Reflecting on the webinar on the DfEs AI guidance that @honeypisquared.bsky.social and I put, 1 thing in particular has stayed with me…
Look at the list of risks for AI below, can you think of anything else with these harms that the DfE would actively endorse for our kids?
So why endorse AI?

addendum: not in fact the final post, here is my favourite photo from across the 100 days
So this is the final post of #The100DayProject... all 100 photos in 1 collage!
It's been a lot of fun but also a huge challenge just to stick with it and find a shot every day.
I've learned a lot about how to use my camera, and I've started looking at Cambridge in a whole different way!
