@artificialsimon @EdinburghNapier @CULLYAntoine Congratulations and all the best @artificialsimon!!

I'm very happy to announce that I'm starting as a Lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University @EdinburghNapier. After two amazing years at Imperial College at the AIRLab. Thank you @CULLYAntoine et al. at the lab. Looking forward to continuing to make robots intelligent.

We have a cover! What do you think? amazon.com/Probably-Overt…

"Most of the skills programmers need to work with LLMs are the skills they already have, but some of them will become more important, especially problem decomposition, reading code, and speaking the meta-language of programming." allendowney.com/blog/2023/04/0…

Hey @DataVizSociety - As part of @DataKindUK's @DataCollective_ , we're looking for expert speakers on data visualisation for a charity audience. Particularly around: accessibility, equity, and no-code tools (eg datawrapper). Is this something you can help with? 🧡 📈

It's been really nice coding over the weekend with @dssgber volunteers working on #DataforGood projects for three different organizations

@ElectricWeegie @owenthcarey ted.com/talks/nick_bos… depends, I like the definition of when an AI will surpass the average human intelligence. Also, this book was very interesting when I read it back in 98' goodreads.com/fa/book/show/8…

@owenthcarey The singularity is not the birth of AGI right? it’s growth of machine intel or tech progress beyond which all normal concepts will break down (so a likely fantasy tbh). GPT4 is def impressive but calling it AGI requires some extraordinary proof and tightening of concepts

Anyone who says GPT-4 isn’t AGI hasn’t coded with it long enough. Maybe they’ve coded with GPT-3.5, but I refuse to believe anyone who’s coded with GPT-4 thinks it’s not AGI. We’re at the singularity

We’ve pulled together our experience and the expertise of our community to provide you an essential guide on working with sensitive data We created guidance with @actnforchildren @digitalynn @darenasc bit.ly/wwsdata

Read "Top tips for working with sensitive text data" medium.com/datakinduk/top… from the project experiences at @DataKindUK #DataForGood

More charities than ever before find themselves collecting records of conversations from webchats, or phone calls How can they benefit from this #data - while using it responsibly? Read about our work with @actnforchildren to find out how to get started bit.ly/wwsdata

@DataKindUK @CCriadoPerez @farbandish We just had an excellent #ethics book club event on AI and Gender in Kaiserslautern, we used the recommended reading list by @DataKindUK on the topic, thanks for selecting the resources!

Our data #ethics book club is a buzz with discussion tonight, on AI and gender. We're talking about @CCriadoPerez's Invisibile women and @farbandish's paper on automated gender recognition. Our reading list: eventbrite.co.uk/e/data-science… #dkbookclub
