New year, new ep, on data sharing in primary care. Happy new year Twitterlings!

[IDEA: The Ethics Centre @IDEA_Leeds]

In the first episode of @EthicsUntangled released in 2025 Jim speaks with Jon Fistein, a doctor and academic looking at the ethics of health data talked about what can be done about the fact that there's too much guidance, it's too complex, & that it's not always consistent.

By the way, like increasing numbers of others, seemingly, Ethics Untangled can be found at 'the other place'. Same handle. We'll keep posting on here, though, at least for the time being....

New episode out today, on touching through. What does it mean, and why does it matter?

[IDEA: The Ethics Centre @IDEA_Leeds]

There is a new episode of Ethics Untangled released today, entitled What Is Touching Through? this episode is a conversation between our podcast host Jim Baxter, IDEA's own Robbie Morgan and Will Hornett from the University of Cambridge

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

This is out last episode before Christmas, so have a good one and we'll see you on the other side.

@patstokes ..and also, how should we interact with people we know who are given to conpiracy theorising? I really enjoyed the conversation with Patrick and hope you do too.

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

Great chat in today's episode with @patstokes about the ethics of conspiracy theories.

[IDEA: The Ethics Centre @IDEA_Leeds]

There's some interesting ethical questions about conspiracy theories, & in this episode of @EthicsUntangled Jim speaks to Patrick Stokes, an associate professor at Deakin University, who has turned his attention to these questions.

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

@patstokes What is a cospiracy theory? Is there anything inherently wrong with conspiracy theories? What kinds of harms can be associated with conspiracy theoirising and how can we take proper account of those harms without losing the ability to spot actual conspiracies when they occur?

Currently talking to Adam about a sequel to this episode. Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to ask him!

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

in the latest episode of Ethics Untangled from @IDEA_Leeds I spoke to Adam Byfield, Principal Technical Assurance Specialist at NHS England. https://t.co/yxYbdUdIdI

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

I was interested to to talk to someone who is at the sharp end of trying to address these issues. How do you test AI systems in a healthcare setting? What are you looking for? What kind of assurance can you provide to patients and the public? Listen, leave us a review, say hello!

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

in the latest episode of Ethics Untangled from @IDEA_Leeds I spoke to Adam Byfield, Principal Technical Assurance Specialist at NHS England. https://t.co/yxYbdUdIdI

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

Adam's job involves providing ethical assurance for technical systems which are used in the NHS, including those which employ artificial intelligence. It's well known that AI, as well as providing some really exciting benefits, raises some distinctive ethical issues...

[Law at Leeds @Law_Leeds]

The latest episode of @EthicsUntangled features our very own Alex @Batesmith on how his career at the Bar and in international criminal law has led him to research the fascinating subject of 'cause lawyering'

@LPRGLeeds @cirle_leeds @CCJSLeeds

Have a listen:

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

@Batesmith Hope you enjoy it! And if you have time to drop us a quick review, especially if you're an Apple or Spotify person, that would be most excellent. Thank you!

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

New episode out today! Should Lawyers Be Fighting For a Cause? With Alex Batesmith. Get it here or wherever you etc. https://t.co/a1RcMlRL16

[Ethics Untangled @EthicsUntangled]

@Batesmith It's interesting to consider how this outlook complicates the ethical framework under which lawyers operate, which traditionally balances duties to the client with duties to the court, and to the rule of law.
