Hosted by Sathpal S. / Green Software - Scotland

Compare local AI models with fast frontier systems in this practical Green AI talk, hosted online by Green Software – Scotland on 5 October 2026. Local AI or the frontier? Running a model locally can appear to be the greener option, while lightweight frontier models promise efficiency through speed and scale. But which approach actually has the lower energy use and carbon impact? This one-hour virtual session examines that question without relying on assumptions or vendor-led claims. Marcus Knight, founder of BeGreenAI, will put local models head to head with fast frontier options such as Claude Haiku and GPT-4.1 nano. He will explore where each approach wins, and why neither side offers an obvious universal answer. The session is designed to help attendees make better everyday AI choices. You can expect to learn: - How local and frontier models differ in their energy and carbon implications - When reaching for a local model may make sense - When a fast, lightweight frontier model may be the better choice - Why model efficiency should be judged through evidence rather than assumptions - How greener AI decisions can also improve workflows, productivity and results Speaker and format Marcus Knight is an AI trainer and sustainability consultant working at the intersection of AI adoption and environmental impact. Through workshops, talks and strategic support, he helps teams audit how they currently use AI, reduce digital waste, and adopt greener tools and systems. His approach focuses on practical, evidence-based sustainable innovation while helping organisations get more from the AI products they already use. Hosted by Sathpal S. and the Green Software – Scotland community, this autumn event takes place online from 5:00–6:00pm BST on Monday 5 October 2026. The virtual format makes it accessible to attendees beyond Edinburgh, with the event link becoming visible to registered participants. Meetup’s event chat also gives attendees a place to connect and continue the conversation.… Register for this event

Hosted by Practical AI for Business & Professionals Network

Learn how online passive income models are structured in this beginner-friendly workshop on digital income streams, business tools and automation. Taking place online on Wednesday 7 October 2026 at 8:00 PM, this structured session breaks down the process of creating a simple digital income stream into clear, practical steps. Rather than assuming technical knowledge or previous business experience, the workshop focuses on accessible approaches that participants can adapt to their own interests, experience and skills. What the workshop covers Hosted by Victoria for the Practical AI for Business & Professionals Network, the session will explore: - The basic structure behind an online passive income model - A step-by-step process for setting up a simple digital income stream - Common tools and systems used to automate parts of an online business - Examples of approaches that can be adjusted around your own skills and interests - Practical ideas to investigate and apply independently after the event The format is a guided educational workshop, with clear explanations of the key concepts and processes involved. Its related themes include artificial intelligence, online business, digital marketing, passive income and side hustles, although the emphasis is on understanding the underlying model and how automation can support digital business operations. Who is it for? This workshop is designed for beginners interested in learning how online income streams typically work. It may be useful for business professionals, aspiring online entrepreneurs and people exploring a side project who want a structured starting point without being overwhelmed by technical detail. No prior experience or technical background is required. The event is intended for learning and informational purposes, and the organiser notes that outcomes will depend on each participant’s effort, experience and implementation. It is therefore best approached as a practical introduction rather than a promise of guaranteed income.… Register for this event

Hosted by The Curve and Homeslates

A focused virtual webinar for senior leaders moving an AI-built prototype into production, covering security, data handling, scale, ownership and trust. AI has made it dramatically easier to create working software, but a convincing demo is not the same as a system an organisation can safely rely on. Running from 11:00am to 11:30am on 13 October 2026, this session examines the work that emerges once a vibe-coded tool leaves the experimental stage, starts handling real data or becomes part of a customer journey. From working prototype to trusted system James Ridgway, CTO at The Curve, will be joined by Tom Gothard, Managing Director at Homeslates. Together, they will explore what changes when an AI-built application moves from “it works” to “we depend on it”. You can also view James Ridgway’s profile for more on his background. The discussion will address questions that are easy to postpone during rapid prototyping: Who owns the tool? Where does its data sit? What happens when it breaks? Can it operate securely and reliably at scale? The speakers will unpack the confidence gap between seeing a demo function and knowing that the underlying system is safe to implement. Topics include: - Why easier software creation does not automatically make software easier to trust - What a working demo cannot reveal about security, data handling and scalability - The implications of using a tool with real organisational or customer data - How to decide whether to review, harden or rebuild an existing application - Why platforms such as Lovable and Claude Code can help build software but cannot independently provide credible assurance that it is safe Who should attend? This webinar is designed for senior leaders across all industries who already have something built with AI and need to determine what happens next. It is not an introduction to vibe coding, and no technical background is required. Instead, expect a concise, practical conversation about evaluating an existing system and understanding what production readiness really involves.… Register for this event
