Following on from my blog just before Christmas, I’ve sat down to think about the approach to my project, a timeline and take a look at the literature. Here are my thoughts so far: Research Idea One: Looking into PIP What am I researching? Two options are possible under this banner based on my current […]

Term 1, Year 2 completed! This term has been quite light in that I have only had two modules, though as they both had group projects I found I spent a lot of time working with other students to get work done. I’ve found the engagement at the start of the year to be a […]

  I’ve done so much reading on AI and the issues around it for the last few years that I needed to organise my thoughts. I’ve started a MIRO mind map that I will add to as I read more, but here it is so far. It’s referencing a lot of different papers and books, […]

I tried to focus on reading ‘for fun’ this summer and while I read some fiction I did end up consuming a few non-fiction books and podcast series that gave me some food for thought. The first book that really got the brain whirring is by Frans de Waal, a primate behavioural scientist who’s book […]

Still on a bit of a data ethics and privacy train at the moment. I went to see the exhibition last week ‘AI – who’s looking after me‘ and it was really interesting to see some alternative explorations of uses of AI and creative exploration of it. It helped me understand what a final project […]

This post isn’t going to sound like it, but I’ve taken some downtime over the last few weeks. I’ve used the time to read and have some interesting conversations.

It’s been a busy few weeks out in the big old real world for me. I sadly missed the last part-timers catch up call, though will prioritise being on it tomorrow as I missed hearing from everyone. In the meantime I’ve been busy helping host the first ever Ethical Commerce Alliance conference at the Royal […]

Feels a bit surreal to have completed the taught components for the first year already, but here we are. I was feeling a bit lost for how to continue over the summer, but luckily I have lovely classmates and we have teamed up to have regular check-ins. Task one – recap what I’ve learnt so […]

I feel like I have just been treading water the last few weeks. It’s a combination of work, home and study pressures but today has been the first day I feel like I can touch the ground (not to labour the metaphor). It’s still going to be busy for the next few weeks but I […]

How are we in week 5 already? Been really enjoying this term and this course if anything is certainly broadening my horizons – though I wish I had an extra week in between each week to read everything! I’ve been bringing up what I’m reading and learning in my team meetings at work and also […]
