Aye, hope it does!

(and please donotuse DoNotPay as a working example of this stuff.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoNotPa...)

Useful policy-level paper but I think it has a gap in thinking about how other service providers - including public service providers - could, and are!, shape agent/assistant behaviour and experiences

Hunh, so that's partly why my 30-something niece and her friends have ended up doing cruises together

I _think_ it started because driving instructors/companies wanted to offer a full package where they both teach people to drive and arrange their test for them, I can see that making things a bit easier for some learners. AIUI a whole set of intermediaries then tried to insert themselves in that

aye, there are minimum age laws but whether there is evidence of issues that justify putting govt-verified ID checks into the mix is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

a risk here is that the more govt politicians focus on the "digital" bits of this public service, the less likely they are to deliver the actual universal public service that they need to deliver _if_ govt-verified ID/attribute checks become more widespread and in some cases - like RTW - mandatory

I roughly think that too

Someone that I wouldn't hear from if it was the same event in London/Paris/Washington/&c, and probably someone from a community that has tackled/participated in public sector use of data/AI (so it might be bit of q&a rather than a keynote)

eg teachers in Manchester in recent DfE work? A subpostie?
