AI for the rest of us | Just don't do anything bad, ok?

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, This week we held our September meetup in London where we discussed how AI is changing recruitment. The most surprising thing about the discussions that followed was that there was real consensus, not disagreement. AI didn’t create many of these problems, it just made them faster and larger. Sloppy CVs have always been a thing and CV review has always been a flawed process. The advice wasn’t particularly new either...

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, Hannah is away this week, so you’ve got Charles and Matt. Amazingly, we’ve been writing this newsletter for exactly one year; as Charles recalls it the original plan was to produce six issues in the run into the AI for the Rest of Us conference last year and we were worried we wouldn’t have enough to talk about. That hasn't been a problem! Over the past twelve months we've covered the rise (and often wobbly...

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, Charles is on holiday this week so we have a special guest writer contributing to this week’s newsletter. Matt Saunders will be known to many of you as the co-host of our London meetups but did you know he’s also Lead Editor for DevOps News at InfoQ? And the host of the popular community London DevOps?

AI for the rest of us Welcome to the AI community for everyone. Hello friends, It’s been a fun week for Hannah entertaining her niece and nephew again. We did Go Ape on Wednesday (covered in mud), made a fairy palace on Thursday (covered in paint) and then played some extreme hide and seek on Friday (covered in bramble scratches and more mud). Exhausted and bruised Hannah is now doing laundry and enjoying a quiet weekend. A weekend where there is no need to say “I’m going to go and read this...

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...
