The SCSC has come a long way since its inception 30 years ago, and has achieved a great deal throughout that time, undoubtedly contributing to making systems safer. Over those three decades, the club has needed to adapt to a changing world: the use of technology in society has expanded rapidly, and systems have become more powerful, complex and distributed with many new disruptive technologies (such as AI) making safety assurance ever more difficult. So what will the world be like in another 30 years? What will the concerns of the club?s members be in 2052, and what achievements will the club be celebrating?
