A quote from my son:

#LinkedIn is just Facebook for people who want to cosplay business people. 😄

The enthusiasm about AI isn't without concerns - data leakage, copyright infringement, & are major red flags. Future legal legislation & liabilities that come with the proliferation of AI are a perfect storm.

Wondering about the future of AI and the future of work?

First up, it will NOT be what it is now. Big changes are ahead & new architectural designs will be needed, both for the tech ecosystem & workforce design. 💡

About 7 years ago, I was asked to participate in an experiment to use audio to improve focus and sleep patterns. https://t.co/q3eZGAv46G commercialised the results. https://t.co/y2G0KKaLZu

This is not a promotion of https://t.co/q3eZGAv46G, but something worked for me. Placebo?

I feel terrible for all the amazing people involved in GovERP. I know how hard they have worked, but the harsh truth is that large-scale ERP projects are on the ropes everywhere. We detailed this & how to avoid the fallout in this free download https://t.co/0MrMABB1dk

Hi to all my #developer and #crm network.

I have been asked to present at a developer conference on how we've been integrating AI services directly into our core systems for a while now. I am doing this as a customer, not as an i…https://t.co/i93fbOpObT https://t.co/0s2nyjXrvl

From the Influencing newsletter today...

This may sound like a niche topic, but for Australian and Asian enterprises where remote connectivity is a challenge, the use of low-orbit satellites is changing the economics of communication and providing operational resilience. It also opens up remote…https://t.co/plCnf2ZWYo

Late last night, an old colleague asked if I would comment on the current state of AI and the trends IBRS has been predicting for some years now - namely that most organisations would leverage AI through existing investments in Saa…https://t.co/5Hjz4UVY4p https://t.co/33jvPY3qvD

For people looking to make a difference and up Australia's cyber prowes (and their salaries!) this could be a great option. The demand for cyber professions just keeps growing. https://t.co/QGBFPrIqz6

Today I saw the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my career. Yes. it's about OpenAI's GPT.

First, a little background. A little over a year ago, I wrote a paper detailed the massive risks of staff using meeting and screen recording software and tra…https://t.co/Jcw10ewWGK

Great to see this research being released. Callie Evans and I did many interviews and analyses over several months and drilled down into what makes a technology partner successful.

The report is a must-read for #microsoft and related technology servic…https://t.co/s2Q97KhEkR

Tricking and arguing with AI has become a bit of a hobby for me. Products such as Peppertype, and Google assist were easy game during covid. New services, such as Midjourney and GPT-4, have proven even more fun. The games give me hope I can stay (just) a…https://t.co/tkfhOotBnp

Oh dear. Liberals (or someone claiming to be Matt Kean MP) sending unsolicited and no number sms messages with a shortened link.

This is the perfect way to teach your constituents how to fall prey to cybercrime.

A reminder. Please don't click on SMS…https://t.co/A8sUbHV0It

The new study on "The State of Identity" drew a few conclusions, one of which is being reported by ITWire.

The inability of identity and security professionals to move the dial on identity governance (and therefore compliance) due to how investments ar…https://t.co/xaCDv7DavF

The one paper I've been wanting to write for a decade is finally out!

The need to educate business leaders in futurism. Futurism is not a wishy-washy-crystal-ball-gazing exercise but a rigorous review of what is known and knowable, and what is not.…https://t.co/uCqewX1nev

After a LOT of work, I am very happy to announce the launch of the new IBRS website.

It is a complete rebuild and migration of thousands of IBRS research papers offering practical, pragmatic advice to ICT executives. We've added…https://t.co/JMmXgDTZ42 https://t.co/DafCKzNBha

I just updated a VendorIQ to reflect this IBRS's tests of ChatGPT-4.

In short, the expanded model will revolutionise human-device interaction. The impact: the metaverse may very well be overshadowed by the audioverse. Audio cues…https://t.co/MEfI6SZP49 https://t.co/5DEbN1YSex

"Them are fighting words!" This paper gives sound advice on why we keep on falling over with data management: the big myths and the truisms that are not always true. https://t.co/4n7gLxhkZz
