Events

You are invited to an online consultation workshop to help prioritise the most important AI challenges and opportunities for Scotland. This will be a focused workshop, where your perspective will help Scottish Government officials prioritise deliverable elements of the strategy.

The new AI Strategy will build on Scotland’s AI Strategy (2021), retaining its aim to develop a trustworthy, ethical, and inclusive AI ecosystem while addressing barriers to growth, enabling businesses, innovators, and communities to fully benefit from the economic opportunities of AI. Your insights will play a vital role in shaping a strategy that drives sustainable, economic growth and supports a thriving AI ecosystem.

Giving us his rundown of the Top Ten Tech Trends of 2026 will be former Gartner analyst Richard Marshall, whose expertise covers numerous areas of software development including, mobile, low code, web tools, AI and Blockchain.

While technomaximalists make huge claims of an amazing future, the reality is that all too many things are just broken or at best held together with string and tape. All too often we’re trying to build impossibly huge structures on fragile foundations. Several recent infrastructure failures have shown just how weak our data supply chains truly are.

So if we want to build cool new stuff, we have work to do – and this will determine the key areas of focus for the coming year.
