Good people, good chats, good learning

19 Jun 2025

19/07/25 London.

Thanks to the SIGiST team for organising and running a lovely conference. Some solid talks about AI.

At the end of the day myself, Eamon, Ayesha, Andy, Jit and Bug had a deep chat about the role of AI in society. I think we worked it all out and set the record straight.

It’ll be fine.*
