Here are some behind-the-scenes shots from this week's filming session with Nick, Russ and Scott.

We pulled them away from their day jobs to talk about our AI Accelerator Programme and the four pillars at its core: 𝑨𝑺𝑺𝑬𝑺𝑺, 𝑻𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑴, 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑻𝑬𝑪𝑻 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑻𝑹𝑨𝑰𝑵.

Videos coming soon... expect great content with some very random moments.😂

Music, podcasts, or enjoying a bit of silence now the kids are back at school?

Well, Microsoft has found another way to help you work while you're driving...

🚗 Copilot is now available in Apple CarPlay!

You can ask Copilot things like:

"𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑦 𝑑𝑎𝑦"
"𝐹𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑘𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑦 𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛"
"𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑦 𝑛𝑒𝑥𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔"

All you need to do is:

✅ Download the app
✅ Sign in
✅ Connect it to your car

Then just say "Hey Siri, ask Copilot..." or, if you're anything like me "Hey Siri, I want to work before work. Ask Copilot." 😂

At the Kent AI Conference, one message stood out:

𝘈𝘐 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺.

The challenge isn't understanding AI. It's knowing where to start.

That’s the warning from some of the world’s biggest technology companies, including Microsoft, Google and OpenAI.

The reality is that AI is making cyber-attacks faster, more sophisticated and easier to launch. What once took days can now take minutes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyz11475l1o

That's why businesses need to focus on the fundamentals:

🧑‍💻 Secure devices and accounts
👩‍🏫 Train users to spot threats
✔️ Meet recognised standards like Cyber Essentials
🔒 Invest in solutions that continuously protect the business

WorkSafer our helps organisations build stronger cyber resilience while supporting their Cyber Essentials journey, giving businesses practical protection against modern threats.

AI is creating incredible opportunities, but it is also raising the stakes for cyber resilience. Now is the time to make sure your organisation is prepared.

Google, Microsoft and OpenAI among 100 firms calling for better cyber defences The letter warns cyber-attacks which use AI will become more sophisticated in a matter of months.

Kent AI Conference follow-up event raised a question every business should be asking:

𝙄𝙨 𝙆𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙄 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣?

While enthusiasm for AI continues to grow, many organisations are still struggling with where to start, how to manage risk and how to implement AI effectively.

Great insights from the panel, including Deborah Ward-Johnstone, Mary Kemp, Catriona Ross and our very own Nick Ellis, and plenty of food for thought on how Kent businesses can accelerate adoption and remain competitive.
