We Need To Talk About AI

“it must be clarified whether the society stands for or against actions of theft and infringement by AI companies, as neutrality by a group such as ours that allows its use is an effective endorsement of the pro-AI side”

AOB/ORB We still need a Graphic Design Officer - Alysha will pop it in the Newsletter Do we need to find a New Lap? Or possibly Two New Laps? - Mina potentially taking over CCGs and tech- Adam maybe. Term 1 by-election Lap to start advertising- probably gap between the term Ben made friends with people.
