George<p>I've been attending <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/RLUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RLUK</span></a> this week and unsurprisingly <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> in <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Research</span></a> is a hot topic.</p><p>Also this week, this fantastic manifesto on AI and scholarship was released. Written by two of my colleagues, Dr Ella McPherson and Prof Matei Candea, I think this is one of the more measured write ups of the challenges of AI, especially within the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/highereducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>highereducation</span></a> space.</p><p>I love their Five Principles especially:</p><p>1. Think about it, talk about it.</p><p>2. Our values come first.</p><p>3. Stay ethically vigilant.</p><p>4. Embracing change doesn't mean giving up on the skills we have.</p><p>5. Be mindful of disciplinary diversity.</p><p>I strongly encourage reading this as a whole: <a href="https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/ai-and-scholarship-manifesto" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cam.ac.uk/stories/ai-and-schol</span><span class="invisible">arship-manifesto</span></a></p>
