AI GOING WRONG: Are You A Robot?
|
They may take our jobs, but they'll never get our humour.
β
Rest assured dear readers, amid all the technological progress this year (from AI text-to-video to the coming wave of agents) we still have the upper hand in outfoxing our silicon cousins with some underhand wit. See Exhibit A above.
β
βDoes this mean humanity is saved, as we're way smarter than AI? Definitely.
Does this mean AI is over as it got properly played? Maybe.
β
So what's the lesson here?
Not a lot. Maybe over Christmas, between your 14th mince pie and Uncle Jay's poorly received charades, play with some LLMs, test out some bot or try and break some AI instructions.
β
Have a good one and we'll see you on the other side. 2025 is going to be a doozy.
AI AGENTS: Google AgentSpace
|
Google Cloud has introduced Agentspace, a platform for businesses to create customised AI agents tailored to specific tasks and workflows. This move reflects the broader AI trend toward personalisation and specialisation in business tools.
β
- Businesses can build agents from scratch or adapt pre-designed models for specialised use cases.
- Agentspace integrates with third-party tools like Jira and ServiceNow, acting as a hub for operational data.
- It includes integration with NotebookLM, leveraging Alphabet’s research tools for added intelligence and adaptability.
β
Context:β
This follows a growing demand for AI agents that go beyond generic solutions (see OpenAI’s Operator and Google's Jarvis). Agents are evolving into essential tools for streamlining complex workflows, from customer service to data analysis.
β
What it means:β
Custom AI agents signal a shift in how businesses can approach automation. With efficiency opportunities comes the need for oversight. Poorly configured agents can pose risks—data mishandling, operational misalignment, and security vulnerabilities.

AI MADE SIMPLE: Small Language Models
![]() |
Microsoft has introduced Phi-4, a small language model (SLM) designed to excel in mathematical problem-solving. While large models often dominate the spotlight, SLMs like Phi-4 demonstrate the potential of smaller, efficient AI systems tailored for specific tasks.
β
- Math specialism: Phi-4 is optimised for precise mathematical operations, suited for industries where accuracy is non-negotiable.
- Efficiency in focus: Unlike large-scale models, SLMs are lightweight and can run locally, making them practical for everyday business use.
- Targeted availability: Currently offered to researchers via Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry, models like Phi-4 are paving the way for broader applications.
β
Context:β
SLMs are often overshadowed by their larger (LLM) counterparts, but they represent a critical piece of the AI puzzle. These models strike a balance between capability and resource efficiency, letting businesses deploy AI solutions without the infrastructure demands of larger systems.
β
What it means:β
Small language models lower the barrier to entry for AI adoption by being cost-effective and resource-friendly. This shift toward specialised tools marks a transition from one-size-fits-all AI to purpose-built solutions. Alongside the rise of AI agents, these will become more ubiquitous in 2025.
