Pirating of IPTV at an "industrial scale". Where there is money in it, I think this will continue to happen. It also introduces cyber risk as such illegal solutions dont tend to be secure. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The digital divides (plural as there are many) are something we should seek to address so it is great to see this charities efforts to addressing the challenge. Both access to tech but also skills development is important. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Every child will have contact with a stranger online. I dont think the issue here is strangers, as all my now friends were strangers once, but is where the conversation moves to the inappropriate or where it is clear that the person has malicious intent. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

AI and the need for data vs. creativity and the people creating new and creative content; Can they co-exist? Does a creator want better AI solutions which might in turn see then out of work? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Efficiency sounds good but at what costs? Flexibility? Services? Jobs? These things tend to exist in balance, so if we gain efficiency what are we losing? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Nvidia is definitely riding the wave of AI excitement at the moment. I wonder how long this will continue. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Really enjoyed speaking about cyber and AI at #EdexecLive today. My AI session was standing room only, I suspect as a result of the recent government announcements re: digital skills and AI.

AI which may resort to blackmail if threatened with being removed. Sounds like something we humans would do and isnt AI modelled on our intelligence ? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

So maybe the M&S cyber incident started with a third party. To me this highlights that, after direct social engineering attacks such as phishing campaigns, third parties are the next biggest risk. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

So looking forward to today and the ISC Digital Conference. So many interesting speakers am just gutted I have to actually choose and cant therefore attend all the sessions. #ISCDig25

AI and EdTech for effectiveness or efficiency? A really good question. In terms of efficiency I do worry about time gains then being swallowed up by other tasks which don't positively impact on students or learning, or on teacher wellbeing. #ISCDig25

Brilliant point on students using ChatGPT allowing students to make good content or coursework but not having learned. Maybe we need to talk less of coursework and more about evidencing learning? #ISCDig25

Looking forward to hearing the Rt Hon Jim Knight and Laura Knight speaking about AI in schools and balancing the need for innovation with the need for responsibility. Promises to be an excellent session. #ISCDig25

Teaching as a vocation or a profession? Is it a craft? Interesting questions. #ISCDig25

Am looking forward to getting together with IT staff from across the SW next week, for more discussion and sharing.
