Closing day one of #AIUK 24 is Angela McLean, Government Chief Scientific Adviser. Great to hear emphasis on the importance of public participation and earning the public’s trust.

Great question… “When we talk about ‘hidden’ labour… who is doing the hiding?” Panel answers that the obsfucation is deliberate, across many layers and enabled by corporate structures. Also the nature of this labour can be hidden due its remote nature. #AIUK 24

Great panel on the not often discussed side of data and AI … labour exploitation with Billy Perrigo Matt Buckley United Tech & Allied Workers (UTAW-CWU), Mophat Okinyi of the African Content Moderators Union and Karen Gregory from The University of Edinburgh #AIUK 24

“It’s really important to acknowledge that nothing is inevitable.. the hype, the progress, the future of LLMs… it’s not inevitable” Great stuff from Mhairi Aitken cautioning against the hype around LLMs #AIUK 24
