Strengthening the spiral of technoprogressive trust

Which aspects of the technoprogressive programme are the most distinctive and urgent? Which new legislative policies most deserve to be championed? What strategy should we follow, to increase the chance of strengthening a growing community of trust, that in turn causes significant real-world change? How should the programme be branded? Which bridges with potential allies should be prioritised? Which blindspots may we be overlooking? And what are the landmines that could derail the positive progress we anticipate? ​These are examples of questions likely to be discussed in this gathering of the extended London Futurists community in *[Ye Olde Cock Tavern](https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/ye-olde-cock-tavern)* in Fleet Street, from 6pm onward on Thursday 22nd October. This meeting is a follow-up to the two-day event that was held on 19-20 September, *[The Technoprogressive Opportunity](https://luma.com/bk22gy6s)*, but people who couldn't attend that will be welcome - as will newcomers. == ​Provocateurs and catalysts == The following have kindly agreed to present some ideas to frame sections of this meeting: **Nick Walker**, a medical doctor with a PhD in AI, who is Chief Science Officer of the AI-driven invention company Iprova: * Nick will share a short viewpoint on why AI won't kill us all, why AI won't steal our jobs and why current AI is not conscious and why that is a good thing. He'll also provide an assessment of what has been called "the new Luddites". **Hardeep Kaur**, Creative Director of Per Se Studio, a strategic storytelling studio, and Founding Steward of Age of the Steward, a knowledge commons platform for a wiser, care oriented, planetary culture: * What if long-term care and responsibility were the starting point for how we build, govern and decide? What changes in our institutions, technologies and policies when stewardship becomes the way we orient our work? **Isabel Serval**, Founder at Traversing Futures, and lead at Signal Club - a long-term governance and futures thinking community: * *Nobody's having kids. So what?* Emerging awareness of birth rate decline and subsequent long-term population decline tends to be followed by panic, and treated like a bad thing by default. But only a few years ago the world was panicking about overpopulation. Let's challenge assumptions and judgements when looking at a fictional scenario for the demographic future of London. == Schedule == ​5:30pm: The room is available for early get-togethers 6pm-6:15pm: A chance for everyone to order drinks and socialise 6:15pm: Pre-ordered food will be served *(don't be late for this!)* 6:20pm (approx): In parallel, we'll encourage everyone to introduce themselves to the group, and to briefly share what's on their mind relevant to the themes of the event 6:40pm (approx): A mix of formal and informal conversations, including breaks to visit the bar 8:30pm: Optional informal networking continues == ​This meeting is free to attend, but... == ​There's no charge to register or attend, but the pub will expect everyone to order at least one drink, and at least some of us to [order some food to eat](https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/ye-olde-cock-tavern/menu?type=main+menu). == ​No remote access, sorry == ​Note that this is an in-person meeting, and there will be no remote access, sorry == ​If you change your mind about attending == ​If you register to attend but later change your mind, for whatever reason, please update your status to "Not coming", to assist the organisers in planning the event. == Another way to register == As an experiment, registration for this event is available both here on Meetup and on [this Luma page](https://luma.com/gqp6i6q8). (This will provide an opportunity to compare the two platforms.)

AI-built reports to question & comment on with Zebra BI on Fabric & Power BI

We're excited to be back on Thursday 22nd October with a recap of the latest Fabric announcements from the Fabric Community Conference (Fabcon) and a session with Dhaval Sadaiya from Zebra BI: **AI-built reports you can question and comment on, with Zebra BI on Fabric and Power BI** * We'll show live how Zebra AI turns your data into a written story, publishes it as a Fabric app and packages it with the source Power BI report in one org app, with each figure showing how it was calculated while letting business users chat with their data. For Power BI teams, an AI agent then builds a report with Zebra BI visuals directly in PBIP. We finish with commentary write-back in Zebra BI Tables+ and Charts+: business users write the reason for a variance directly in the report, where the next reader (or AI) could see it. **Agenda** 18:30 - Welcome, drinks, pizza & networking 18:45 - Recap on the announcements from the Fabcon Europe conference 19:00 - Main Session 20:00 - Close **Venue** Tenth Revolution offices in London. Aldgate House, 33 Aldgate High St, London EC3N 1DL Please provide your first and last name when registering for the event, as this is provided to building security to allow you entrance into the venue.

WHITTLE A SPOON

**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/whittle-a-spoon-10/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/whittle-a-spoon-10/) **⋆⋆⋆** Like spoons? You’ll love this. If the idea of carving a spoon appeals to you, but setting out into a muddy wood and starting your learning by wielding an axe seems somewhat daunting, join us for a one-day course that will bypass all that and yet give you the immense satisfaction of watching a fully-fledged spoon emerge from your handiwork. Each spoon will be carved using seasoned wood and we will use Lime – a light, silky smooth and close-grained wood- used by great master carvers in St Paul Cathedral and stately homes. In one day, you will learn how to create a spoon from Lime wood- a traditional seasoned hardwood that holds detail and is a pleasure to carve with a cutout decoration detail in the handle. This can be a straight handle or a heart, but if you have an idea for a simple design, we can try and make this possible too. Your spoon will be a gift to keep for yourself or give to your loved one. This course is taught by Jon Hall, a talented professional City and Guild trained carver who teaches our one-day ‘Intro to Woodcarving’. We supply all the tools and materials and can advise you on which simple tools to buy to carry on this fascinating hobby. Love Spoons. In folk museums and heritage craft collections throughout Europe and the UK, you can sometimes see versions of these charming ‘Lovespoons’- some with one or two hearts carved out of their handles. The traditional lovespoon was made by a man who gave it to his beloved in order to show his skills and commitment. Her father would also have been able to see the man’s craftsmanship. Some of them are full of complex symbolism. A lock denoting security, a cross for faith, horseshoes for luck, bells for marriage and some including interlinked chains. As a ‘pastime’, many hours were spent on them and sailors passed their free time embellishing them with mermaids and anchors. One-day course 10.00 – 5.00pm.

Imperial College Late: Robots!

Sounds absolutely fascinating, a late evening about robotics at Imperial College: "At Imperial Lates: Robots, you can get hands-on with all things robots, tech and AI at this free evening event for adults. Where will robotics go in the next ten years, and what does intelligence mean in our ever changing world?" (description continued below). I am asking for £3.50 attendance fee to go towards Meetup organiser costs. Please pay me in exact change when you get to our meeting point. Thank you. We'll go for a drink afterwards. Continued: "How would you feel about a robot doing surgery on you? Put your skills to the test by controlling a robotic arm to play our version of the classic game, Operation. Then get crafty and design your own soft, squishy body-bot to take home, inspired by flexible fibre-bots that can navigate inside the human body. See if you or your friends are faster than a machine in a pipetting race, then watch robots play football where every pass, tackle and shot is decided in real time by AI. Check out the mini droid powered by plants, before you step behind-the-scenes in a tour of the labs and meet Imperial’s robotic sea turtle. Then head to the bar, grab a drink and soak in the music from the DJ. With hands‑on activities, fascinating talks, real robots and inspiring research at every turn, you can indulge your creativity and curiosity by learning all about the research driving the technologies of tomorrow. Whether you’re looking to discuss the future of robotics with the people on the cutting-edge, or wanting a sociable night with science, music and conversation, this Lates has it all."
