Send us a textIn this special episode, I take a step into the interviewee’s seat as my good friend Steve Morreale turns the tables and puts me in the hot seat to talk all things AI. Together, we reflect on a defining year for artificial intelligence in 2025, explore what’s coming in 2026, and share our real-life experiences of working, experimenting and sometimes wrestling with these fast-moving tools. From the birth of AISix to the power of conversational AI and the importance of learning by doing, this conversation is an honest, practical, and thought-provoking look at how AI is reshaping the way we think, work and lead.

Ep 250: The Problem with AI Detectors
Send us a textAI detectors are increasingly unreliable. As generative AI becomes more natural and nuanced, these tools struggle with false positives and false negatives, sometimes flagging human work as AI, and missing AI entirely. In this episode, I explore why detectors are breaking down, how non-native speakers are disproportionately affected, and why the real solution may be moving from a culture of detection to one of disclosure instead.

Ep 248: EU AI Rules Delayed
Send us a textThe European Union has pressed pause on some of its toughest AI regulations, delaying key “high-risk” obligations until late 2027 as part of a new Digital Omnibus package. In this episode, I unpack what this means for businesses, innovators and citizens, the push for simplification over red tape, and the controversial shifts around data use and consent. Is this a necessary reset to stay competitive, or a risk to ethical AI safeguards? Need More Support?

Ep 247: My GP is Using AI
Send us a textAt my last GP appointment, an AI medical scribe called Heidi was quietly at work in the background, listening and turning the consultation into structured clinical notes. I asked my Instagram followers how they feel about this, and the results were split: 75% were happy for AI to handle transcription and follow-ups, while 25% were firmly against it.In this episode, I explore why clinicians are turning to tools like Heidi to reduce burnout and improve documentation, and why some patients remain uneasy about privacy, accuracy and the potential impact on the doctor-patient relationship. Would you be comfortable with AI in the room with your GP?Need More Support?
