The next chapter of artificial intelligence isn’t just about making the technology smarter – it’s about making it autonomous. Autonomous and agentic AI systems are rapidly transforming the ways we experience technology. As these systems become more commonplace, the question everyone’s beginning to ask is: How do we build confidence in AI systems that act on their own? Our new white paper, Confidence in autonomous and agentic systems, explores the opportunities, challenges, and strategies linked to grasping the full potential of the next wave of AI. The paper discusses: 🔎 The shift from assistive to agentic systems 🔎 The dimensions of autonomy, agency, and authority 🔎 What it takes to ensure AI remains aligned with human expectations Read the paper to ensure you're positioned to make the most of our world’s autonomous future https://bit.ly/43b9bVk #GetTheFutureYouWant #AgenticAI

🎙️ This week’s reality: Are we building AI with purpose or just hoping it figures itself out?    We made it to episode 100 of #CloudRealities — and we’re marking the milestone with a raw, honest "access all areas" conversation about AI ethics in 2025.    Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by colleagues Philip Harker and James Wilson for an unscripted, unfiltered exploration of what it means to live, work, and lead in the #IntelligenceAge. No slides. No prep. Just real talk about autonomy, capitalism, creativity, and the cost of moving too fast.    Key takeaways:   •  “We’ve always relied on intelligent design. Now we’re just throwing data at the problem.”    • “Ethics isn’t bureaucracy; it’s how you protect progress from becoming damage.”     •“Could the Intelligence Age become the emotional intelligence age?”    We explore the risks of AI learning from itself, the flattening of human language, and whether capitalism might drive us into an ethical dead end.  And we ask: Can critical thinking and creativity survive when AI becomes the system?    🎧 Tune in now wherever you get your pods.  💬 Thanks for being with us on this journey. Here’s to the next 100!

Governments have bold ambitions for AI, but are making limited progress on data. To use AI strategically, not just tactically, the public sector needs a solid data foundation. However, our research found that: ➡️ Less than a quarter of public sector organizations report high maturity in any aspect of data readiness – which is vital in supporting AI operations at scale. ➡️ Data sharing is key to improved decision making and AI success, but implementation lags: Only 8% of public sector organizations have fully deployed data sharing initiatives. How can your organization move from tactical AI projects to executing a full-scale AI strategy?

Today’s youth feel anxious about #ClimateChange yet hopeful about their power to drive real progress. We surveyed young people globally and found they understand that #GreenSkills are essential for career success and sustainable living, but many don’t know how to develop them. They’re determined to act, but they need tangible support. The report outlines clear guidelines for policy makers and business leaders to: - Amplify youth voices - Integrate green skills into education - Create clear, equitable pathways into green jobs - Invest in youth-led solutions By harnessing this energy, we can accelerate a just transition to a sustainable economy and secure a thriving planet for all.
