Enjoying the thought-provoking final @sdingov.bsky.social keynote - Steph Wright on AI in public services: Responsibility, realism, and public good.
“The majority of AI discourse today is framed through the lens of inevitability - but at this point not involving AI is still a choice.”

I was so stoked to finally run something with @claragt.bsky.social . We’ve been looking to work together for ages and I finally got the chance today @sdingov.bsky.social
It was such a deliberate, thoughtful and intentional crowd as well. A true pleasure all round!

I had a wonderful time delivering a workshop on Ending gracefully at #sdingov with @imhuyorks.bsky.social this morning.
The room was gentle, reflective and intentional. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to Imran for showing me a different mode to facilitate in.

Governments often focus more on keeping 'fraudsters' out of services than they do on ensuring everyone who is eligible can get access. It's why we have huge security/ identity teams, but small accessibility teams
