# Liam Wilkinson

> Personal blog of Liam Wilkinson, Principal AI Engineer at the UK government's Incubator for AI (i.AI). Writing about AI, government technology, cloud architecture, knowledge graphs, law, philosophy, and geopolitics.

## Blog Posts

- [For the Love of Law](https://lwilko.com/blog/for-the-love-of-law): The law is the source code of the state, and it's overdue a refactor.
- [I Gave an AI a Civilization to Run. It Built a Nuke.](https://lwilko.com/blog/i-gave-an-ai-a-civilization): Either AI is ready to help run a country, or it can't be trusted with a board game. The honest answer is both.
- [You Can't Shame a Fork](https://lwilko.com/blog/you-cant-shame-a-fork): Accountability has always assumed a persistent identity. What happens when AI ends that?
- [When the Agents Found God](https://lwilko.com/blog/when-the-agents-found-god): This is either the most important thing happening in AI right now, or the most elaborate shitpost in history.
- [Hello, World](https://lwilko.com/blog/hello-world): An introduction to this blog, who I am, and what I'll be writing about.

## Knowledge Library

A catalogue of the sources behind the essays: 153 records covering the works they cite, the people and organisations involved, the projects they use and the measurements they report. Each record states how it was produced and whether a human has checked it. These are records about that material, not the material itself.

- [Concepts](https://lwilko.com/library/concepts) (18): Defined terms, with SKOS relations between them.
- [Cases](https://lwilko.com/library/cases) (10): Governance projects, recorded against a common set of fields.
- [Works](https://lwilko.com/library/works) (41): Books, papers, reports and other cited sources.
- [People](https://lwilko.com/library/people) (22): Authors and historical actors, reconciled to Wikidata.
- [Organisations](https://lwilko.com/library/organisations) (15): Institutions, publishers and companies.
- [Projects](https://lwilko.com/library/projects) (11): Software, benchmarks and systems, built rather than read.
- [Images](https://lwilko.com/library/images) (24): Pictures used in the writing, with their creators and reuse terms.
- [Essays](https://lwilko.com/library/essays) (5): One record per published post, linking it to what it cites.
- [Findings](https://lwilko.com/library/findings) (7): Measurements produced by the projects, with their method and sample.

## Machine-readable

The library is published in the Open Knowledge Format: markdown files with YAML frontmatter, one file per record, links between records forming the graph.

- [Bundle](https://lwilko.com/okf/bundle.tar.gz): the whole collection as a tarball, with the schemas that describe it
- [Graph](https://lwilko.com/okf/graph.json): resolved nodes and edges, with a health report covering orphans, unverified records and images not cleared for reuse
- [Schemas](https://lwilko.com/schemas/okf-envelope/v1.json): JSON Schema per record type, each served at the URL in its own `$id`
- [Library index](https://lwilko.com/library): the same records as web pages

Provenance fields on every record: `generated.by` (`human:`, `model:` or `process:` prefixed), `verified` (a `human:` actor marks a record as human-reviewed), `status`, and `stale_after` as an absolute date. 2 of 153 records are currently human-reviewed; the rest say so.

Licence: the library is CC BY 4.0. Individual images carry their own rights, recorded per record, and several are not cleared for reuse.
