#4: New Year, New Hope ⭐️ Our new purpose, workplan, and website - building a solidarity network for everyone who wants technologies to work for people and planet

I just accidentally sent out the Society for Hopeful Technologists email newsletter 12 hours earlier than planned, but the upside of that is that I can share our excellent new website and plan of action buttondown.com/society-of-h...

I definitely think that the AI hype has sucked the oxygen out of the room when it comes to companies viewing accessibility as an investment or innovation topic. The dominance of AI in business and technology conversations is to the detriment of other important topics.

I’m talking about AI and accessibility at A11y North this month, in Leeds. If it’s something you’re interested in, it would be great to see you there!

So many people find themselves prescribed antidepressants at some stage in their lives. This study in the Lancet is really insightful and allows people to compare the side effects of different medications. #AXSChat www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Are we not already there?
Certainly don’t think that any of the captains of industry are paragons of virtue and the level of blind faith / ignorance of potential consequences amongst the general business populace let alone the public is quite astonishing.

The depth of colour on the leaves of this Acer “Okagami” is truly stunning.

We discussed:
-The impact of the European Accessibility Act
-AI & accessibility misconceptions
-Collaboration for digital inclusion
