Plans like this need to evolve with the sector they are meant to develop. The very Capability we propose has an internal mechanism for continuous sector monitoring. With new investments and technology, plans need to adjust. Engage in the conversation: what could work and how can it improve?

The Roadmap sets a vision for a core research and strategy team setting up a series of partnerships, avoiding duplication of existing efforts and connecting the community across many challenges and opportunities to strengthen the whole landscape.

A&H works with some of the most complex and large datasets (semantic text, image and numerical data together) and asks complex questions that require multidisciplinary approaches. The computational methods used are similar across domains - so why work in isolation?

Great digest here from @davidbeavan.bsky.social about our recently launched Roadmap for an A&H RSE Capability. doi.org/10.5281/zeno.... Designed to be integrated into the whole digital research ecosystem, it focuses on A&H and benefits research collaborations with RSEs in all domains.

Launching a Roadmap that sets a vision for a national RSE Capability skilled in Arts and Humanities, benefiting the whole ecosystem of digital research. Amazing to collaborate with a community that thinks via interconnected systems and works hard to dissolve the silos that hold research back.

Will Adamsdale: AI, AI, Oh… (or how I wrote a hit sitcom with ChatGPT but we’re not talking now) | Barbican Perrier Comedy and Fringe First winner Will Adamsdale presents a new autobiographical show about escape, creativity and technology.

Fancy AI and creativity chat fuelled* by the great comedy of Will Adamsdale? Come to the Barbican this Friday for FuelFest, the celebrating 20 years of Fuel Theatre Company. After the show I'll be chatting to Will about why tech failure and what makes us human. www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/202...

Anyone at UKRI listening? This is excellent. And one of my constant refrains is that AI *NEEDS* the humanities.
