Sustainable AI’s Efficiency Trap: Greener Models, Bigger Footprint
As artificial intelligence becomes a core part of business operations, its environmental footprint is attracting growing attention. With AI adoption accelerating across industries, businesses face a new responsibility: reducing the environmental harm of the models they use. Practices such as selecting more energy-efficient architectures, optimising deployment, and demanding better supplier transparency can lower impact. Not […]
AI for Emergency Response: Revolutionising Crisis Management
Artificial intelligence has moved beyond being an experimental technology and is becoming an increasingly important tool in how emergency services prepare for and respond to crises. AI in emergency response enables organisations to process vast amounts of data quickly, identify emerging risks, and provide decision-makers with valuable information when every second matters. From predicting flooding […]
Why Most AI Pilots Fail – And What To Do Differently
A reflection following the BioIntegrates panel: AI-Driven Alliances: Collaborating Beyond the Possible The Number Nobody Wants to Talk About Last week I sat on a panel with some of the ambitious AI-driven biotech companies working in the UK today — teams building AI to screen a billion drug molecules in hours, design precision medicines for […]
AI autonomy guided by safe innovation
AI autonomy, safety, and the responsibility of serving users who need it most When building AI systems for vulnerable populations, every design decision carries weight. Too much control and you lose the naturalness that makes conversations helpful. Too little and you risk responses that could genuinely harm. We’ve spent years building conversational systems for charities […]
Sustainable AI Models: Who’s Leading the Way?
As artificial intelligence becomes a core part of business operations, its environmental footprint is attracting growing attention. Training and running large language models (LLMs) consumes vast amounts of electricity and water, not only during the training phase but also throughout their daily use. With AI adoption accelerating across industries, businesses face a new responsibility: choosing […]
Sustainable AI: Innovation and Environmental Responsibility
We’ve seen a lot of successful AI case studies lately, from speeding up medical diagnoses to optimising energy grids. But behind the promise of smarter systems lies a growing environmental concern. As AI adoption accelerates across industries, so too does its energy and resource consumption. LLMs come with two categories for carbon emissions (operational and […]
The Future of AI in the UK: AI to Tackle Real-World Problems
Artificial intelligence is a present-day force reshaping industries, and daily lives. But so far the AI landscape has been a bit of a wild west. Regardless, 2025 is fast becoming a watershed year for the UK. In the last few months, the government has unveiled a wave of plans, funding packages, and pilot programmes designed […]
Is Artificial Intelligence as Expensive as it Seems
The world of AI can look like a playground for only the big fish. It’s easy to feel that only businesses with deep pockets can afford it. If you’ve peeked into the world of AI in the past, you may have wondered why artificial intelligence came with such with a hefty price tag. But here’s […]
Exploring Low-Code and No-Code AI Platforms
In today’s fast-moving digital world, having technical knowledge is more important than ever. However, learning how to code from scratch can be daunting, requiring years of experience and dedication. That’s why more businesses and individuals are turning to low-code & no-code development platforms (LCNC platforms)—a way to build software and AI applications without the steep […]
AI Tools Transforming Local Government
Local governments across the UK are under increasing pressure. With shrinking budgets and rising demands for public services, councils are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to help them meet these challenges head-on. County councils have seen their workforces reduced by 33% since 2012, yet local authorities today face increasing demand. AI is changing how local […]
