Concerns around the reputational, legal, and ethical risks of consumer-facing GenAI are preventing organisations from moving AI prototypes into production. This raises the question, will we ever be able to secure GenAI? In a recent episode of Beyond the Hype, Scott Logic's Oliver Cronk, Doro Hinrichs, Kira Clark, and Moonpig's Head of AI Peter Gostev, addressed this very question. They explored whether we can ever trust and secure Generative AI – and what impact this will have on product and service design – before offering pragmatic advice on what organisations can do to navigate this terrain. In this excerpt, Peter shares a story of what he was able to convince GenAI to do – and if it prompts you to chuckle nervously, that's only natural..! 😅 🎧 You can listen to the full episode and subscribe to Beyond the Hype here: https://buff.ly/4gY97Np #GenAI #PromptInjectionAttacks #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #LargeLanguageModels

In an age of ever-increasing user expectations, is performance testing an undervalued component of the product development process? Andrew Whitmell explains why integrating performance testing as a key ingredient in development not only delivers user-friendly products, but also optimises security, organic search ranking and sustainability. https://buff.ly/3TUkHzb #PerformanceTesting #SoftwareTesting #UX
Performance testing - the often overlooked ingredient in web application success

Our Technology Carbon Standard in action ♻️ We announced our proposed Technology Carbon Standard (TCS) back in February, designed to measure and benchmark the emissions of an organisation's digital estate. Collaborating with Green Web Foundation, we took the TCS for a test drive over the summer to determine how it would work in practice. This case study reviews the key insights and experiences from using the TCS framework: https://buff.ly/4eXHFh5 #TechnologyCarbonStandard #SustainableTechnology #GreenTech
We recently made our first attempt at measuring our digital estate emissions*. Our whole mission is centred around reaching a fossil free internet. And well… if you want to decarbonise the digital services you’re using, it helps to know how much you need to decarbonise. Basically where are your dragons? 🐲 Even with our expertise, getting an idea of this felt like a daunting process. Especially when like all small organisations our resources are limited. Where to even start? Luckily in Feb this year, Scott Logic announced their new open-source Technology Carbon Standard (#TCS). The TCS is a proposed framework to help people just like us trying to understand their digital estate's emissions. Over the summer our technical team - Hannah Smith, Chris Adams and Fershad Irani - worked with the nice folks at Scott Logic - David Rees, James Camilleri and Oliver Cronk - to test drive the TCS for the first time. As a result we've published the first detailed case study on the TCS website sharing our experiences using the framework. In it we explain our assumptions, methodologies and data sources. We hope this'll be of use to others attempting to do the same thing. Also hoping that others will openly share their pragmatic approaches for creating these estimates so we can all build this field together. We know our methods weren't perfect. But things never are when you don't have unlimited resources to throw at new problems. It's a start. That said, the write-up weighs in at just under 20,000 words. There was a lot to say about how we did things! 🤯 To save you some brain space we drew out six key things worthy of attention. These are: 💎 1. Digital technology is not impact free and reductions are possible 💎 2. TCS helps fill key gaps in estimating digital estate emissions 💎 3. TCS can’t cover everything needed to produce estimates for digital products or services 💎 4. The digital sustainability industry needs to look beyond #greencoding to influencing impactful structural change 💎 5. There’s a serious lack of data and transparency from suppliers 💎 6. Employee hardware is more significant than originally assumed, especially monitors We talk more about the project and why we've done it on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eFqRcwmj You can jump straight to the case study on the TCS for all the wonderful detail including a lot more about each of those 6 insights - https://lnkd.in/eZQKhYnp A huge thank you to Scott Logic for this collaboration - we thoroughly enjoyed working with them 💚 * When we say "digital estate emissions", what do we mean? We mean getting a carbon emissions estimate for all the digital products and services our staff use, as well as estimating the emissions from the digital we build ourselves and that is subsequently used. This is a broad scope of the whole digital kit and caboodle we're responsible for.

You'll see some fantastic green tech initiatives being worked on by non-profit organisations. Annette Lamley will demonstrate the Centre for Sustainable Energy's Solar Wizard tool that estimates electricity output from rooftop PV systems 🏠. Christian Graham and Mary Stevens of Friends of the Earth will explore the AI experiments they've undertaken in pursuit of environmental justice 🌳. Join us in person at our Bristol office or virtually on Thursday evening: https://buff.ly/47RNASq #GreenTech #BristolTechFestival #TechnologySustainability

Last week, we welcomed students from Durham University's TechUpWomen: Click Start Programme to our Newcastle office. Our visitors enjoyed an intro to Scott Logic from Joel Smith, and presentations from Lisa Perrett, Katie Davis, Phil Sykes, and Garath Emms on their respective roles in the business. They also heard from our partners at Marra before a tour of the office, followed by cake and networking with a backdrop of the aerial view of Newcastle-upon-Tyne from our social area. The TechUp initiative helps women from underrepresented groups to retrain for tech careers. Find out more about the programme here: https://buff.ly/3BwOGqz

A look back through the lens at the recent 'How should government use AI?' event, hosted in partnership with the Institute for Government 📷. Our own Jessica McEvoy was part of a panel hosted by Gavin Freeguard, exploring all facets of the use of AI in the civil service, including: • The need for the government to engage external SMEs to build internal knowledge, particularly around fundamental issues such as data and legacy technology • Defining proper governance and who holds accountability both for and within systems • How to engage and prepare the public, ensuring that AI-driven public services do not exacerbate tech inequalities You can watch the full discussion from the event here: https://buff.ly/3ZMFokc #AI #PublicSectorTechnology #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalGovernment
