FWD50

Find you a crew that stans you the way #FWD50 celebrates @honeygolightly

“If people are having a freak-out about technology, it's a good time to have a reflection on technology. Not just emerging technology, but also the technology already all around us.” Dr. Alexis Wichowski #fwd50 @fwd50

Leaving YOW en route home from #FWD50, feeling equal parts physically drained & psychoemotionally re-invigorated. In particular, referring to one of the inimitable @honeygolightly’s slides, inviting us into a next phase, feeling motivated to contribute to cultivating what comes next.…

It is a mistake to continue to engage in digital duality, between a “real world” & a virtual world.

I think Estonians grok this.

Far too many media, politicians, & civil servants still don’t.

Use offline & online.

Digital services & interactions are real.

Making them “other” is part of the problem.

Nele Leosk (Estonia's Digital Ambassador) at #FWD50 makes me think about digital identity and service customization for Canadian public services:
- how do we achieve this in our federal model?
- how do we balance privacy with "usefulness"?
- while I do think customization can be very useful for people who want it, I strongly believe we need to help people navigate our services without asking for their identity - they should be able too explore services and programs anonymously

The hot goss from this AM’s talk from Nele Leosk of the e-Estonia program is that you are now able to get married online and not yet get divorced online, but it’s coming soon 💁🏻‍♀️ #fwd50

Looking forward today's talk in AI in the public sector at #FWD50.

I had explored the topic quite a bit a few months ago: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gfmznOdt-_NHlRj0JZLM3mogSfRz3A_ckBsrT1MRwwM/edit?usp=sharing

Point about organizations being legacy systems is good (although I have some reservations about how term "legacy system" is often used.)

I will admit I stayed away from Industry Innivations Stage worried that it would be one big sales pitch. I was proven wrong with the session “Unlocking the Power of AI in Modern Data Platforms for a Trustworthy Conversational Daya Experience”. Great session, learned a lot, met some great people. #fwd50

I always wonder about these generalizations about "the private sector." Is the average business in the private sector actually doing leading-edge, agile software development or are we conflating software companies with the whole private sector?
