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….

Having already published an introductory article on the upcoming #SkillsFiles feature in #SharePoint (and how they will provide context for #AI to drive #governance, #process and #content management) I felt a need to provide some practical tools. Hence this starter pack.
SharePoint is getting Skills Files – markdown instructions that tell AI how your organisation works. From a KM perspective, this is gold dust: consistent, contextual, and a practical way to encode organisational meta-knowledge. Let’s dive deeper…

When I reviewed them I was blown away by their […]

There’s a need for Human In The Loop (HITL) when using AI Agents, but also consider the role of AIITL when people need supervision.
The UC30 conference headphones deals admirably with background voices, not just ambient noise.
