The most pessimistic countries are almost all from Europe. Not so India Indonesia UAE Payal Arora Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy

'Pessimism is a privilege for those who can afford to live in despair' - stunning lecture from Payal Arora Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy on how The Global South is not on the same page as The Global North on how we value and measure happiness, freedom, opportunity - and technology.

Brava Gina Neff and colleagues Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy for assembling stellar group of people to discuss and debate together. Everything from Deep Fakes to Deliberative Democracy to gulf between Global North and Global South priorities when it comes to AI and people.

Few have talent experience deep expertise and a natural flair for broadcasting like Mark Urban does. What a loss for the BBC

Can I just say...I've been snoozing all afternoon and even a very lovely little boy shouting 'Granny' has barely roused me... #only59

I think this is important.

Women don't like Donald restricting their right to choose. Very interesting The Wall Street Journal poll and report.

You can tell some kind of tide is turning in America around the always-in and always-on culture because a network has just asked me to comment on whether Americans should have more vacation (that's holidays to you and me). #workingassumptions
