This week I quit my #PublicSector role

It's been a very long time coming

It was the gibberish and #hype around #AI that finally did for me

On top of the myopic pursuit of #growth and worrying about #CompetitiveAdvantage (in a world on the edge of collapse)

And the lack of recognition, ever, that their entire #GeoAI programme came out of my work - the #research that I initiated and the team that I trained

And that that work, and the amazing, but tiny, teams now working on it, remain under-resourced and locked into a predatory platform provider

And the financial disadvantage of being in a role that is intended to work to longer than annual horizons in an organisation that cannot retain even a Teams message for longer than 6 months

I do see recent potential that all that could change but I no longer have the stamina to see those changes through

My last act, with two of my gorgeous colleagues, was to draft a #ResponsibleAI charter - it needs a lot of work but there was a glimmer of hope in the way it was received

My heart and spirit are broken, but I feel flutters of excitement about what lies ahead
