This is what I've been up to for the last couple of days. Really brilliant to spend a couple of days listening to and learning from people about what they want data and AI to do/be used for. A couple of quick reflections
LCR Civic Data Cooperative@civicdatacoop.bsky.social · 2y agoWelcome to Day 2 of the LCR Residents' Assembly on Data & AI Innovation! Today we're diving into the complexities of AI trade-offs, led by the brilliant @rachelcoldicutt.bsky.social from @carefultrouble.bsky.social 🤖⚖️ Looking forward to more insightful discussions about AI use in our region today!
Yesterday, with @livunichil.bsky.social colleagues, I shared knowledge of using quasi-experiments to answer difficult questions in real-world with 50+ nhs+loc gov analysts. Huge privilege for me and example of mobilising data+skills to build learning health systems, cutting time to innovation

A big thank you to all the residents who attended the LCR Residents' Assembly on Data & AI Innovation today as we look to answer our question “What does trustworthy and beneficial data and AI innovation look like for the Liverpool City Region?” More info: civicdatacooperative.com/residents-as...
Inspired by Liverpool City Region residents at today's Assembly. Mobilising data into action well becomes real in health systems where organisations are accountable to one another and to the residents they serve - a national grid of civic data & AI is overdue - see: www.thenhsa.co.uk/app/uploads/...

I am mad about data, and work with lots of teams sharing the madness. A bunch of us Northerners, inspired by @profbuchan.bsky.social, wrote of working together as big team of Unis, NHS, local gov, charities and citizens to use data+combined skills to innovate. 👉 www.thenhsa.co.uk/app/uploads/...
