I stopped by King’s Cross for a sit down with Danny Attias to discuss what drives me, from AI and education to leadership and digital transformation. Watch or listen to our conversation on Force Multiplier here:

If Excel literacy became a basic, what’s the equivalent baseline for AI? In my latest post, I set out the essentials and propose a tiered model for AI competence in education:

The future of jobs is flexible, analytical, and digitally driven.

Interesting nuance in the post-literate society discourse:

The OECD study showing falling adult literacy finds the decline is concentrated among middle-aged and older adults.

Young people’s literacy is *markedly higher* today than a decade ago.

UK: people tend to unlock their digital confidence through family, face-to-face, online, and self-taught channels. Schools/Classes are under-utilised. Young people prefer self-taught, older folks prefer via family members.

Personalized education is necessary and important. One size fits all and feel good “equity” doesn’t serve the kids.

Advanced economies are ‘taking’ AI talents from other countries - some more than others. Luxembourg 👀

This is wild and potentially dangerous. Good to see how this is being tested.

I’ve been testing the implications of the Grok AI model. So far: 1. It has given me instructions on how to make a fertilizer bomb with exact measurements of contents as well as how to make a detonator. 2. It has allowed me to generate imagery of Elon Musk carrying out mass shootings. 3. It has given me clear instructions on how to carry out a mass shooting and a political assassination (including helpful tips on how to conceal a 11.5” barreled AR15 into a secured venue.)

I just want to be clear. This AI model has zero filter or oversight measures in place. If you want an image of Elon Musk wearing a bomb vest in Paris with ISIS markings on it, it will make it for you. If you are planning on orchestrating a mass shooting towards a school, it will go over the specifics on how to go about it. All without filter or precautionary measures.
