I predicted the U.S. export ban on Anthropic's Fable 5 would be temporary. Eighteen days later, it was gone. The real story is what came next: a CVSS-style severity score for AI jailbreaks.Read the post
I froze for a moment. "Doveryai, no proveryai", the Russian phrase that slipped my mind mid-panel. Its translation didn't: "Trust, but verify."Read the post
When a government pulled Anthropic's model over a jailbreak, I argued it fixed nothing. If one week of model access can threaten you, the model was never the problem. Your patch latency was.Read the post
How about, instead of worrying about AI attacks, we booby-trap them instead? An AI agent probing your systems has a weakness a human does not: it ingests your content, and you can trap it.Read the post
Me use caveman skill. Me think big. Me save big.Read the post
A daft-sounding toggle that cuts AI token costs by 65 to 75 percent, because the bill scales with verbosity, not just usage.
The biggest risk in mid-market organisations isn't AI doing too much. It's their leadership expecting it to.Read the post

One LinkedIn post hardly gathers traction whilst another goes viral. I wanted to know why, so I used AI to find out. What I found surprised me, and led me to build a system for predicting the likely engagement and reach of any LinkedIn post before it goes live. In this session I'll share how I used AI at every step: to conduct the research, spot unexpected patterns and build the scoring system itself. I'll also give you access to the tool, so you can score and optimise your own posts on the day. Whether you're using LinkedIn to build a personal brand, grow your business profile or drive sales, you'll leave with a new mental model for what makes content perform, a practical tool you can use straight away and a clearer sense of how to approach your own problems with AI. There's a live demo at the end. Bring a draft LinkedIn post.
We've reached an inflection point: stakeholders are scrutinising AI Security posture. Boards are seeking reassurance, procurement teams are probing and regulators are circling, and all want evidence that your AI systems and the data they process are properly governed. This talk covers Shadow AI risks, the governance gaps most organisations miss and practical principles your team can apply to prepare for and evidence AI Security practices.
