Holyrood Connect’s annual Digital Transformation event for the Scottish public sector is returning to Edinburgh for another year.

This conference will be a premier opportunity for delegates to reflect on where Scotland’s public sector is on its transformation journey.

Through a variety of session formats, including keynote addresses, panel discussions and interactive masterclasses, the event will provide real-life examples of digital transformation within the public sector for you to learn from.

This year’s agenda will delve into crucial topics, including:

• The future of Scotland’s public services
• Overcoming existing challenges
• The importance of AI, regulation and transparency
• Infrastructure and Procurement
• Digital Inclusion

The conference will also feature an exhibition and networking area, providing a platform for you to connect with peers, and explore relevant solutions to help your organisation on its digital transformation journey.

The majority of crimes today have a digital footprint and technology both enables crimes to occur and for law enforcement to work, creating an ever changing and more complex relationship between the two in a race for one to always be at least two steps ahead of the other.  

Fast moving digital technology has helped create a new genre of criminals who are educated, tech savvy and can sell their skills for nefarious purposes. The ever-growing issue of serious and organised crime depends on sophisticated technology linking a variety of criminal activities, including child sexual abuse and exploitation, people trafficking, and drug smuggling, making the perpetrators harder to trace. 

The increasing use of AI by criminal gangs makes detection ever harder and as a criminal tool, AI can be used for purposes like intimation, humiliation, and harassment. Criminals will use AI tools like ChatGPT for writing assistance, allowing inexperienced writers to craft effective marketing messages that lure in potential victims of so-called romance fraud and can also be responsible for encouraging murderous acts and radicalisation.  

For the law enforcers too, AI can become a powerful tool in predictive policing and assist in forensic data analysis and testing the parameters of privacy and data protection.  

The borderless nature of technology-driven crime also creates new practical and legislative obstacles for those tasked with law enforcement and how they collaborate in the name of justice.  

This annual Holyrood ‘Law Enforcement in a Digital Age’ event builds on what we learnt from the inaugural event shaped around last year’s INTERPOL General Assembly and will explore the main issues that digital technology brings to both enabling crime and fighting it. 

Join leading voices from government, enterprise, and energy as we explore how blockchain is transforming financial services, public sector infrastructure, and green energy in Scotland.
