We had a fantastic first day of the Lovelace -Hodgkin Symptom @LHSymposiumAI we heard about how #AI can be helpful to #research & #education sector, how our staff, students and pupils are using it. How the assessments focusing on memorising facts can change into #criticalThinking #EthicalLiteracy Looking forward to the next two days in AI & #society and #policy. We have researchers, members of @ScotParl, senior management of the universities, NGOs Read @JodeHarrisonHT report in @heraldscotland on our events heraldscotland.com/news/24625946.… @UofG_CDSAI @LyLuBach @Ciorsdaidh

An honour to close the @LHSymposiumAI at @UofGlasgow's Advanced Research Centre. #AI brings enormous opportunities to raise global living standards and address some of the most critical issues facing humanity. But it also poses complex ethical problems. #glasgowAIethics

Huge thank you to the wonderful @SoulFoodSister_ for delicious, plentiful, restoring food @LHSymposiumAI @UofG_CDSAI The sisters are the best and not a single baklava was wasted!

Oyidiya Oji -Digital Rights Adviser, European Network Against Racism We loved your analogy relating hand sanitizer to AI…it doesn’t work for everyone! A great way to break down this idea! #glasgowAIethics

@AndrewStruan Congrats!

Some personal news: I’ve been appointed as the new Director of Academic Services at the University of Glasgow. My new role has responsibilities across student learning development, academic development, policy, quality and regulation, Registry, and transnational collaborations.

Fantastic and thought-provoking Day 2 Keynote @LHSymposiumAI from @elmosmoe and @Scottish_AI focussing on why trustworthy, fair, equitable AI is so important. “AI mirrors the flaws of society”. We need to consider our societal bias and how these are perpetuating in AI

@Scottish_AI @PHAWM_project Now Oyidiya Oji @ENAREurope calling for efforts to bring down barriers in AI (importantly around language too) “so people can dream about it”

So pleased to be part of Lovelace Hodgkin syposium on AI ethics @LHSymposiumAI and great to see this write up in the @heraldscotland @JodeHarrisonHT #glasgowAIethics heraldscotland.com/news/24625946.…
