The research I began at end of my PhD is finally published! The team in Cambridge + collaborators have demonstrated a robust, all-organic spin-optical interface for use in #quantum technologies: https://rdcu.be/djJl4

Employing fully organic molecules in quantum applications has several advantages, including resilience to decoherence + endless design opportunities. It’s incredible to observe optical emission from these systems alongside spin polarisation of the high spin states at room temp.

I’ve seen some tech commentators (notably, not academics) demonstrate how they’re supposedly using ChatGPT to support critical thinking or to understand topics from varying viewpoints…

Accuracy aside, consuming summations of concepts without knowing the underlying sources seems like a recipe for disaster — how can one meaningfully and critically evaluate the ideas without this information?

Yesterday, the UK chancellor relieved regulators and digital markets of uncertainty by announcing that the Digital Markets Unit will soon be given the powers it needs to crack down on monopolistic practices by #BigTech firms and bolster innovation in the UK tech sector 🎉

Amazing start to the #ODISummit2022 - Prof Genevieve Bell describes the importance of how researchers apply anthropological and #cybernetic lenses to interrogate design and consequences of #data systems, including #IoT and #AI

She urges us to ask of data systems: how does the data travel? where does the data travel? who is the data travelling to and from, and who is the data travelling for? And to approach problems with systems-level thinking: design, development, regulation, decommissioning

This week a US Senator asked the Federal Trade Commission to review whether property tech company RealPage is violating #antitrust laws. RealPage’s pricing #software suggests new rents daily to landlords…

https://www.competitionpolicyinternational.com/senator-wants-antitrust-probe-of-apartment-price-setting-software/

The call for a review comes after an investigation last month by #ProRepublica in which critics said the RealPage #algorithm may be artificially inflating rents and stifling competition.

#introduction I’m Bluebell and I’m new here!

I recently finished my PhD in optoelectronics but am now working on tech regulation (specifically ‘Big Tech’) — I guess I’ve gone from spinning out new tech to getting control of existing tech

I’m based in London and also interested in green tech/policy and UK politics… 👋
