My new report offers practical insights and honest reflections on developing Responsible AI Policy and Practice @artscouncilengland.bsky.social .... no shiny hype, just some real lessons learned along the way. @braiduk.bsky.social

Hi! As an experiment, I've added a couple "pay what you can" slots for advising sessions. You might use these to: - Talk through a creative project for sense-checking or figuring out how to break it into milestones - Discuss outreach for your project/company -Ask "pick your brain"-type questions

Siobhán McSweeney has been announced as the host of The Traitors Ireland.

I'm excited for AI to take Christmas off .... oh wait.....look the Open Consultation on AI and Copyright in the Creative Industries... has just launched... 🎄👩‍💻🫣

SXSW Panel Picker 'keyword search' can't seem to find one of my sessions - but if you'd like to vote for the 'The Art of Responsible AI' MeetUp with @braiduk.bsky.social you can search for '3122' and it comes up. Or my session CURATOR COMPUTER CREATOR search for '1266' 🫡✅

If PanelPicker is your thing - pop over and give us a vote - we'd love to bring together lots of fun and fabulous people - and SXSW seems like the perfect platform to do it!

I'm pretty sure my neighbour - who is a multiple houses landlord - has been using it when we have been discussing works on our leasehold building. The professionalisation of language from previous text exchanges is fascinating!

Labelers training AI say they're overworked, underpaid and exploited by big American tech companies

I'm so glad Scott is on Bluesky - one of my favourite twitter commentators - > brilliant as usual in this article!

This event was great! ... really good discussions.

I wrote a lot about the contemporary purpose of museums, libraries and archives in my PhD, and my visit to Oslo last week made me think back to the work that was happening in New York when I spent a summer there in 2012. It's not digital that's interesting, it's how digital shapes society ...

Deichman Bjørvika (Oslo Public Library) is a kind of scandi utopia of what a public commons can be. Giant makerspace, soft play, cinema rooms, music studios. Buzzing with all generations, making, learning, sharing space and ideas www.dezeen.com/2020/07/02/d...

Great insights, especially in the article: "Digital art work and AI: a new paradigm for work in the contemporary art sector in China" Artistic practices are changing - the artisanal labour is still there, it is just taking a different shape.

I made a starter pack but it made me tense because all taxonomies are political and no, I absolutely did not overthink this. Also! It is really hard to find people in your graph who have fewer followers. Bluesky should let you sort the list with least followers first. go.bsky.app/VFxSES6

And when he was told the sale price, he began to cry. “I am a poor man,” Mr. Alam, 74, said, his voice breaking. “I have never had this kind of money; I have never seen this kind of money.” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/27/n...

I'm currently editing a special issue on 'Artificial Intelligence: Cultural Policy, Management, Education, and Research' we are publishing as we go - with editorial coming out in new year www.frontierspartnerships.org/research-top...

Norway does good museums and dramatic skies. Was torn between looking at the art and the big skies yesterday afternoon. Apparently the building is designed to have that impact - framing the city and the art, and it hits the nail on the head.

Now this is tech for good that I can get behind - This 'AI Granny' Bores Scammers to Tears - brilliant example of what is possible when we think differently about a problem! uk.pcmag.com/security/155...

Arrived in Norway to work with MUNCH museum for a few days - nice to see Edvard moonlighting as a weather man at the airport!

Buenos Aires’ justice system is using ChatGPT to write legal decisions. “We, as professionals, are not the main characters anymore. We have become editors,” said one deputy attorney general restofworld.org/2024/buenos-...

Really like the focus on the human. The Congruence engine as a social machine - requires the agency of its potential users. Links will occur where people actually want links to be made. speed of automation but with very much human motivations www.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/projects/the... #tanc

Great new #artstech open call from @braiduk.bsky.social - applications close on 2nd December... braiduk.org/artist-commi...

Managed to get a ticket for the Van Gogh exhibition at The National Gallery - for one of the 7pm slots last week. Enjoyed the contrast of sunny paintings and dark dark London in Nov... next up ... attempt to get a ticket for the sold out Monet at the Courtauld before it finishes 🕵️‍♀️🎨

The fact that UCC hid a 3000-year-old mummy under the floorboards of a lecture theatre on a campus where two and a half tonnes of uranium rods were being stored in a basement nearby and DIDN'T end up with a zombie-pharaoh apocalypse is both a mystery and endlessly disappointing

I'm out at a gig in London on Thursday. We are all coming after work, but the 'no bags' rule means we can't bring our 'day bags' with us. One friend might have to drop out if she can't bring her laptop. I get it for security, but surely it puts people off going to gigs afterwork / midweek?

An essential read and vital call to support community tech: “The UK does not need to rely only on trickledown and spillover mechanisms to distribute the benefits of innovation, we could also nurture the vibrant, regenerative network of organisations already building technologies from the ground up.”

Here's a little test to see how the UK #arts BlueSky network is working already...: We (The Audience Agency, plus partners) are doing some research on performing arts #touring for Arts Council England (inc. music, dance, theatre, combined arts): www.artscouncil.org.uk/research-and... 1/2

Arts x Tech people can't recommend this residency strongly enough - I did it a few years ago. Spent two weeks reading books, thinking and writing about art and AI.. in a Scottish Castle. Closing date for applications 5th Jan 2025. hospitalfield.org.uk/residencies/...

BRAID are working with Better Images of AI with this call for artists who want to explore new ways to think about today’s AI braiduk.org/artist-commi...

It's the arts & culture starter pack from @themerl.bsky.social: go.bsky.app/HPQsZAu "Follow the past in the present on Bluesky through libraries, museums, galleries and archives!"

I made a Black women in tech starter pack because I couldn’t find one and it annoyed me. go.bsky.app/5upv7SQ

This starter pack might be useful for some of my mutuals! go.bsky.app/Ek7qMyo.

Recently worked with The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent to Curate 'Digital Dilemmas' a year long public program exploring the intersection of tech on society through the lens of artists and collections - you can now read our reflections > redcrossmuseum.ch/explore/medi...

We are thrilled to announce the BRAID Artist Commissions Open Call, encouraging new ways to think about today’s AI. Artists will receive a £10,000 budget to develop their work & will be showcased during the Edinburgh Art Festival 2025 at @inspacegallery.bsky.social 🎨 braiduk.org/artist-commi...
