<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being positioned as the key to faster software development, smarter customer experiences and more efficient operations.</p> <p>Yet as organisations rush to build AI-powered applications, there is a growing recognition that success depends not only on the technology itself, but on the controls surrounding it. The challenge is no longer simply how to use AI, but how to do so safely, securely and in a way that aligns with business goals and customer expectations. Building apps with AI should make processes smoother, but a human needs to be in the loop to add guardrails to development and ensure that an app works safely and as intended.</p> <p>At its summit in London in March, Datadog – a supplier which provides an

<p>In the global race for technological leadership, the past year has been defined by a shift from rhetoric to reality. From the launch of the £500m Sovereign AI Fund to the landmark £2bn commitment to quantum computing, the UK government has sent a clear signal: Britain intends to be a primary architect of the frontier technology era, not just a consumer of it.</p> <p>However, as I sat amongst founders, investors, and technologists at the recent Global Tech Advocates ‘Women Leading Deeptech’ event in London, a more nuanced reality emerged. While the headline funding figures are impressive, the journey to commercial dominance is far from complete. The UK is at a defining moment for its frontier ambitions, and I believe there is the risk of <a href="https://www.compute

<p>The UK’s signals intelligence agency, GCHQ, has confirmed plans to build a national cyber shield using artificial intelligence (AI) agents to defend against cyber attacks.</p> <p>“In the past few months, GCHQ has developed the blueprint for a new national cyber defence capability that will hardwire cutting-edge agentic AI into machine-speed cyber defence,” GCHQ director Anne Keast-Butler said yesterday.</p> <p>The system, which is planned to be up and running within five years, will use AI agents to identify threats to critical national infrastructure, including energy, water, healthcare, transport and financial services.</p> <p>The project, described by ministers as a “generational endeavour”, aims to protect UK infrastructure from sophistic

<p>Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East as well as growing tensions between Western nations and Russia and China are having direct consequences for the security of critical national infrastructure worldwide.

<p>Throughout history, transformative technologies have generally stirred the masses with a mixture of fear, suspicion and misunderstanding. With AI, however, those misunderstandings have taken a surprising turn.</p> <p>Most people aren’t afraid of AI. In fact, confidence is high and anxiety is low. But dig a little deeper and a more complicated picture emerges. Because, while people feel comfortable with AI in the abstract, most fail to recognise it even in their own daily lives.</p> <p>This is the AI Knowledge Gap.
