"the rush to adopt #AI by those without a thorough understanding of its capabilities and potential impact on an organization or society can quickly turn promise into vulnerability when put into untrained hands." Brilliant stuff (again) from Rosalyn Metz: rosalynmetz.substack.com/p/the-de-pro...

But back to London. I sadly missed Yoshida Ayomi but did catch Tirzah Garwood at the Dulwich. Such a chilled show (if rather too much of her husband 🙄) #art #London #Dulwichpicturegallery #TirzahGarwood theweek.com/culture-life...

Also on the love list - Poussin's 'A Dance to the Music of Time' - and yes, I'm re-reading the novel (again). Endless thanks to my former colleague Graeme Cannon for immaculate book recs. #wallacecollection #art #poussin #anthonypowell wallacelive.wallacecollection.org/eMP/eMuseumP...
