Tom Baker as an AI butler ... do you remember? Early 1990s envisionment video of personal AI agents. Can't find on YouTube and Google scholar. I *think* the following Wired article is alluding to the video. Any pointers anyone? wired.co.uk/article/google…

Today is my last day Cardiff Metropolitan University.  I won't be idle; "Introduction to AI" is due out in June and other books in the way, but a change of pace and focus. To mark this and turning 65 I will run 65 miles in a week in July in aid of Cancer Research UK. alandix.com/blog/2025/05/2…

See slides and notes of "Enabling the Digital Artisan" my talk at ICOCI earlier today. Unhindered technology always favours the big and powerful - can radical digital and AI technology empower thesmall? Nicolas Cianca Cardiff Met Research & Innovation Services alandix.com/academic/talks…

In just over a week (6-10 July) leading up to my 65th birthday, I'm running 65 miles in aid of Cancer Research as cancer affected several family and friends recently. The multi-day run starts with a marathon distance over the Brecon Beacons mountains. justgiving.com/page/alan-dix-…

A day to go before my 65 for 65 run starts. Weather looks a bit miserable for Sunday (marathon over the mountains) I'll look just like the picture! After that much better. Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far, I've pushed target up to £1065. justgiving.com/page/alan-dix-…

Just getting ready to set off for day 2 of 65-for-65 now. Shorter run today about 14 miles Merthyr to Pontypridd. A bit of a drive and then train journey to get to start, so my first tweet on Alan Walks Wales won't be for a couple of hours. justgiving.com/page/alan-dix-…

Just setting off for Day 4, finishing off Taff Trail and then a loop around the Cardiff Bay Trail. Approx 9 or 10 miles. Hoping to get breakfast at the Senedd when I finish :) justgiving.com/page/alan-dix-…

About to set out for Day 5, the last day. Five miles from Aberaeron to Llanarchaeron and back, but only a mile of that needed to reach 65 miles! Set to be heatwave today, but will be finished well before the heat of the day sets in. justgiving.com/page/alan-dix-…

Last post about 65-for-65. Having now turned 65 I've written some reflections on the experience: 70 miles running in five days through spectacular Welsh mountains and valleys and over £1300 raised for Cancer Research UK - thank you so much to all who contributed. alandix.com/65-for-65/refl…

Yay, the new edition of Statistics for HCI has been sent to Springer ! On track to be published in first half of 2026. New chaps on big data, AI and computation heavy stats. Post-its in marked up 1st ed made me feel like a PhD student in a viva again :-/ alandix.com/statistics/sec…

I’ve sent the manuscript of AI for Human-Computer Interaction to Routledge Books. It explores the rich human side of AI – how AI can help in user experience design and how effective interfaces can help make AI usable and useful. Due out early 2026. alandix.com/ai4hci/2025/12…
