"The biggest danger from all this is that people stop trusting anyone, and that leads to disengagement from democratic decision-making."🏛️

@esimperl talks to @Newsweek about the latest AI tool countering misinformation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. 🤖

Nodding vigorously as @russellwald tells @dataforpolicy conference #dataforpolicy2024 that there has been too much focus on compute power for AI in academia and government but #publicsector #datasets for researchers could drive more innovation

@SW_Help Thank you

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

Hi @SW_Help my daughter left something at Fratton Station today when the trains were cancelled - it’s been handed in by the guard. Can Fratton keep hold of it and let me know how/when to pick it up? Thanks!

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

@SW_Help So please could you just let Fratton Station know I am coming to get it?

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

@SW_Help I can’t collect tonight, it’s shut already.

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

@SW_Help That’s what I’m trying to say - please can you get Fratton to hold on to it

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

@SW_Help Hopefully Sunday

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

@SW_Help Great, just checking they won’t send it to Lost Property at Waterloo before I can get there!

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

@JulesArk Yes! I loved it, particularly Hannah W, all the nods to 80s action movies, and the completely surprising music choices

@richardgomer @nationaltrust It’s a wonderful way to protest the Tufton St agenda. I particularly enjoy making my stand with a vegan scone at one of the #Mottisfont jazz evenings in the rose garden.

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

@johnwright79 Agreed, it is brilliant, and in fact the times that it just gives up and suddenly announces some obscure Italohouse track is definitely Destiny’s Child only make me find it even more delightful.

Thrilled our paper on users’ experience of LLMs for knowledge graph construction has been accepted for the late breaking work track at #chi2024

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

Very happy to say our paper calling for more proactive engagement with citizens in data-driven innovations has been published by the brilliant Data & Policy journal.

Hi @BootsUK ironically door 17 of my daughter’s ‘17’ advent calendar was empty. Which is not so festive when you’re 12 and you open an empty box.

@johnwright79 I’ve already had an NHS appt for 2025 made and cancelled because ‘the consultant is not available’ 😂

[Dr Johanna Walker @ms_j_walker]

If you are at #EBDVF next week please come and hear @GefionT and me discuss ethical and social aspects of data governance and how it can support your data driven innovation @EuHubs4 .
