Thanks for sharing! Love the prompts. Georgina, I think you’re right about monitoring & testing, and I’d expand that beyond just biases. I’d love to see more people thinking about how they can proactively judge AI’s performance across different these different factors

Not a replacement, but it went alongside the audio announcement.

As for why not text… BSL is an entire different language to English, so text & sign aren’t equivalent. It’s like having English text available to me in France to save me struggling to interpret the French.

Ministers reconsider changes to UK copyright law ahead of vote Exclusive: Proposals to introduce opt-out system of copyright rules no longer preferred option amid criticism from creative industries
