Thanks Celyn Bricker from Policy Lab UK for this lovely blog summarising the work you did with us a year ago. https://lnkd.in/eSPTzZiT The way you generated those images in real time during the workshop based on some snippets of information and how we then used them to help illustrate the pitches was truly inspiring and a real demonstration of a good use of generative AI! Looking forward to the findings of the project going to press in the coming days: watch that underground space!

Hosting Chelsea Mauldin - Founder and Ex Director of Public Policy Lab - last week, helped us reflect on evaluation models, designing future policy systems, power relations and much more. Thanks to Chelsea for the time spent with us!

We used generative AI to visualise science & policy ideas for the future of the subsurface. Read about our experimental work, developed by Celyn Bricker Stephen Bennett and Alex Mathers with the Foresight team of Government Chief Scientific Adviser Dame Angela McLean.
