AI GOING WRONG: Parky's Back

​

Welcome to your media future, where even death can’t save you from being wheeled out to host a podcast.

​

The late Sir Michael Parkinson is back - sort of. AI has resurrected his voice and interviewing style to host Virtually Parkinson, a podcast featuring guests like, er, Jason Derulo.

​

Did Parkinson consent to becoming the digital face of awkward posthumous conversations? Should celebrities (and us?) now start including "no AI podcasts after death" clauses in their wills?

​

What to Say: Blink twice if you need help.

What not to say: You've sounded better.

​

AI is turning nostalgia into a business model, The media’s future might be AI-driven, but should it be powered by the echoes of an empty TV studio? Talk to us about effective AI use cases.

FUTURE OF WORK: WEF Report

​

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 (long but very insightful) highlights workplace transformation led by AI - and it's a story of progress and upheaval.

​

What you need to know:

​

• AI adoption is shifting: 86% of companies expect AI to fundamentally transform their operations by 2030.
• Jobs will shift, not just vanish: AI is projected to displace 9 million jobs but create 11 million new roles.
• Upskilling will define the winners: 75% of businesses plan to reskill workers for AI collaboration, but execution remains uneven.
• Strategy is in flux: Half of companies are reorganising their business models to capture AI-driven growth, creating space for new opportunities but also new risks.

​

What it means:

​

AI isn’t the singular saviour or destroyer of worlds. While its integration is inevitable, the outcomes depend largely on preparation.

​

Businesses that embrace AI as a strategic enabler - rather than just a cost-saving tool - will be better positioned to adapt to industry shifts. However, this requires more than just technology; it demands investment in people.

​

For employees, the stakes are high. While new jobs will emerge, they will require different skill sets. Creativity, adaptability, and technological fluency will be indispensable.

​

Looking to navigate the AI transition with clarity? We help businesses align their strategies, prepare their teams, and ensure they thrive.

AI SUPPORT: Get An Agent

​

AI agents are autonomous systems that understand, plan, and execute tasks to achieve specific goals. Here's what you need to know.

​

• They’re versatile: AI agents can handle tasks like customer service, scheduling, data analysis, and more.
• Efficiency wins: By automating routine workflows, AI agents free up human teams for higher-value work.
• Make a plan: Early adopters are using agents to reduce costs, and streamline operations, but implementation requires careful planning.
• Collaboration is key: Success with current agents requires aligning AI capabilities with your team’s strengths.

​
We help organisations integrate AI agents effectively into their workflow - while keeping teams in the loop to migitate risk. Get in touch to find out more.

AI IN THE UK: Labour Go Pro

Labour has outlined plans to make the UK a global AI superpower - with promises of growth zones, a national supercomputer, and AI-driven NHS reforms.

​

Key announcements

​

• AI Growth Zones: Streamlined approvals for data centers to accelerate infrastructure expansion.
• National Supercomputer: Major investment to address current computing shortfalls (Note: The last supercomputer got canned)
• Energy Solutions: Launch of an AI Energy Council to tackle power demands, including exploring Small Modular Reactors (Nuclear)
• Healthcare AI: Plans for anonymised health data to improve NHS services.
• Pro-Innovation Regulation: A divergence from EU’s AI rules to promote growth and innovation (Leaning towards US?)

​

Context and Implications

​

While the strategy signals a strong commitment to AI, substantial hurdles remain. Funding requirements for supercomputers and data centers are not inconsiderable. Energy grid capacity and unclear data governance raise questions about feasibility.

​

For businesses, the streamlined regulatory approach is promising, encouraging innovation while reducing red tape. However, companies must navigate uncertainties around infrastructure readiness and public trust in AI systems.
