Thoughts from the @braiduk.bsky.social event thus far (shaped through my own interests and thinking) People's desire to shape AI in society was very present (but I missed a sense of grassroots work eg AI4LAM in GLAMs, other equivalents) ...

Published today: The Responsible AI Ecosystem: A BRAID Landscape Study. @ftollon.bsky.social & @shannonvallor.bsky.social introduce us to the report in the latest BRAID blog braiduk.org/the-responsi...
