Just launched my Substack space! 🚀If you're interested in evidence-led insights on AI, data, leadership, and neurodiversity, let's connect and rethink the future of work together. 👇substack.com substack.com/@anthonyjmag...

“Mi ambicion es fuego, nunca fracaso…” 🔥🇬🇷 Greece really said chaos, sequins, tiger-core and glam goth raven energy… and somehow made it work perfectly. Even Chip was hypnotised. Kitty energy activated. #Eurovision @eurovision.tv #Akylas

Chip loves Czechia's entry @eurovision.tv. Mesmerised ❤️. #Crossroads #DanielŽižka

Long week. Delayed trains. Too much thinking time 🚆 Finished and published my latest newsletter tonight on wearable AI, privacy, trust, and why people deserve a voice in shaping what comes next. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-gla...

As someone who works in data and AI, I genuinely love and am impressed by what @spotifyuk.bsky.social is doing with Gen AI playlists. A really strong mix of contextual understanding, personalisation, and genuinely good recommendations 🎧

Spotify’s Gen AI playlists are a brilliant example of AI orchestration done well. Better context + intent modelling = fewer retries, less wasted compute, lower environmental impact, and higher adoption. AI efficiency is not just model size. It is smarter design. #AI #DataStrategy #LLM

Frank Skinner on. @miloedwards.bsky.social doing Roger Moore. I’m laughing… and my dog genuinely looks like she is too. Either elite comedy or elite emotional mirroring 😂. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... @frankskinner.bsky.social

Donald Trump and his inner circle are simply bullies. I seldom comment on politics, but the UK has a checkered past (who hasn't) but we learn from it and try to avoid history repeating itself. Strength in peace through cooperation not threatening friends with valid perspectives.

AI will change jobs. It always does. The question is whether we create better work, better skills and wider opportunity. That’s the focus of my latest edition of my newsletter. Use the tools. Keep people at the centre. 🔗 www.linkedin.com/posts/anthon...

My niece and I are autistic and completed our 5k for Autism Acceptance Month. Our Chipathon was slow, steady and joyful with star dog Chip 🐶 My sister and brother-in-law were brilliant allies. We smashed it. Still time to donate 💙 waam.autism.org.uk/fundraising/... @journalautism.bsky.social

Autism awareness is not enough if systems still fail autistic people. Acceptance means redesigning schools, workplaces and society around autistic lives. Later this month I’ll walk 5k with my niece for waam.autism.org.uk/fundraising/... www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

In an increasingly AI-assisted world, how we communicate matters. If something feels automated or dehumanised, say so. I rarely respond to spray-and-pray InMails. But if there’s real context, segmentation, or effort then for sure I’ll engage. Respect people’s time. Respect the human.

Spoke to someone at the station today with family in Iran. Politics fades when someone says they’re worried about people they love. Whatever our views on governments, ordinary people carry the consequences. We are more alike than different. Solidarity with families living with uncertainty today.

AI literacy isn't about fear. It's about agency. When young people understand how AI works, they shift from passive consumers to critical, empowered users. @dajbelshaw @ictevangelist #AILiteracy #CriticalThinking

80% of secondary students use generative AI routinely. 40% trust outputs completely without verification. Not a reason to panic. A reason to be intentional. @danfitzpatrick #AIinEducation #DigitalLiteracy

Critical thinking. Prompt engineering. Questioning the machine. Core skills now. They belong in English Language and Computer Science, blended. In my opinion. @dajbelshaw @tombennett71 #CriticalThinking #FutureSkills #UKEducation

The goal isn't automation. It's augmentation. AI should amplify outcomes for students, not replace the tacit knowledge and skills we're trying to build. @ictevangelist #EdTech #AILiteracy

Looking forward: schools don’t need to be AI experts. They need to understand experience - how digital systems shape confidence, behaviour and emotional regulation. That’s where wellbeing, evidence and education genuinely meet. #EduTech #DfE #Education

I love AI. That's exactly why frameworks matter. Bias exists not because AI is bad, but because it learns from us. Without conscious choices, we bake in inequity by default. @leonfurze @danfitzpatrick #AIinEducation #ResponsibleAI.

People log on BlueSky and see thousands of posts. People log on Instagram and see thousands of pics. People log on Facebook and see thousands of posts. But people open an email to read just you. Most don't understand how big of an advantage this is.

