE 2025 FLIA PhD Dissertation Prize ‘recognising outstanding doctoral research that advances critical perspectives on Africa and global development’. Shingi was a joy to supervise and this is so well-deserved. @lselaw.bsky.social

AI sceptic Emily Bender: ‘The emperor has no clothes’ I suggest this is widely read. At least to get another take. And of note too that her co-authors, senior members of the ethical AI team at Google, lost their jobs at the company shortly after their publication.

Scary, slightly hopeful that there will be effective pushback against this manifestation of governance by greed and narcissism. AI race, like climate change & war, is the end of life & beauty as we know it, so some can get richer. ‘Godfather’ of AI Yoshua Bengio says latest models lie to users’ FT

Francoise was a powerhouse, fearless, smart. I remember those years at the UN, how she gave young women, like me, courage to say it like it is without apology. Such a loss to the good fight. Thank you for all you stood for, Francoise. My condolences to all in her wide circle. #francoisehampson

Trump and Noem’s threats to eliminate FEMA — a shared, if imperfect, resource for people and communities in crisis — is a very direct manifestation of end times fascism.
