  Episode 64: Using ChatGPT's Agent to accept LinkedIn requests

  Jul 24, 202511 minS6

  <p>In this episode, I'm exploring the capabilities of ChatGPT's Agent tool, demonstrating its ability to manage rather simple tasks such as accepting LinkedIn requests. I wanted to record the capability -- as it is today -- for posterity. As they say, this is the 'worst' that the technology will be -- it should, theoretically, always be improving. </p><p>So what's it like? How good is it? Watch along. I'll show you how it moves the cursor around its screen, navigating and completing (ultra simple!) tasks on my behalf. </p><p>Then I briefly discuss the implications of this...

  Episode 61: Who owns AI in your bank? Who should own it?

  Jul 8, 202530 minS6

  <p>In this episode, I explore the complexities around who truly owns AI within a bank. I talk about the strategic and operational ambiguity that often gets in the way of successful implementation, and why moving from Proof-of-Concept ("PoC") to production is such a challenge. </p><p>I examine the roles of different teams across the organisation, the political dynamics that can slow progress, and the vital importance of senior leadership stepping up to take real ownership. </p><p>I also highlight the risks of leaving things vague and the need for a clear, structured approach to deploying AI across...

  Episode 60: Why banks should be learning about AI, not doing AI

  Jul 4, 202522 minS6

  <p>In this episode I'm tackling the critical need for banks to focus on learning about AI rather than rushing into Proof-of-Concepts and implementations. </p><p>I take a look at the macro current state of AI in financial institutions, highlighting that while there are some outliers, the majority are not actively utilising AI technologies in any compelling manner beyond "a bit of Microsoft Copilot". </p><p>I also discuss the importance of building a foundational understanding of AI across all levels of an organisation - and I point to the Lloyds Bank Data & AI Summer School initiative as a...
