(Free eprint currently at that link but email me if paywalled.) And huge thanks to @joannekuai.bsky.social & @fabianlferrari.bsky.social for including me in their incredibly thoughtful @icsjournal.bsky.social AI governance special issue — full issue to come but individual papers at journal site.

New paper! In @icsjournal.bsky.social I argue that governing #AI means “scale work” — the labour of stabilizing AI *across* relationships that are usually tackled in isolation. I use journalism’s GenAI encounters as a case study, connecting siloed AI collisions www.tandfonline.com/eprint/T7WWF...

Wrapped up two fantastic conferences — AANZCA25 and JERAA25 — my first as a newcomer to Australia’s Media & Comms community. Brilliant people, inspiring papers, great keynotes, and very generous Queensland weather. Yes, I even became a 6am swimmer?! 🌊😂 Feeling welcomed, energised, and grateful. 🧡

Pleased to be quoted in a new Fix article on how publishers can respond to AI bots scraping journalistic content. Protecting journalism in the AI era requires fairness, accountability and stronger direct ties with readers. #AI #Journalism #MediaPolicy #NewsIndustry

Great to take part in the International Conference on Platform and AI Society in Asia, which took place at Deakin University last week. Huge thanks to the organisers, and all participants for such rich discussions. #AI #AIGovernance #AIandSociety #AsianMedia
