Looking forward to the @futureofprivacy.bsky.social Annual Meeting. Can't promise any live-blogging but will try to share any nuggets.

Today, the European Commission published the Code of Practice on marking and labelling AI-generated content: a voluntary instrument supporting the AI Act's transparency obligations from 2 August 2026. See digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/...

Guess which decade I grew up in 😅 Love this banger with an 80s feel. #music open.spotify.com/track/46ZRrF...

In the course of today, His Majesty’s Government will do both of the following things: - moan loudly about X and blame it for the grotesque scenes in Belfast; - create huge amounts of content for X to monetise To govern is to choose.

Fascinating episode with David Chalmers on consciousness more broadly, but also AI consciousness specifically. TL;DR: We just don't know. Unlikely now, but not in 50 years. open.spotify.com/episode/5OHE...

Excellent episode covering a lot of ground from grievance-based US politics, consequences of Iran war to AI's role in the future.

#PPOD: NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured this color-enhanced view of Jupiter’s northern hemisphere during its 61st close flyby of the giant planet on May 12, 2024. It provides a detailed view of chaotic clouds and cyclonic storms in an area known to scientists as a folded filamentary region. 🧪 🔭

Moments for reflection

Argentina is creating rules for companies run by artificial intelligence. A new form, called a "Sociedad Automatizada", would allow companies to operate through autonomous algorithms or AI agents, without people having to be involved in day-to-day work. www.scribd.com/document/104...

Will need to review in detail but 1) better late than never and 2) interesting but potentially risky bet on open source

In Dublin for the @iappp.bsky.social's #IAPPAIGG26. Looking forward to a great two days of interesting sessions. It's a bit too busy to live-tweet, but will try to drop interesting nuggets in this thread.

Fascinating @reckless.bsky.social interview with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr* on how AI is changing music production and the music industry. To the despair of the YouTube commenters, Harvey Mason Jr is taking a thoughtful and nuanced approach to the use of AI. youtu.be/VuMpkOuhx7A?...

I found my spirit animal

Big paper on AI coding agents using Github data. The early auto-complete tools (like Copilot) led to 2.2x as much code, local agents like original Claude Code led to 7.4x, & current remote coding agents 17.3x(!) But human bottlenecks in the coding process means actual releases "only" went up 30%.

Not sure about "biggest ethical crisis" but definitely "nuts"

Great column on the importance of not just focusing on avoiding AI risks but also defining a positive vision for AI. "We know what we fear A.I. will do to us. But what do we hope it will do for us?"

I’m a big fan of this visual aid

This is excellent. "The real question is not what the technology can do but what it ought to do."

Interesting article on what to cognitively "surrender" to AI while maintaining our ability to learn and think. "Balancing using AI with our own mental abilities is going to be a defining challenge of the coming years."

I look forward to next week’s #IAPPAIGG26 in Dublin. I’ll be joining Isabelle Roccia and Gintarė Pažereckaitė for a panel on the interplay between the EU AI Act and the GDPR. Join us to learn about the tensions and opportunities (and to say hello). iapp.org/conference/i...

Made a companion playlist to Stevie Wonder's 1970s imperial phase: some standout covers, his Syreeta partnership, and lots of songs he wrote for people like Minnie Riperton, Labelle, Pointer Sisters, Smokey Robinson, etc. Some fantastic songs I'd never heard before. open.spotify.com/playlist/5Vu...

I will courtesy-like each and every music recommendation I come across even if I hate the song / track. We need more music-posting here.
