#aibeyond2025 - @aj-boston.bsky.social discusses the variation of views and opinions between AI evangelists and AI atheists and how, despite *however much we may want to*, we can't simply avoid discussion of "AI".

I’ll be making a video appearance at this symposium, alongside @aj-boston.bsky.social, speaking about AI, ethics, and reclaiming agency. The whole programme looks amazing, and if time zones weren’t a thing, I’d be there live for all of it! 📚 #AcademicSky

Beyond Certainty – what does ‘Discovery’ mean in an open and AI world

This Symposium will bring together thought leaders across different areas to share ideas and provocations regarding discovery implications.

Frank Den Hartog in this #AHECS panel wishes cybersecurity posture to be included in the OH&S section of academic promotion applications. 🤩

Nicola O'Brien (UTS ) in this #AHECS panel commented that it is very difficult to engage via text....people don't read more than a ten word headline. Disappointingly, she declared that she has no intention to become a security influencer on TikTok 😆but did give props to the UTS social media team.
