Just back from a planning session with @robynjay for the eLearning 08 Conference, which is scheduled for December 2008 in Sydney. It sounds like an interesting conference. Mark Pesce is going to deliver the keynote and I will be facilitating interactive panel sessions.
And for these panel sessions interactivity is the watchword. No passive observers! It's going to be all about engagement, inspiration and passion. Can't wait.
Organisations that treat AI as a series of disconnected experiments will end up with expensive demos, shadow IT and AI, and mounting risk rather than real business value.
Artificial intelligence is now a first‑order cyber risk driver, as well as a productivity tool. AI‑accelerated threats, fragile model “harnesses,” and concentrated dependence on a few vendors demand urgent uplift in governance, resilience, and incident response.
Generative AI has hit the peak of inflated expectations. The Gartner Hype Cycle reminds us we've been here before - and shows why governance, not hype, and doing the work still matters.
AI isn’t magic. It’s change management (and people). Ignore that at your peril.
