This is not misinformation: Lewis Mitchell is giving a great sounding lecture tomorrow about misinformation. He’s promising maths and jokes. It’ll be fun and interesting. Get along to it!

This is such an important, well researched and designed piece of #DataVisualization on #ClimateAction that communicates 1) what we need to and can do now and 2) that we’ve know this for over a hundred years. Thanks ABC News!

From Thomas Bayes to Jean Baudrillard, If...then by Taina Bucher traverses the technical and political aspects of artificial intelligence with grace and insight. This is one of my favourite books yet from the AI Collaborative Network #aiethics #bookclub. Join us: github.com/ofchurches/AI_….

Thanks Laura Summers for leading the AI Collaborative Network #AIEthics #bookclub in another fascinating conversation, this time of Stuart Russell’s “Human Compatible”. Looking forward to next month’s discussion of “The Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford.

Nice one Tobin South! As a fan of measurement, the story of the Smoot is a classic and the Harvard Bridge is another stop of the “statistical history world tour” that should be made into a travel series.

Describing the world of AI ethics through linked travel stories is a brilliant frame for grounding the political problems of technology in the real considerations of our planet and the people who live here. Kate Crawford is the author for our current AI Collaborative Network bookclub.
