Apptio: Why scaling intelligent automation requires financial rigour
Greg Holmes, Field CTO for EMEA at Apptio, an IBM company, argues that successfully scaling intelligent automation requires financial rigour. The “build it and they will come” model of technology adoption often leaves a hole in the budget when applied to automation. Executives frequently find that successful pilot programmes do not translate into sustainable enterprise-wide […]

Controlling AI agent sprawl: The CIO’s guide to governance
Corporate networks are filling up with AI agents, creating a governance blind spot for leaders managing multi-cloud infrastructures. As distinct business units race to adopt generative technologies, CIOs especially find their ecosystems populated by fragmented and unmonitored assets. This mirrors the shadow IT challenges of the cloud era, but involves autonomous actors capable of executing […]

Balancing AI cost efficiency with data sovereignty
AI cost efficiency and data sovereignty are at odds, forcing a rethink of enterprise risk frameworks for global organisations. For over a year, the generative AI narrative focused on a race for capability, often measuring success by parameter counts and flawed benchmark scores. Boardroom conversations, however, are undergoing a necessary correction. While the allure of […]

Scaling AI value beyond pilot phase purgatory
Scaling AI value from isolated pilots to enterprise-wide adoption remains a primary hurdle for many organisations. While experimentation with generative models has become ubiquitous, industrialising these tools (i.e. wrapping them in necessary governance, security, and integration layers) often stalls. Addressing the gap between investment and operational return, IBM has introduced a new service model designed […]

The Law Society: Current laws are fit for the AI era
As ministers push to loosen rules to speed up AI adoption, The Law Society argues that lawyers just need to know how current laws apply. The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) recently launched a call for evidence on a proposed ‘AI Growth Lab’. This cross-economy sandbox is designed to accelerate the deployment of […]
