Had an amazing conversation yesterday with this org plus AI Youth and @inbitspodcast.com about the phase we are in right now. It's worth looking at the metaphors that young people are using around "ai" and how best to reframe this narrative

In my first op-ed for @nytimes.com, I argue that the alliance between Silicon Valley & the US government is a threat to democracy. The Republican tax bill now up in the Senate, which would ban states from regulating AI for a decade, will only cement that trajectory. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

I can't wait to sort through some great ways to more creatively represent the issues related to digital and work than dumping a white robot next to a computer!

Statement from DSIT today is so confusing. There has been a power imbalance in this country. Which can only be fixed by ignoring the needs of civil society in favour of working with big tech and VCs. Because, they are not powerful enough? Does it mean old ideas like ethics, safety and inclusion?

It's been a wild 5 years - please join us to celebrate it an an online community event!

Circle of life or something. Great article and image.
