"Automated decision making without meaningful human oversight fails UK GDPR and the EU AI Act. Fully illegal in both territories by December 2027."
My guardrail in CHRO Daily: one named, board-level owner for AI in HR. Not a department. A name.

Featured in @BrettFarmiloe piece for @FastCompany on (what I call) AI interrogative literacy:
"LLMs produce what could be true, not what is true. The scarce skill is no longer producing the analysis, it's knowing whether to trust it."

In 1896, Bridget Driscoll became the first person in Britain killed by a car. The coroner hoped it would never happen again. It did — 60m+ times since. We didn't ban the car. We built seatbelts, traffic lights, crash tests. So why's AI different?

So, are we in an AI Infrastructure Bubble? What can history tell us? And will things really be 'different this time'? Some thoughts in my latest Catalyst article: linkedin.com/pulse/ai-we-bub… via @LinkedIn
For every AI Hallucination that makes headlines and is publicly documented, there are dozens that slip by unnoticed. My contribution:

Pleased to see the J-curve framework for tech adoption cited in @InstituteGC's report on UK tech diffusion. The core challenge isn't just spreading technology — it's helping firms navigate the productivity dip before the gains arrive. Recommended reading.
It's time to put tech adoption at the centre of the UK’s national growth plan.
