Hi Ian

Sorry when I wrote I was on the other side of the world.

Two likely hypotheses - VPN or overnight maintenance

The latter was (EDIT appears to have been) the correct hypothesis - apologies for not updating people

Now I have some reading to do - I may have to cheat and use AI to extract a summary of all salient points and themes

I can predict that I likely have the same concerns I have about rampant uncontrolled and inexpert use of data science

regards Duncan

A Senate Select Committee on Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been established.  The SSA’s Advocacy Working Group (AWG) considered making a submission, and decided not to do so.  But a couple of later developments led to a change to that decision.  I drafted a submission, and the members of the AWG provided feedback which was most useful in identifying further things to say, and polishing the draft.  This is one way that we hope the AWG will function, and as our first foray into public comment (through the AWG) it was a most encouraging sign of how we hope to able to achieve a high standard in the SSA’s public commentary.  The submission is number 87 here: Submissions – Parliament of Australia (aph.gov.au).

Wheres the LIKE button?  ;)

Thanks, Ian and AWG. It was good, concise and hopefully will make a difference, even if small. It was certainly better than some of the other submissions!
