Google launches new 'AI mode' search feature in UK The new tool marks a significant change for the search giant but raises questions for advertisers.

Another knock to traditional search. Google's AI search arriving soon in UK.

Google admits it failed to warn 10 million of Turkey earthquake The tech giant said only 469 serious warnings were sent out ahead of the 7.8 magnitude quake.

A poignant reminder that tech will tell you it can save the world… until “limitations in detection algorithms” means it can’t

Troubling times to be sure, but I've been bolstered by the fact that it's cherry blossom time in London this week🌸🤗

Screen showing dialogue with AI Chat Bot / Coach at the end of an prompting exercise

Working my way through a Google #ai course. It nicely incorporates a chatbot (or coach) as you work through the modules' exercises - enabling personalised and real-time feedback on my long form responses.
I'm flattered it rates my replies as "Advanced" (hope it's not hallucinating 🤓) #aisky #legalai

Ps. It's a virtual course

From my alma mater, a free, multi-week prep course👇🏻

Open to Canadians / permanent residents (no connection to the U of A necessary).

Please share with your networks. #lawsky #lsat #futurelawyers

With the equinox today, its official: Spring Has Sprung🌷 !

We've survived another one😬 🥶 🤧 (Rejoice🥳 !)

Hope the new season brings you some fresh ideas and renewed energy🌞 !

For those in London, there's another @aifortherestofus.live event in Shoreditch this week👇🏻

I highly recommend checking out this meetup series. They cover the (broad) AI landscape really well. No fluff. No hype. Just facts (and actionable insights).

See you there🤓 #aiandthelaw #legalai #lawsky

Friday #PiDay !

Happy Pi Day🥧 to all who celebrate 🙃

I also chose to wear an N95 when out for my lunchtime walk 😷.
Really grateful for the modern tools that help me make data-driven decisions and stay healthy! #themoreyouknow

I checked the Weather Network app and sure enough! There's really poor #airquality in London today. (Apparently to do with micro dust?) The Weather Network says pm2.5 levels are 3X above the "unhealthy limit". Armed with this knowledge I turned on a second #airpurifier in my tiny flat /2

Photo of an air quality monitor showing a concerning pm2.5 reading

Absolutely love my #qingping air quality monitor. Along with CO2 it also measures pm10, pm2.5, temperature and humidity.
Today it alerted me to the fact that there was something in the air. (The pm2.5 reading this morning was 30 inside !😬 It's usually under 10). #cleanairnow /1

Reminds me of the time another small business owner (a PhD, I believe?) told me that "if you have real expertise you do not need to test".

Err🤔 No... I don't believe that's how it works.

...they approach the #AI topic (i.e. stepping off the hype-train to consider the big picture & the likely problems).

Last night we heard from the excellent Jovita Tam and @charleshumble.bsky.social on AI governance and #AIsustainability respectively. /2

Presenter speaking at AI For The Rest of Us meetup in London

"Everyone wants to talk AI, but no one wants to talk about governance, risk mitigation or responsible use."
@aifortherestofus.live talks about it! Last night I attended another of their events & -as I've said before- I really appreciate how thoughtfully & comprehensively /1

So pleased with this weekend find from the local charity shop🤗

Will I fill every tier with plants? 🪴🌿🌱

You better believe it!
#crazyplantlady #repurpose

If ur near London, I'd encourage you to join... They'll be talking #AI governance & sustainability - & there are a few spots left🤓 #legaltech #legalai #lawsky

Lawyers on Bluesky: A Guide to the Rising Social Media Platform Attracting Legal Professionals Lindsay Hanoski | Bluesky-curious? The new social network is gaining traction, and now could be the optimal time for attorneys to join the platform.

Great article for #lawyers by @lindsay-hanoski.bsky.social via @attorneyatwork.bsky.social on gaining traction on @bsky.app!

Thank you @mitch.social for the kind words (and for the final push onto this platform 🙏🏻!)

Well I don't claim to be any type of expert, I have lived in 3 different countries (and worn a fair few professional hats in my time). And one thing I would absolutely recommend to any expat lawyer (or any person looking to make a big change) is to find a supportive community. /2

🙏🏻 Thx Nancy for the kind words

Lovely to be here! (I rarely leave😅)

As bio indicates, I am a proud #crazyplantlady. So imagine my delight when I returned to London last week to find my bromeliad flowering🌹! In winter!

Propogated the "pup" ~ 3ys ago and have been patiently waiting for this moment...🤗

My point here is that education & professional experience (of any types) are rarely "for nothing". And that, those who want to, can almost certainly find opportunities to put their "old lives" to good use. /end

🤔 - What are the main risks for a digital service provider leveraging #AI? (And how should these be addressed? In IP clauses? Liability clauses? Privacy clauses? With limited warranties?)

(Interesting pickles🥒, these Qs...) /7

As demonstrated in my recent drafting projects:

1. 🤔 - What does consumer protection legislation say about contracting with individuals? (What if the contract is entered into online? At a distance? What if you're selling " #digitalcontent "?) /6 #lawsky
