What if a simple app could save precious minutes in an emergency and even prevent medication errors?
In this episode, I chat with Declan Watters, a paramedic from Donegal, about the AI-powered medical tool he developed, Medisnap.
Designed for pre-hospital and emergency care, the app uses OCR and AI to quickly identify medications, flag critical interactions, and provide inferred medical histories, helping paramedics, nurses, and doctors save time and make better-informed decisions. We dive into how the app was created, how it’s being used internationally, and the journey toward regulatory approval, all while bootstrapped and built as a side project. A fascinating story of AI for good, innovation, and practical impact in healthcare.

Ep 292: Is AI Overloading UK Government Departments?
23/1/2026 | 6 mins.

Written Parliamentary Questions to UK government departments doubled in 2025. That is according to a Sky News exclusive published on 7 January 2026.
The number rose from 49,125 in 2024 to 90,331 last year. Government sources are now accusing some MPs of using AI to generate questions, diverting civil service resources and wasting public money. But MPs deny the claim and say the real problem is that ministers are not answering their questions properly.
Today, I am looking at this fascinating story from Westminster and what it means for public sector leaders. Whether or not AI is behind the surge, the implications for government capacity and accountability are significant. This is a case study in how generative AI is changing the dynamics of democratic oversight.

Ireland now ranks fourth in the world for AI adoption. That is according to the Microsoft AI Economy Institute's Global AI Diffusion Report published on January 8th 2026.
In the second half of 2025, 44.6% of Ireland’s working-age population used generative AI tools, placing us just behind the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Norway.
Today, I am looking at the key findings from Microsoft's AI Diffusion Report. This is essential reading for anyone working in government, public or private sector communications or digital transformation. The data tells us where AI is being adopted, why some nations are surging ahead, and what lessons we can apply here in Ireland and beyond.

Ep 290: Three AI Skills to Master in 2026
21/1/2026 | 7 mins.
Send us a text
Gartner predicts that 40% of enterprise applications will include task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% today. If you think the pace of change in the last twenty four months was fast, 2026 will feel like a total shift in the professional landscape.
We are moving away from the era of the curious experimenter and into the era of the agentic architect. The question is no longer can you use AI, but can you govern, orchestrate, and refine it to a professional standard.
In this episode, I am looking at the three core skills you must master to remain relevant and competitive in 2026.

The U.S. federal government has set up AI contracts worth up to hundreds of millions of dollars each with four major providers, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Elon Musk’s xAI.
Through a new agreement, xAI’s Grok chatbot can now be procured by virtually any federal agency, marking a significant moment in how advanced AI is integrated into state institutions.
Today, I am looking at how xAI has secured a place in US government operations and what this signals for the broader adoption of AI in public administration.
