T Levels: Industry Workshop - Digital and Business and Administration - Surviving the Technology Tsunami

Join us for this exciting T Level online workshop “Surviving the Technology Tsunami” with Laura Ellis, Head of Technology Forecasting at the BBC Research and Development.

 

Laura Ellis is a technologist and journalist with a focus on emerging technology, machine learning, disinformation, and data. She has worked on news teams in radio, TV, and online, and led two regional news and current affairs teams thorough significant technology change, establishing the BBC’s first end-to-end digital newsroom. In her current role Laura focuses on ensuring the BBC is best placed to take advantage of emerging technology and takes a particular interest in ethics, personalised and automated journalism, machine learning and generative AI.

 

In this session Laura will talk about:

 

• Is it just me? Has the pace of change stepped up? (Spoiler, it’s not you. There’s a lot going on.)

• How do we cope with the onslaught of new technology developments and keep our teams up to speed, well informed and engaged with

innovation?

• How can we deploy AI safely and responsibly in the work we do?

• How do we equip organisations to make the best technology decisions?

 

Following the presentation, there will be time for a Q&A with Laura.
