I was part of a panel at the award event for the DSIT Manchester AI Prize today, presented by Minister for AI Feryal Clark MP. The panel discussed what we can do to make the UK a global leader in AI for the public good - including through purpose-led, mission-driven research funding and challenges.

A great conversation at the AI Fringe talking about #sustainable #AI with @loiclnlg.bsky.social Dame Dawn Childs and Marina Jirotka. Sustainable AI needs good engineering, trusted data and multidisciplinary conversations on its responsible use and development.

Spent a wonderful day in Liverpool at the Royal Academy of Engineering People’s AI Stewardship Summit this week, connecting local innovators, researchers and stakeholders into conversation on #AI with community participants! The entrepreneurs said they heard lots they would take back to their work ❤️

Very reflective session at the Royal Society and Google Deepmind AI for science forum - how AI tools will require us to reflect on scientific methods both to adapt to new tools but ensure fundamental scientific principles are preserved
