'We don't tell the car what it should do': my ride in a self-driving taxi Driverless'robotaxis' will be accepting fares in Britain's biggest city by the end of next year. Can they deal with London's medieval roads, hordes of pedestrians and errant ebikers? 'I'm really excited to show you this," says Alex Kendall, the CEO of Wayve, as he gets behind the wheel of one of the company's electric Ford Mustangs. The car pulls up to a junction at a busy road in King's Cross, London, all by itself. "You can see that it's going to control the speed, steering, brake, indicators," he says to me - I'm in the passenger seat. "It's making decisions as it goes.

In July, 2023, Science Gallery London and the London Office of Technology and Innovation co-hosted a workshop helping Londoners think about the kind of AI they want. In this post, Dr. Peter Rees reflects on the event, describes its methodology, and celebrates some of the new images that resulted from the day. Who can create better images of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? There are common misleading tropes of the images which dominate our culture such as white humanoid robots, glowing blue brains, and various iterations of the extinction of humanity. Better Images of AI is on a mission to increase AI literacy and inclusion by countering unhelpful images.

ChatGPT has revealed some scathing stereotypes of UK residents in a merciless study of what clichés exist in every county. The cutting-edge bot labeled Yorkshiremen as'rude' while Londoners were slammed for their arrogance in the nationwide analysis. The truly insulting results came after MailOnline asked ChatGPT to expose what'negative stereotypes' exist of people from our nation. While the bot insisted that it did not condone stereotypes, it offered a list of those associated with each place when prompted. On the whole, residents of the UK were deemed to have bad teeth while being overly polite and obsessed with the Royal Family.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has announced £500,000 in funding to support the capital's data economy, coincident with the first day of London Tech Week. The money will go into Data for London, a platform which will, according to a statement from the Mayor's office, be a "central library for the vast amount of data held across the capital, enabling Londoners to access both public and private data more easily". The new "library" is a development of the Greater London Authority's London Datastore, set up in 2010, which contains 6,000 datasets. It houses a Coronavirus Hub, which was accessed more than five million times in nine months during the pandemic. It also contains a Planning Datahub, which holds data on more than 450,000 planning proposals, as well as an Infrastructure Mapping Application, which is used by utility companies to try to reduce the congestion and disruption caused by roadworks.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - 2019/12/10: A London ambulance parked outside the East London hospital. In London, the National Health Service's 111 helpline receives up to 41,000 urgent calls every week. With this number constantly growing, health and clinical advisors must provide advice to patients with potentially serious medical conditions accurately and quickly. However, NHS 111 London has previously struggled to deliver a consistent patient experience and meet healthcare outcomes because it lacked a way to track and prioritize patients with developing or known medical conditions. Martin Taylor, deputy CEO and cofounder of cloud contact center platform Content Guru, says: "Patients were routed to any available call handler, and this varied each time they called NHS 111 (regardless of the time between calls), leading to patients having to repeat their details, symptoms, and developments. "Further to this, the NHS were unable to track repeat callers and therefore could not monitor changes in symptoms effectively.

London could lose all of its Ubers, courtesy of the city's transportation agency. On Friday, Transport for London announced it would not renew the ridehailing giant's license to operate in the city, citing the company's "lack of corporate responsibility." The license expires September 30, though, unsurprisingly, Uber has declared it will exercise its right to an appeal. The company is able to continue operating in the city as long as the legal process drags on, but it didn't wait for its lawyers to prepare their case before dusting off the weapon that has carried it through many a battle: public fervor. Right after TfL dropped its news, Uber posted a petition on Change.org.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Data Analytics launches today in Parliament. The group aims to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by'big data', a term which refers to the growth of large, complex data that can be analysed to provide valuable new insights. It's a complicated and controversial area, one that is only going to become more significant as time goes on for those making and influencing policy. Coming from an IT background, I've witnessed a drastic shift in technology over the decades and the speed of that shift is increasing. It can perhaps be best encapsulated by a simple fact: around 90 per cent of global data was created in just the last two years - and that amount is predicted to grow year on year for the next decade.
