I've trained over 10,000 people in AI The same 3 challenges come up: 1️⃣ Resistance and cynicism by team members 2️⃣ Overwhelm - how to keep up, which tools to pick 3️⃣ Buying the tech before establishing why Here's how I deal with each: Resistance/cynicism: → Quality, non-technical education to dispel fear → Inspire with use cases they didn't realise were possible → Promote gamification and play to discover this new tech Overwhelm: → Demo tried and tested tools → Explain I only use a set of 5 tools myself, even in my job! → Introduce to the best AI creators on LinkedIn + YouTube Tech-Centricity: → Start with overarching business goals → Identify + prioritise challenges in achieving them → Match relevant AI tech to each problem 💬 I'd love to know - what are you finding to be the barriers between you and AI right now? I'll help/advise where I can. Thank you to Daniel Plume for having me on his Behind The Creator podcast. PS Incidentally, the very lovely Daniel is currently looking for new content strategy clients.

The global Microsoft outage on Friday, triggered by a software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, is a significant event in AI news for several reasons. This incident highlights the vulnerability and interdependence of critical IT infrastructures on a global scale. Here are the key points: 1. Integration and Dependency: The outage, caused by a faulty update to CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor security software, underscores how deeply integrated cybersecurity solutions are with operating systems like Microsoft Windows. This level of integration means that any flaw in the software can have widespread repercussions, affecting millions of devices worldwide and crippling essential services such as hospitals, airports, banks, and emergency services. 2. Impact on AI and Cloud Services: Many AI applications and cloud services rely on stable and secure IT infrastructure. Disruptions like this can hinder the operations of AI systems that depend on continuous data flow and processing. For instance, AI-driven diagnostic tools in healthcare or automated systems in airports were likely affected, demonstrating the critical need for robust and resilient infrastructure to support AI technologies. 3. Lessons for Future Development: The incident serves as a cautionary tale for software development and deployment practices, especially in the realm of cybersecurity and AI. Ensuring thorough testing, phased rollouts, and having robust rollback mechanisms are crucial to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The need for safe-by-design technologies, such as sandboxing and non-destructive testing environments, is also highlighted to contain bugs and prevent widespread disruption. 4. Strategic Implications: For AI researchers and developers, this incident illustrates the importance of integrating cybersecurity considerations into the AI lifecycle. From design to deployment, ensuring that AI systems are resilient against such disruptions is paramount. Additionally, it brings to light the importance of collaboration between cybersecurity and AI teams to safeguard against vulnerabilities that can have far-reaching impacts. Overall, the Microsoft-CrowdStrike outage not only disrupted various sectors but also provided valuable insights into the complexities and risks associated with the interconnected nature of modern IT and AI infrastructures. *To read more on details visit: https://lnkd.in/dEFs7aVi & https://lnkd.in/divZnhg9 Image from Chat GPT 4o #aidisruption #cybersecurity #ITInfrastructure ##AirportAutomation #TechReliability
