Why AI must be designed for everyone - AI’s role in accessible Public Services | Digital Leaders AI is quickly becoming a core part of how public services are delivered. On paper, it sounds like a win as AI has a lot to offer. It can make services smarter, quicker and more responsive. But the ris...

"There’s no doubt AI can unlock better public services...But that won’t happen by default. It only happens if we’re deliberate, not just about what AI can do, but who it’s doing it for."

Good morning Accessibility team,

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been searching for high‑quality, inclusive image and photo libraries—particularly those that feature people with access needs in work settings or engaged in tasks and activities.

If you know of any resources, I’d be really grateful.

If you have a mooch through my followers and follows you'll stumble across a few familiar faces :D.

I'm very much in the same place. I've had some great chats on here, and seen some lovely content.

But i'm very much still in dip-in dip-out mentality.

The lowwwcarbon website showcase Examples of low-carbon, sustainable, web design and development. Find and learn from examples of sustainable and low-carbon websites.

I've just been added to this wonderful sustainable web resource directory - lowwwcarbon.com :)

I've got a little bit to do around file caching, and killing off a few JS libs that i don't need - but feeling pretty fired up.

This is the site report from ecograder.

Really looking forward to speaking at the digital leaders event this week.

You can still sign-up to be a part of the session if you want to learn more about inclusive AI

Looks brilliant 🙌

Only just discovered this service - and it’s brilliant.

It tells you which platform a train will depart from, 30mins before departure.

Absolutely kills the need for the crazy Ryanair style rush to get on a train, 5mins before departure.

Frost-covered fields at sunrise, viewed from a moving train. The sky transitions from deep blue to warm orange near the horizon. Railway tracks run parallel in the foreground, with frost-coated grass on the embankment

I’m gaining quite an appreciation for how well early morning train trips support you being a productivity power house:

* A quiet space to focus
* A place to bat around ideas
* Just enough internet to be productive
* Nice views
* A large latte
* and… Warm toes

I need a train carriage in the garden

Nice little clip of an alternative door pull for people with mobility needs

I’ve been the same tbh. Googling at the minute to try and understand what, how and where it does things.

Just saw an interesting piece from Zoe Klienman on an emergent AI start-up from China.

DeepSeek was developed for less than $6 million, uses only a fraction of the compute power and chips required by its much larger rivals.

Check out Hocus Focus —a fun keyboard focus game! It brilliantly shows how keyboard navigation works, the importance of logical focus order, visible focus outlines, & avoiding focus traps—all in just a few minutes. Fun, quick, and polished! #WebAccessibility

@ebuie.bsky.social - you may be interested in this.

Braille Lego in the NHS accessibility lab. The Lego bricks spell out ‘NHS England’ and ‘Nexer’.

Braille bricks - Lego box

Braille has popped up a few times in conversations this week.

It’s not a topic I know a lot about, particularly, when moving beyond digital interfaces.

But I’ve loved learning more about the print side of things this week, and the role of blind typesetters and printers

Also got a Lego fix too.

Would love to hear about that!

We’re starting to build a small repo of tools and tech that people can use to help them access services, and also to act as an educational piece.

A dead hard drive over Christmas led me to rediscover this 2011 gem by bsky.app/profile/worr.... It reshaped how I think about design, encouraging me to focus on the environments people are in, creating rich, immersive products & services that truly serve us as humans

A floor-standing banner promoting the Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Digital Media Inclusion. The headline reads “Creative AI: Putting people at the heart of media,” emphasising a human-centric approach. The banner describes the Centre as a challenge-led PhD research training programme co-designed with industry and end-users, focusing on creating intelligent media services for all to ensure digital media inclusion. A call to action urges viewers to “Join us TODAY - work on TOMORROW,”

I had a great day at the UKRI CDT: AI for Digital Media Inclusion event.

It was lovely to meet a group of incredible people dedicated to removing barriers arounds accessing media, information, & services through the thoughtful & innovative use of AI.

BBC Radio 4 - Correspondents' Look Ahead, Looking Ahead to 2025 BBC correspondents forecast the leading news stories for the year ahead

I’ve really enjoyed listening to these shows over the last couple of years.

Image depicts a toilet door sign that say “Please Flush. This is not a show and tell”

An idea for a secret Santa perhaps?

The "change my mind" guy sat in the park with a table. The sign on the front of the table reads "EUSTON STATION IS A COVERT PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT. CHANGE MY MIND"

Not sure i would use covert in that statement. I also think Starbucks and Leon are co-funders in the study design.

Absolutely love these, some brilliant observations and considerations in here.

Thanks so much for sharing them!

These three “Jack’s laws of content” from @curiousscutter.bsky.social are spot on
