BCS Insight Exchange

The headline writers are certain: in the age of generative AI, coding is a skill that’s lost its lustre. But the truth is different. In this episode of BCS Insight Exchange, Charlene Hunter MBE, CEO and founder of Coding Black Females, explains why learning to code still has the power to rejuvenate careers and enrich lives. The key, she says, is working with AI rather than against it, and that means learning to love learning new things. Founded in 2017, Coding Black Females is dedicated to empowering and supporting black women in the tech industry.

Digital transformation is not just about adopting new technology. In this episode, Rebecca George CBE FBCS, BCS Past President, explains why successful transformation starts with clear leadership, strong organisational vision and a solid foundation in data, infrastructure and skills. She explores how organisations can approach AI more effectively, why existing technology is often underused, and what leaders need to do to prepare people for continuous change.
