Leading AI

Leading AI - We need to talk: the spark has gone from my relationship with Google Google felt like a partner—smart, fast, effortless. But now search feels like work, and I’ve found myself turning to Perplexity instead. It’s not perfect, but it tries—and shows its working. For the f...

Google was once the front door to the internet. But search is changing—and so are my habits. Perplexity feels less like an ad maze, more like a curious research assistant. Not perfect. But exciting.
Are we the last generation to say “just Google it”?

Leading AI - You can’t break into the library: why AI and IP law feels messy — but actually makes sense Recent rulings in the US, UK and EU point to a simple distinction: using AI to help create is fine, but letting it do all the work? Not so much. Just like you can borrow ideas from a library but can’t...

AI + copyright isn’t as complicated as it sounds. You can use AI to help you create. You can’t let it do all the work and call it yours.
Think library rules: read, learn, quote. Don’t photocopy the whole book.

For the first time, models could focus on meaning and context, n...

We rely on AI more than we think — and it all started with a paper called “Attention Is All You Need.”

Leading AI - Opportunity and risk: Why AI is neither (a) good nor (b) evil but still (c) both/neither We often find ourselves in discussions where teams frame AI in moral extremes: good vs evil, opportunity vs risk, saviour vs destroyer. It’s hard to make some space to reflect on the question, but it'...

Is AI good or evil? Or just another powerful tool we need to stop arguing about and start using with care?
New blog on risk, reward, robots, and why the best hero moment is the one where someone tries to understand the beast.

Engine AI - Is it working? How to measure the impact of AI (without driving people nuts) Every time we introduce a new bit of AI kit someone asks: “How will we know if it’s working?” It’s usually shorthand for: “Will this make us faster/better/cheaper?”

What if your AI project’s real value isn’t in saving time, but in what people do afterwards with the time they get back?
Whether you're in local gov, non-profits, or just curious about real-world AI impact, this one’s for you.
