THE STORY OF… SPAM 📧 (Ep. 25)

The first spam email went out in 1978 to about 400 people — before most folks had heard of the internet. The name came later, from a Monty Python sketch about a café where everything came with Spam. 📧

SUNDAY STORY: The 95 Theses 🔨 (Ep. 24)

Yesterday was Reformation Day. Did Martin Luther really hammer his 95 Theses to a church door in 1517? Historians still argue about it. What happened next isn't up for debate. 🔨

If your employees are using AI at work, here's a question worth asking:

Are they using the tools you've approved...
..or the ones they've found themselves?

New research suggests more than half of employees are using AI tools that haven't been approved by their employer 😬

Even more concerning, some admit they've entered sensitive company information into those tools 😱

I don't think this is happening because employees are trying to break the rules.

Most likely, they're trying to get their work done more quickly.

If the approved AI tool is difficult to access, doesn't do what they need, or isn't available at all, people will look elsewhere.

That's how shadow AI starts.

Shadow AI is when employees use AI tools without the knowledge or approval of the business.

The problem isn't necessarily the tool.

It's that the business has no visibility over where company information is being shared or how it's being stored 👀

Banning AI won’t work.

People will find another way.

And your business will miss out.

A better approach is to give employees clear guidance on which AI tools they should use, what information should never be entered into them, and why those rules exist.

At the same time, ask whether the approved tools are meeting people's needs.

If they aren't, employees will look for alternatives.

AI has huge potential to help businesses become more productive.

But it needs the same level of governance as any other business system.

Otherwise, you don't know where your company information is ending up.

👉 Does your business have a clear AI policy, or are employees making their own decisions about which AI tools to use?

THE STORY OF… DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ⏰ (Ep. 23)

Clocks fall back Sunday. And no, daylight saving time wasn't invented for farmers — they actually fought it. Blame a joke by Ben Franklin, a bug collector in New Zealand, and World War I. ⏰

Here's something that you should probably be aware of…

Google is introducing a new setting that lets some of the information people submit through its services, such as voice searches and images uploaded to Google Lens, be used to help train its AI 🤖

For many people, it's switched on by default.

Now, this isn't about Google looking through every file on your computer.

It's the information you actively upload or submit through its services.

For a lot of businesses, that won't be a problem 😮‍💨

But if your team regularly uses Google tools for work, you’ll want to think about what information people might be sharing without even realizing.

A screenshot of an internal document…
A photo of a whiteboard after a meeting…
A voice search that includes client information…

These things aren’t unusual, but they could contain information you'd rather keep inside your business 🤐

That's why you should review these settings whenever a provider introduces a new AI feature.

The default option isn't necessarily the right one for every business.

As AI becomes part of more of the software we use every day, understanding where your data goes is becoming as important as understanding what the software can do.

It's another reason why having a simple AI policy for your team is worthwhile.

It doesn't need to be pages long.

Just some clear guidance on which AI tools people should use, and what information should never be shared with them.

👉 Have you reviewed your business's AI settings recently, or are you relying on the default options?

THE STORY OF… THE JACK-O'-LANTERN 🎃 (Ep. 22)

Before pumpkins, there were turnips. The jack-o'-lantern started with an Irish legend about a man who tricked the Devil — and Irish immigrants who found a much easier vegetable to carve in America. 🎃

SUNDAY STORY: The Gutenberg Bible 📖 (Ep. 21)

Before the 1450s, every Bible was copied by hand — some were so valuable they were chained to the desk. Then a goldsmith in Germany borrowed an idea from a w**e press, and the Word started getting into ordinary hands. 📖

There's a question I get asked a lot whenever AI comes up 🤔

"Is it going to replace people's jobs?"

The honest answer is... it's not that simple.

A study looking at more than 21,000 companies found something interesting…

The organizations making the biggest investments in AI didn't shrink their workforce.

Over the following couple of years, they hired more people 👌

That might sound surprising when so many headlines focus on job cuts ✂️

But it makes sense when you think about how businesses work.

Buying AI software doesn't magically transform a company overnight 🪄

People still need to work out where it fits, redesign processes, train colleagues, support customers and find better ways of working.

AI can help people get more done, but it doesn't remove the need for people altogether.

In many cases, it changes the type of work they're doing.

Of course, some jobs will evolve.

Some repetitive tasks will become automated 🤖

But that's been happening with technology for decades.

To get ahead, instead of asking, "Which jobs can AI replace?"

Ask, "Which jobs can AI make better?"

If you want to see the biggest benefits, take the time to integrate it properly, experiment with it and help your team learn how to use it well.

Technology creates opportunities when people know how to use it.

💭 Has AI changed the way your team works yet, or are you still working out where it fits?
