It’s a busy week for Scottish technology. With the election around the corner I want to highlight the National Conversations Hustings on Tech and AI happening this Thursday evening. It’s being run at the Bayes Center in Edinburgh, but if you can’t make it in person then you can tune into the livestream (provided by LiveToAir).
