AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, Charles and his eldest went to Newlands Corner on Wednesday to watch the eclipse, where Guildford Astronomical Society were handing out free eclipse glasses. They took a picnic and made a bit of an evening of it. It was enormous fun. Even old cynicy boots Charles enjoyed himself. Charles’ youngest didn’t fancy the crowds so stayed at home with Charles’ wife and managed to see it with the aid of a colander and a...

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, This week Hannah and Charles got to hang out in person at the AI for the rest of us Summer Social in Central London. It was absolutely buzzing! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the celebration and to Rezonant for sponsoring the event!

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, Hannah is off this week so you’ve just got me, but I can tell you that we’re both really looking forward to the AI for the rest of us summer social on Wednesday July 22nd.

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, When the sun is shining in London it isn’t uncommon to see pubs and beer gardens start to fill up from the moment they open at 12pm, sometimes earlier. There’s nothing we like more than a cold pint in the sunshine. For event organisers this means we have stiff competition, do you stay inside and listen to a talk about AI or do you join the masses in the beer garden for a sundowner? This month you don’t need to...

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, Hannah is still living out of a suitcase. After taking a few days off following OWASP she arrived home at 5pm on Thursday, repacked her case and headed off for a weekend away at 1pm on Friday. It’s been a whirlwind year so far but luckily there are no more flights booked until September. That feels weird but good. Flying back over the wind farms off the coast of the Netherlands Hannah felt inspired by the sight of...

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, Well it looks like we’re getting a new Prime Minister here in the UK. This will be the 6th PM in the past 7 years which makes you wonder if this has become an impossible job, a role that no one can fulfil. To get elected is a personality contest and the prize is to be villainised and targeted by a relentlessly negative media with whatever story they think will get the most clicks that day. It's disappointing. It's...

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, Happy Father’s Day, unless you are in a country that doesn’t celebrate it today in which case, um, happy Sunday. This week Charles has mostly been at his desk tapping away. Hannah has also been at her desk tapping away. This is good from a work point of view but doesn’t, it has to be said, make the most exciting of intros. Next week should be a bit more exciting: Hannah is travelling to Vienna to give the opening...
