[Gary Horrocks @GaryJHorrocks]

One splendid takeaway from @CILIPinfo’s compelling #Rewired24 is memorable for its simplicity. #AI is a tool like any other tool. ‘IA before AI.’ Focus on information architecture, user education, the user experience. Continue to champion quality, consistency, discoverability

[Gary Horrocks @GaryJHorrocks]

👏 @CILIPinfo 4 Friday’s brilliant #Rewired24. My thoughts. #AI is just another enabling, albeit disruptive, tech. Dismiss the fear of disintermediation! We’ve been here b4 with the web. We need to review, critically appraise, question the quality of GenAI #DigitalTransformation

We actively encourage everybody in the library, knowledge and information sector to compete this survey

[Luke Burton📚 @biblioluke]

Take the @CILIPinfo #AiSurvey today and help create a better understanding of where the sector is in terms of AI adoption, policy & education. The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete, and the results will be published in an open access paper.

[Gary Horrocks @GaryJHorrocks]

Absolutely, mindbogglingly ironic that parents, teachers, young people themselves, have articulated concerns over online safety, the regulation of apps and the link between #socialmedia and anxiety and mental wellbeing. Now, this nonsense news. @Meta must be laughing at us all 😡

[Gary Horrocks @GaryJHorrocks]

We don’t know our arses from our elbows on the #onlinesafety issue. @Meta should be ashamed lowering the #WhatsApp age to 13. We need digitally minimalist phones that will enable young people to reap the benefits of tech but be protected from the perils #r4today @CILIPinfo @UKeiG
