  • AI IPOs are War Bonds

    AI may be leading the world’s greatest nations into a death spiral of unchecked spending on technology that improves productivity only for assurance work about which no-one really cares – even if they should.

  • Safer AI for a Safer World

    When safety becomes a primary design concern from the start, the result is not just lower risk. It is better systems that require less rework, resulting in more effective innovation with less cost and in less time. Safety is not a constraint. It is a way of seeing more clearly.

  • Is RAG Dead? Why Domain Schemas Are the Real Elephant in the Room

    To truly understand how to fix modern AI queries, we must trace how data evolves from raw text to a final answer, and look at the catastrophic loss of information that occurs when we impose a domain ontology too early in the process.

  • Why do we need AI at all?

    In previous centuries, new sources of economic value emerged from sources that are no longer acceptable – extracting resources from colonies (e.g., silver mined in South America), gunboat diplomacy (e.g., forcing China to accept the opium trade), and large-scale human exploitation (e.g., Lancashire cotton mills). So where can we now look for the massive injection…

  • How Cities, Regions, and Responders can bring their risks to life

    The risk management challenge is to help humans make best use of their knowledge, skills, and experience. We must help risk professionals process all this information easily, when funds are limited, risk responses cross boundaries, and every action must be as effective as possible. We must make documents and data work harder – not by…

  • How to unlock trustworthy, transparent, standards-compliant AI

    While AI continues to evolve rapidly, developers and enterprises face a common challenge: maintaining control and transparency without sacrificing the power of generative agents. At Collaboration Tools, we are bridging this gap with a hybrid approach based on our unique Dedoctive technology.

  • Trust is a Sustainability Issue

    In the working world, there’s a secret sauce to sustainability: trust. Without it, every decision has to be verified, safeguarded, and hedged. That takes time, costs money, and burns energy. This matters enormously for AI. We often talk about AI as if it were a neutral tool that just happens to consume electricity. In reality,…

  • The Most Energy Efficient Machine Ever Created

    The real framing of the AI sustainability question is this: “Does AI reduce the total energy required to achieve meaningful outcomes?” To answer this question, we need to look at more than server racks, and take a systems perspective. The total energy cost must take into account human labour, organisational processes, and the physical world…

  • AI’s Real Footprint

    You can assess the impact of data centre construction in square footage, GPUs burning in megawatts (or more commonly now, gigawatts), and cooling systems in running costs. But there’s another kind of energy footprint, one that is far harder to measure, potentially far larger, and fundamentally dependent on the reliability issues discussed in earlier articles…
