This Week in Leading AI — AI Adoption, Copilot Frustrations & Why Timeliness Beats Efficiency
It’s Kieron’s birthday — and he’s spending it talking about AI. You’re welcome.
This week Neil and Kieron get stuck into one of the biggest challenges facing businesses right now: why aren’t people actually using AI, even when it’s sitting right there on their desktop? From Microsoft Copilot popping up like a bad penny and doing nothing useful, to the real reason workflows stall, this is an honest conversation about the gap between AI promise and AI reality.
They also dig into:
- AI in education — from annual monitoring reviews to student enquiries answered in minutes, not weeks
- The “AI champion” problem — why nobody’s raising their hand, and why they should be
- Data readiness — why your policy documents might be quietly sabotaging your AI results
- Timeliness vs efficiency — why speed of response is the real competitive advantage AI can deliver
Plus: a shout-out to their loyal listener (yes, singular), Kieron heading to Scotland’s Housing Festival, and a birthday present that may or may not be consumable.
Honest, practical, and, as always, we’re having a laugh at our own expense. Get the beers in.
