Was really great to be at the Fawcett Conference to talk feminist AI today. Spoke to so many people afterwards and it reminded me what a tiny world tech policy is - a small group of people bumping into one another in different rooms to talk about the same things.

Demanding dignity and safety in public services panel starts!
