Excited to be here at ICTO2024 Paris looking at augmented intelligence for smarter societies - my keynote tomorrow will be on importance of engaging with all dimensions of human experience - not just the cognitive - if we want to build a AI-enabled world that's worth living in!

Really looking forward to keynoting TechUK's Local Public Services Innovation Summit 12 June. I only have 15 mins so no time to mess about: we need to talk about replatforming the sector. 'Tis time.
