Presentations:

The Post Office Horizon Scandal: Service Failure - Amy Thornley

A look at the the Post Office Horizon Scandal that has been dominating the headlines as of late from a Service Design perspective. Looking at the key layers of the service and organisations that may have shaped Horizon's failure. From culture, through to processes and technology - and what we can learn as people working on services using technology.

Why AI Development must prioritise Sustainability - Harry Stanyer

As AI is more widely adopted globally, what are we learning about its impact on the planet? And what can developers do to make their AI more sustainable?

Rubbish Fun - Tom Chiverton

Have you been to the Macc council waste collection web site? It's rubbish; Could we recycle it in to something better? I can't bring back your green bins, but I can show how I (very unofficially) wheeled out something easier. Expect to hear about decoding strange APIs, writing and deploying NodeJS code and where to host hobby projects.
