"After four years of intense training costing around £30,000, students somehow performing better" - Such surprise. Many shock. Wow.

The Electronic Trade Documents Act is now law, allowing digital trade documents to be legally recognised alongside traditional paper documents. Over the next decade, this could generate £1.14b in savings for UK businesses, enhancing efficiency and streamlining trading process.

Actually a very important question. Obviously this is a model making a mistake, BUT could a wrongful output from an LLM be grounds for a legal claim? I wonder if the experimental participation disclaimer factors in? Either way, says a lot about how biased data impacts output.

Best thing about having a partner in a totally different specialism is getting to experience different seminars/conferences. Currently with my better half watching a fantastic Trauma Care Charity UK seminar. Best thing about medicine though - like law, no knowledge is ever wasted!

AI used by criminals and terrorists is a real threat, and is already a thing, but in terms of using AI to develop bioweapons is neither a feasible nor realistic threat - even if the technology were available. More focus needs to be on the *actual* AI harms rather than nonsense.

Though the headline *is* somewhat misleading regarding the how and why of the deductions, this is still a fairly controversial rule in place which does indeed need reviewed - or at least an overrule mechanism in place. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/2…

The new tagline for twitter/X is “Blaze your glory!” I hope they offer a less enthusiastic option for British users. Perhaps something along the lines of “give it a go” or “it is what it is”

There are some benefits to AI in legal field, but only when used within specific and limited scope. It is certainly not ready to be a lawyer, but I can see limited legal support for non-represented individuals being valuable - esp in civil law. This can be done other ways though.

Imprison them where...??? Also, #facialrecognition isn't where it needs to be yet to deal with this - especially 1:N in public spaces for various reasons. The only offenders it would be effective against are already stopped by other methods.

Just got asked if I want to tip the company shipping my T-shirt to me (on top of the shipping fee I've paid). I often forget when dealing with US-based orgs how bizarre tipping culture is over there. Is this normal over there or is this extra even by American standards? 😅😅

This is an underdiscussed area of law - especially when it comes to AI. People with limited means to defend themselves will often please guilty despite being innocent. Opens up new ML risks esp in AI within criminal law.

“No lawyer should be criticised, or made the subject of a targeted campaign, for doing their job." Our full joint statement with The Bar Council, sharing our support for immigration lawyer Jacqueline McKenzie: "Everyone is entitled to legal representation, and it is a United

The phrase "AI-powered" doing a lot of heavy lifting here... eta.co.uk/2023/08/15/tur…

This is probably me overreacting, but it deeply bothers me when people and media outlets keep using the term "female police officer" when sex/gender isn't a vital part of the story. Police officers are police officers. Same training. Same standards. I never see it done for males.

All packed and ready for my Ultra North Ultramarathon tomorrow, taking place in (thankfully not sunny) #Newcastle! Loved it last year, and trying to beat my PB this year. Now just to sleep fitfully and anxiously before an early start tomorrow!
