The weekends news has been full of the doom-mongers gurning at the AI boom or should we call it a bubble? Which got me thinkng, we have been here before have we not? When inflated expectations, fuelled by investor FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), surge to irrational heights before the inevitable correction. Then comes the […]

In cybersecurity and technology governance, we spend endless hours dissecting frameworks, controls and certifications. We argue over Zero Trust architectures, resilience models and assurance seals. Yet there is a much deeper, more uncomfortable layer to the story, one that no encryption algorithm or multi-factor authentication or audit can patch or detect. Our digital trust is […]

“The future arrives not with a whisper, but with an echo of mistakes we chose not to imagine.“ A storm is gathering in the world’s supply chains. Its name is Agentic AI (Artificial Intelligence). These autonomous systems, tasked with sourcing, negotiating, routing and optimising without human pause, are being heralded as the next great leap […]

The trust theme in my last blog got me thinking about the pedestal Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being placed on. When Alan Turing proposed his famous Imitation Game in 1950, he asked a deceptively simple question, paraphrased as – “If a machine’s responses are indistinguishable from a human’s, should we call it intelligent?” For decades, […]

For a party that insists it is on the side of the people, the current UK Labour government shows an increasingly uncomfortable tendency to treat privacy and personal freedom as optional extras, privileges to be granted when convenient, rather than rights to be protected. Recent policy moves reveal a temperament that blends centralised control with […]

Not for the first time, I have finished reading a report and instead of remembering the message, I am left wondering which AI model wrote it. Fifteen minutes of polished nothing. Like being served a three-course meal made entirely of rice cakes, technically food, but utterly forgettable and lacking any nutritional value for the effort. […]

Some time ago I wrote about the challenges (AI Regulation – Like Platting Fog!) The West has with Artificial Intelligence (AI) development with its greater respect for privacy and more robust regulatory data governance versus China for example. AI Regulation – Like Platting Fog! | Nigel Gibbons ~ Welcomes you This should not be misinterpreted as […]

To all you good people of the modern surveillance state, that which you are more familiar with in its curated form as ‘the information age’! This missive is addressed to honour our unsung hero: publicly available data, the ultimate gift that keeps on giving… to cybercriminals. Imagine a world where you can impersonate someone using […]

In the CISO role, the security landscape often feels like a moving target. But more subtly, it’s also a recursive system, where each well-intentioned solution replicates the original problem in more complex, granular forms. This phenomenon is what we call the Fractal Trap where in cybersecurity, some problems don’t get solved they evolve. Welcome to […]

The fantastical concept of Super Artificial Intelligence (AI), also known as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), envisions a machine that can surpass human capabilities in virtually every cognitive task. Emphasis on the word ‘virtually’ because, let’s be honest, the real kicker is that our super-intelligent robot overlords are still light-years away from true human perception. Sure, […]

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Industrial Control Systems (ICS) brings immense benefits but also significant accountability challenges. AI for industrial control systems refers to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to enhance the performance, efficiency and reliability of industrial automation and production systems. AI solutions can be applied to various aspects of […]

The debate on AI regulation involves complex considerations of ethics, technology, economics, and policy. Proponents argue regulation ensures ethical AI use, protects privacy and security, prevents monopolies, guarantees public safety, and establishes accountability. Critics, however, warn it may stifle innovation, disadvantage countries in global competition, risk regulatory capture, struggle with AI’s rapid evolution, and face […]
