You are Invited

Hi Reader,

You are Invited: Ignorance Is No Defence

Someone in your organisation is already using AI on live work. Client data, staff records, marketing content, decisions that affect real people. Under the EU AI Act, how they use it is now your liability, not just theirs.

And it's not just about what staff paste into a chatbot. The Act asks things most organisations haven't even started on: labelling AI-generated content, disclosing when someone is talking to a bot instead of a person, marking synthetic images and video. Miss these and it doesn't matter how careful you've been with data.

This has all landed over the summer. Now we're back, obligations are in force, more are coming, and enforcement doesn't wait for you to feel ready.

Join us for a free 45 minute lunchtime session with two of Ireland's sharpest minds on AI compliance, Jan Carroll and
Stephen Redmond, hosted by our head of course development,
Emma Marlow.

We'll Cover :

  • What the Act actually asks of employers, in plain terms
  • Where staff use of AI creates exposure you might not know about
  • Labelling and disclosure obligations, including AI-generated content and chatbot interactions
  • What 'AI literacy' obligations mean in practice, not in theory
  • What to put in place before enforcement bites

You don't need to be head of compliance or a lawyer to need this. If you or your team use AI at all, this is what you need to know now.

Hi Reader! An architect friend asked me something over coffee a few weeks ago and I still haven't managed to put it down. If AI halves the hours she spends on a project, does that saving go back to the client? Or are they paying her for the skill? She's well ahead of most in her use of AI, she's just asking the uncomfortable question: the better she gets, does that mean invoicing less? Or does it mean invoicing more - more clients, and a premium for being the practice that delivers faster?...

compression burnout is a thing

Hi Reader! Someone asked me to ring them back in half an hour last Friday. So I did a few small jobs first, felt the time was up, reached for the phone, and only fifteen minutes had passed. Half an hour's work done in fifteen, and my body clock was still reading thirty. This is time being compressed. Funny at the time. Less funny by Sunday, once I'd added it to the tiredness, the short fuse and the broken sleep and realised I was closer to burnout than I'd like to admit. Not there yet. Caught...

Hello Reader! By the end of four Tuesday mornings you will be drafting client reports from raw meeting notes in minutes, and you will know exactly what you can and cannot put into an AI tool without creating a problem for yourself. That is what Core AI Skills is for. The autumn cohort starts on Tuesday 15 September. Most people arrive a little nervous. That is normal, and it tends to be the ones who arrive nervous who get the most out of it. What you leave able to do Turn raw notes and...
