Noticings 14: Dos and don'ts of GenAI
April at Careful Industries
Over the past month, we’ve reflected on what we’ve learnt about individuals assessing their response to GenAI. Whilst we’ve shared our thoughts in a blog post. It’s also a topic that has come up in our upcoming training sessions.
Responsible-ish GenAI dos and don’ts: text edition
Over the last year, Careful Industries has worked closely with people getting to grips with whether they should, or shouldn’t, use Generative AI in the workplace. In our latest blog post, we share seven things to bear in mind and three “responsible-ish” strategies for using Generative AI to generate text.
“There is no hard and fast rule here; while organisational, institutional, and governmental decisions about AI bring with them moral and ethical consequences, at an individual level making decisions about thriving, inclusion, and access come with a different set of considerations.”
Join our AI Impacts 101 Workshops
We have two more AI 101 Impact workshops coming up! During these 90 minute training sessions, we’ll move beyond the hype to share some of AI's environmental and social impacts.
We’ve found that these sessions have not only helped build up people’s knowledge of AI systems, but also begun to connect people across sectors who are facing similar struggles.
Machine Ethics Podcast
This month, Rachel Coldicutt was in conversation with Ben Byford on the Machine Ethics Podcast.
Together they discussed AI taxonomy, innovating for everyone not just the few and, the right to repair.

Science, Innovation and Technology Committee
This month, Rachel gave evidence to the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee about the inquiry into the Digital Centre of Government. She was joined by Richard Pope, Laura Gilbert and Joe Hill
Rachel wrote a Bluesky thread about the session here and you can watch the full committee here.
