This week I sponsored a fantastic roundtable discussion with HP, SEC Newgate and guests. The use of tech has accelerated exponentially over the last few decades, with AI now at the forefront of advancements. However, too little consideration is given to recycling and refurbishment as part of our reliance on technology. Discussions also centred around the use of AI to ensure sustainability in various sectors such as healthcare.
On Thursday, I introduced my Members’ Business Debate recognising 30years since the genocide in Srebrenica. You can read more about my debate in my previous post. The atrocities carried out against Bosnian Muslim men and boys, and the impact on their families, must never be allowed to happen again. Having visited Srebrenica last year with the charity, Beyond Srebrenica, and seeing the plight of those families in getting truths and justice, I was privileged to be able to bring this Members’ Business Debate to the chamber.
Music is an important part of my life, and I was delighted to meet with Playlist for Life, Scotland’s leading music and dementia charity. Music is personal, evoking feelings and memories unique to each person. Playlist for Life state that over two decades of scientific research has shown that listening to a personalised playlist can improve the lives of those living with dementia, and helping them connect with family, friends and carers. You can find out more about the charity here: https://www.playlistforlife.org.uk/
