As organisations race to deploy AI agents, digital workers and increasingly autonomous systems, one uncomfortable question is becoming impossible to ignore: How much decision-making should humans ever delegate to machines? This may seem like a new challenge, driven by recent advances in generative AI, agentic systems and digital workers. In reality, the world has already […]
The way we create music matters as much as what we create.
In this lengthy article I consider why AI can be a legitimate creator’s tool, but not at the expense of making music with people.
An unexpected consequence of my exploration of AI use in music is that I have rediscovered my songwriting muse….
Artificial intelligence is being blamed for making experienced workers obsolete. The rather more uncomfortable truth is that rapidly changing industries have always favoured people who can learn quickly, adapt freely and abandon ideas that no longer work. AI has not created that reality. It has merely made it much harder to ignore. There is an […]
The emergence of agentic AI challenges traditional employment-based taxation systems, risking a decoupling of economic growth from job creation. As automation increases productivity, societies must rethink revenue mechanisms to ensure public institutions are funded. The key lies in redefining the social contract to align prosperity with societal wellbeing, rather than solely relying on employment taxes.
Why Every AI Agent Needs a Manager For most of the modern corporate era, organisations have operated on a simple assumption. People perform work and technology supports them. Human beings make decisions, exercise judgement, take responsibility and are held accountable for outcomes. Systems, applications and software tools provide information, facilitate communication and automate routine tasks, […]
Are AIs sufficiently ethical? Definitely not, but not for the reasons you might think. The question is, what to do about it.
Should we halt AI research. Apparently, Geoffrey Hinton thinks so and resigned from Google. But is that what he really did, said and believes? There’s always more under the headlines.
If you haven’t added the NC500 to your bucket list then you should. This photoblog shares some do’s and don’ts.
Music can touch our deepest humanity. Create connections with people we have never met, such that we share a fragment of their soul and are thus enriched. We may mourn their passing and feel a bond with those left behind. I am thankful that the remarkable technology we are privileged to have can preserve their works so that we can find them again and allow their vitality and spirit to endure.
Short thoughts on what Digitialisation means at a personal and business level
The world has changed.
Young employees who have never worked in an office may not be the onboarding challenge we think they are. In fact they may know how to be remote employees better than we do.
Tesla have almost nailed the EV market. Sadly they don’t much understand regionalisation. UK failings are awkward or possibly dangerous.
