This was truly amazing, Neil. I can especially resonate with being someone who learns methodically. I think I may have to buy that book once you publish it. 😊

Thanks Sharon. Work progresses. With the speed of change I think this book is needed. Fancy being a beta reader?

I wondered if perhaps you might offer me a preview. 😊

I’d be honored.

Interesting! I had a conversation recently with a younger friend who was extolling the virtues of AI for writing h&s policies, risk assessments etc. I am deeply sceptical about the value to humanity of this kind of regurgitation - if I get MY AI to summarise/precis the output of your AI, and neither of us properly read or critique the results, what has been achieved, other than a meaningless corporate arse-covering box-ticking.

AI clearly has its place in our future, but what that place is, exactly, - and who controls it, and who benefits - remains to be seen.

I am heartened to see that my scepticism has at least some value.

Your scepticism has huge value Catherine. With AI, the biggest danger by far is diving into it blindly. I see this as a huge challenge for all of us. There’s no ignoring it. The speed of its development and effects on our lives is unprecedented. We’re all going to have to learn and adapt and we need to do it now!
