Key Topics


Anthropic are safety first

  • Anthropic aims to raise the floor in AI development with healthy competition to drive innovation

  • However, AI’s potential misuse and autonomy necessitates robust governance frameworks.

  • Anthropic’s AI safety levels (ASL’s) are crucial for responsible AI deployment.

  • And they have deployed a Responsible Scaling Plan with if-and-then safety protocols

  • However, the EU's AI regulations may not align with these industry practices.

Agents are the future, but are they the present?

  • The future of AI agents promises greater automation and efficiency.

  • Organisations are increasingly adopting AI agents for various functions.

  • Automation reduces lag time in communication and project execution.

  • AI agents can autonomously analyse and reallocate resources in projects.

  • Performance and reliability of agentic systems are critical concerns.

The AI skill gap is evolving

  • There is a significant skills gap in understanding AI technologies.

  • Effective implementation of AI requires phased approaches and upskilling.

  • And the complexity of AI systems is rapidly increasing.

Is an AI monopoly forming in construction?

  • Autodesk's tight relationship with the US government raises concerns about market monopolisation.

  • This can make it harder for smaller startups to grow

  • This also means innovation lies with the monopolising organisation

  • Trust in AI systems is influenced by the human element behind them.
