Revealed: Big tech’s new datacentres will take water from the world’s driest areas Amazon, Google and Microsoft are building datacentres in water-scarce parts of five continents

Surely we have to start asking ourselves some serious questions about what's most important here? Big data analytics or life on earth?

Interestingly, the LI algorithm didn't want me to mention Sandberg's book Lean In by name - wonder why??

If you're at all concerned by geopolitics and escalating tensions in Europe, you must listen to this podcast. Russia has been dismantling the West and democracy for decades - we need to wake up and react. Thanks @carolecadwalla.bsky.social & @peterjukes.bsky.social

YouTube video by NEON 2073 - Official Trailer

Glad to have attended a screening of #2073 last night. This film by @asifkapadia.bsky.social is essential viewing if you have any interest in preserving democracy. What's happening in the US is easily coming for Europe, unless we wake up and act now. #leastworstoption

I don't believe any parent finds it easier to have their child at home while they WFH. A primary reason absences are so high is because schools aren't able to deal with rising neurodivergence & mental health issues. They're forced to prioritise outdated Ofsted targets instead

If you work in #internalcommunication or corporate communication, you will be interested in the new AI ethics Charter produced by the UK-based IoIC @ioicnews.bsky.social. We are committed to exploring ethical implications arising from AI adoption in the #futureofwork

AI Governance: The CEO’s Ethical Imperative In 2025 As AI continues to reshape industries, CEOs must focus on AI governance to ensure ethical, transparent, and responsible use of AI.

Taking a responsible stance on #AI requires us to understand the broad range of ethical and governance issues. Here's an interesting article to get started: www.forbes.com/sites/commit...

Yep. I remember reading Affluenza by Oliver James and being struck by how wealth often breeds loneliness, anxiety and more. Paranoia will totally be in the mix

Agree. I think it's potent to remember what's behind all of this: greed, status, feelings of personal inadequacy and the rampant desire for control

If you have any interest in #AI and/or the future of democracy, you need to read this latest article by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social. I spent 20 years working in tech and survived several of its hype-cycles. This one is on steroids and, if allowed to continue, has dark consequences for us all.

Too obvious?

🚨 🚨 Geek Squad alert!!! 🚨 🚨

If you enjoy finding out more about how things work, I highly recommend 𝙄, 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 by Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. It puts a very different angle on all the #AI spin and for any business recognising the urgent need for innovation, it's an essential read. #futureofwork

100%!

I read the first line and couldn't understand why you would possibly want to post an image of that chump. But when I read Brexit, I immediately understood 🤣

I wouldn't be at all surprised. Nature endlessly teaches us how little we know...

The new series of the *Future of Internal Communication* #podcast kicks off next week with a conversation about the role of business in a healthy, well-functioning society. Tune in to explore the role of #internalcommunication in the #futureofwork: futureofinternalcommunication.podbean.com

I haven't but I do have a documented bucket list of all the places I plan to visit using 'slo-mo' travel

Cathryn Barnard 🌔 on LinkedIn: #criticalthinking #vitalskills #futureofwork #empathy #values #ethics I've had so many conversations about that dreadful Zuckerberg statement this week. I agree it's so wrong to row back on checking facts on social media in the…

Some thoughts from me about that odious post from Zuckerberg this week: www.linkedin.com/posts/cathry...

And in parallel, we urgently need to be thinking about where the human oversight will come from that stops the convergence of all these technologies descending into a hot, chaotic mess

What if I'd spent a little more time exploring all the cities I visited when building European mobile phone networks in the 1990s?

Started watching the Netflix documentary. Felt queasy. Switched off after 15 mins.

Some books I'll be holding close as I help clients navigate 2025. #continuouslearning #futureofwork

I ❤️this, not least after just reading that Musk is again interfering in British politics, using X to call for the release from prison Tommy Robinson - the UK's most far-right social agitator. Presumably these people believe wealth renders them impunible?

The Growing Trend of Part-Time Executives A conversation with experts Tomoko Yokoi and Amy Bonsall on when “fractional leadership” pays off.

In anticipation of a new project kicking off in 2025, this is a fascinating listen. #fractionalleadership #futureofwork

It's (in my view) an intelligent synopsis of where we are now, and where best to put our energies if we wish to be of service
