British Council UK delegation

I’m thrilled to join British Council's UK delegation to Istanbul this week for Marmara Urban Forum (MARUF), in partnership with BEYOND Conference.

I hope to champion why the arts and culture sector must be at the centre of all discussions around responsible AI development, and why creating an inclusive, dignified and welcoming society (for the widest possible diversity of human brains, bodies, backgrounds, gender and talent) is fundamental for innovation in the UK and across the world.

Proud be joining my fellow delegates Chiara Mignani, Lucrezia Gigante (AFHEA), Gillian Easson, Dr Georgia Haseldine and Guy Gadney FRSA. Special thanks to Rachel Coldicutt, Tara Solesbury, Josie Durant, Sam Michel and Denise Waddingham.

(I've also heard Istanbul has lots of cats, so there's that too. 🐈🏃‍♀️)
