Whilst waiting for the #CogX2021 sessions to start streaming, why not quickly check out the open preview of my forthcoming new book, which places the future of AI as central to the future of humanity. "Vital Foresight" dw2blog.com/2021/05/26/a-p…
CEO of @RollsRoyce, Warren East, looks forward to the company "smashing" the air speed record for an electrically powered craft. As part of exploring possibilities for greener air travel #CogX2021

Usual challenge of language is being identified but not really pointing at the different goals of various actors, how context affects those goals, & the power dynamics in play.
