A good book with a more than decent pint in Neary's... a not-too-shabby bank holiday Sunday evening.

We have to discuss environmental implications of AI! Not spoken about enough unfortunately. We have a duty to inform ourselves and our students of these ethical issues and model good practice. Do we have to use AI for every post, lesson, image generation? #edchatie oecd.ai/en/wonk/how-...

How much water does AI consume? The public deserves to know

Air pollution and carbon emissions are well-known environmental costs of AI. But water consumption is also an issue.
