It's a video about starting again. Rebuilding a network here after Elon Musk took it from all of us on X to serve his ego.

We have a new episode of our podcast License to Act. To use adaptive AI on regulated production lines, you must satisfy the inspector. Every model update has to be explained; if the AI adds no confidence, it gets rejected. #AI #Pharma www.buzzsprout.com/2647557/epis...

This man did a great piece of acting when he took the CEO job at Microsoft, saying that he would care about people; his true self just came out. A big reason for Europe to put more focus on digital sovereignty. Ethical behavior should play a big role in terms of who you buy from.

Industrial AI rarely fails on algorithms; it fails when plant operators are sidelined. On License to Act, Felix Müller explains why human-in-the-loop AI must be temporary before the model runs autonomously. Reach out to Felix to see his live AI demo in Irvine. buff.ly/kT5sf4j

Everyone agrees accessibility matters. So why does so little change? Canada’s Chief Accessibility Officer tracks six thousand organisations. Her biggest finding is that people agree accessibility matters and then leave disability out of the decision....

On my podcast. Loneliness hits neurodivergent people hard and mainstream apps often miss the mark. Holly Fowler built Wable to connect dates, friends, and jobs with safety and support baked in. Would you try a platform built for unmasking? buff.ly/sY4ZFpO #TechNews

A clip from one my podcasts. Most apps hide what they know about you. Lumin shows you the list, lets you change it, and gives you control over your data. What should an app remember about you? #Privacy #DataOwnership #ProductDesign #Disability
