Was beyond super to be part of the discussions for this first ever …ackbrownbioethics.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/event/bbb-conf…. Inspired by the work the co-founders are doing, conversations show that if we convene to break barriers, those communities we belong to, will ultimately benefit. #bioethics for all

Be careful with “we can tell the difference between AAs and Africans” discourse. Too often the perceived “difference” stated is just internalized colorism, featurism, and texturism combined with eugenics. And this is also weaponized against other African Americans.

Digital disengagement refers to motivational reasons for not being online or using digital devices. This may be an active choice or linked to reasons beyond someone's control. Our new POSTnote has more on digital disengagement and impacts on exclusion: post.parliament.uk/research-brief…

Great to see our Ada Lovelace Institute expertise, with evidence from APLE Collective & The Health Foundation inequalities research. Not all digital exclusion is bcoz of people: infrastructure not designed well = not working = increase inequalities. @Anna_Colom Anna

How do you support local authorities to ensure AI works for people and produces benefit? By having the right supporting mechanisms. Our research shows support to buy AI in the public sector is confusing and not fit for purpose. Read more w/ Ada Lovelace Institute Anna

👻Spooked by AI? It’s not the first time policymakers have had to govern highly complex, socially-important technologies. 🪦Read the lessons we dug up from the regulation of carbon emissions, financial services and pharmaceuticals: adalovelaceinstitute.org/report/new-rul…

Great to see this out on the world. When we think of ethics in AI, decisions about what to buy and why are really key. Get this (procurement) right, and you're on your way to societally beneficial AI. But there's work to be done. 👇🏾
