Thoughts from Under the Fold
The Transparency Paradox
People demand transparency about AI use, but research shows disclosure erodes trust. The solution isn't hiding AI or defending its use—it's demonstrating where humans add value. Learn how to navigate the paradox and build trust through thoughtful AI governance.
Workslop, Junk Learning, and the Future of Teams
Generative AI is boosting speed—but at what cost? New research reveals troubling patterns: cognitive decline, "junk learning," and a flood of low-value "workslop" eroding trust inside teams. Leaders face a choice: let AI dull their organisations, or shape how people use it.
What About Trust?
Cyber security taught us to prove controls; AI asks us to earn trust. Traditional governance relies on audits and certifications, but your employees, customers and partners are asking a simpler question right now: can we trust you with AI? With only half of professionals trusting generative AI at work, waiting for formal frameworks isn't an option.
The good news: trust is something you can build today. Decide where staff can use AI, map your current tools, and label AI-assisted outputs with a human reviewer. Small, visible steps earn confidence — and the organisations that start now will be the ones people trust when it matters.