Many UK teens say AI makes learning faster but sometimes shallower. Concerns about creativity and independent thinking highlight why AI literacy must sit alongside adoption. https://www.oup.com/education/secondary/ai-and-learning-research

National Literacy Trust shows around two-thirds of young people use generative AI, often for schoolwork. Guidance and literacy make the difference. https://literacytrust.org.uk/research-services/research-reports/young-people-and-teachers-use-of-generative-ai-to-support-literacy-in-2025/

UK datasets show no simple link between time online and later mental health outcomes. Context, purpose and interaction quality matter most - nuance beats panic. That doesn't mean there is not a link. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/sep/06/screen-time-mental-health-children-studies

Looking back; thinking forward: Young people don’t experience AI as neutral software. Research shows conversational AI is often perceived as relational, not transactional - trust forms quickly when systems feel human. https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.15117

Understanding why young people turn to AI matters as much as regulation. NHS and HCPs warn against unregulated AI being used as therapy especially without safeguards. BACP: https://www.bacp.co.uk/news/news-from-bacp/2025/therapists-warn-of-dangers-as-children-turn-to-ai-for-mental-health-advice/

Looking back: young people already seek help online. Youth Endowment Fund found 1 in 4 UK teens have used AI chatbots for mental health support. This reflects unmet need and not recklessness.

Looking back: digital influence isn’t emerging — it’s embedded. Ofcom shows around half of UK children already use AI tools. AI 🧠 is now part of the wellbeing context schools operate within whether we plan for it or not.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

For schools, the real question isn’t “Are young people using AI?” It’s “How do digital systems make young people feel, behave and learn?” That’s where wellbeing, behaviour and education meet and where this conversation needs to stay.

#BlueMonday isn’t evidence-based (it came from a 2005 marketing campaign). But winter mood dips are real: less daylight disrupts circadian rhythms, routine loss increases cognitive load, and stress hormones rise all amplified for AuDHD brains. My big plus vs '25? Chip 🐾 Regulation beats labels 💙

This time of year is hell for many of us. Nothing works, all the consistency and routine dissapears. We are still expected to be perfect. Nope. Be kind to eachother and especially think of those with ASD and ADHD.

Neurodiversity & the End-of-Year: A Data-Informed Reflection www.linkedin.com/pulse/neurod...

With OCD and an immune deficiency, health shapes so much of my world. It also shapes children’s ability to learn and their futures. This edition comes from lived experience as much as data. www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-h... #Absenteeism #Education #FluSeason #HealthInequality

Not an ad. Just me sharing what works: I take lactoferrin daily because research shows it binds iron, limits pathogens, and supports immunity. Studies link it to antiviral action vs flu & more. Always check with your GP first. loox.io/z/6zQKe_GUTS... #ImmuneSupport #Lactoferrin #Flu #Influenza

A frosty reception at the train station this morning. Quite literally. Brrr 🥶. P.s. Defrosted my head and picked up Chippies icicle this morning (Aka. Dog 💩).

This is the cute Chip with her warm and weather proof Storm Burt clobber on.

Visited the 9th Fort, Kaunas last month. An unforgettable reminder: when division takes hold, humanity can fracture in terrible ways. Today we honour the lost, acknowledge the grief, and recommit ourselves to unity and compassion. We are strongest when together. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay

A new week ahead of data and human-in-the-loop automation. Real control isn’t about machines — it’s about clarity, focus, and purpose. AI, attention, and accountability — who’s really in control? #AI #DataScience #Leadership www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-att...

My queen the Chip of latte hall. Love you my dearest xx

So sad to hear about Diane Keaton what an amazing talent. Now entertaining for eternity xx

Train everything Question everything And find the joy in everything along the way

When your mental health is not in the right state, give yourself a break. Don't feel guilty for things you can't do. Your mental health matters.

Almost home. Kaunas a treasure - calm, kind, layered in stories. The food, the warmth, the pause. Travel feels different post-diagnosis — slower, more sensory, more grateful. Sudie (soo-dee-eh), Kuanai (koo-ah-nai), ir ačiū (eer ah-choo) x #AuDHD #Lithuania #Kaunas #Lietuva

Exploring Kaunas with my friend Caroline — calm, kind, sensory peace. Found The Tooth of the Beast of Kaunas, said to bring luck to those who share it. Maybe calm is luck after all. 🦷✨ #Kaunas #Neurodiversity

Through security in record time at Stansted 🌻 Staff spotted my sunflower lanyard & guided me straight to the front. No fuss, just quiet kindness. Grateful for these unexpected moments of empathy...Thank you! @stnairport.bsky.social

Dearest Lief, you will be missed and always have a place in my heart. You have been a loyal and loving friend to Claire and to me for so many years. You can now rest in kitty heaven for eternity. God bless sweetie xx Love Claire and Anthony
