This is a remarkable story about the power of research, and a source of hope for those struck down by a terrible disease. Whenever people cast doubt on the importance of universities and their research, they need to be told about work like this.

Gov't should be using AI tools to assist in a range of tasks. Key is transparency and ethics. A lot of good work is under way in several projects via @educationgovuk @Ed_Authority. The real opportunity challenge is mainstreaming AI literacy across the education system.
Education Minister Paul Givan labels claims he used artificial intelligence to write assembly speech as a "cheap shot".

Sean was an Alliance stalwart over decades. As Leader, he held Alliance together during difficult years post GFA, and laid foundations for future growth and success. He was deeply committed to Carrickfergus. He will be hugely missed.
Former Alliance Party leader Sean Neeson has died.

The CSR implies a tight fiscal position for NI over coming years, but the Executive has an opportunity to develop a 3 yr Budget and drive more strategic local public spending decisions. This will necessitate overarching public sector transformation.

Today is Lisa’s 46th birthday. Another stolen birthday. Today we will remember the beautiful, funny person Lisa was. We hope those who ended her life will also think of her today and realise they can end this living hell for us. Please speak up and tell us what you know. 💔

Great to see this important work on the funding of water in NI. There are growing costs of policy inaction in NI, economically, socially and environmentally. We must start to acknowledge these, or we will incur significant future detriment.
