With Chief Secretary John Glen recently stressing that AI will not be “a panacea for everything, the UK Ministry of Defence is launching a ‘Productivity Portfolio’ to harness emerging technologies, like chatbots and generative AI, to boost efficiency in both policy-making and military operations. This initiative focuses on leveraging automation to streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and optimise logistics. Guided by government frameworks to ensure ethical use of AI, it aligns with broader efforts to modernize the civil service and drive digital transformation within the MoD.

Honouring the Courage of 1944: A Reflection for Remembrance Day Each year on Remembrance Day, we come together to honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who have defended our freedoms and shaped our way of life. This day is a national opportunity to remember the members of the Armed Forces, their families, and those from Britain and the Commonwealth who stood resiliently through times of war, as well as the vital work of our emergency services and those impacted by conflict or terrorism. The Royal British Legion plays a leading role in this commemoration, helping the nation remember the sacrifices of British and Commonwealth forces. For over a century, they have provided resolute support to the Armed Forces community, with a network of 180,000 members and 110,000 volunteers. Their work extends across numerous partnerships and charitable initiatives, providing enduring support to serving and ex-serving personnel and their families. As the years pass, our commitment to remembrance grows even more critical. Passing this legacy to future generations ensures that the courage and sacrifices of the past are not forgotten. In partnership with the National Literacy Trust, the Royal British Legion has created educational resources for young people, including book clubs, creative writing projects, and activities designed to inspire and educate students about this legacy. This Remembrance Day, let us honour the courage of those who have served—and pledge to remember their sacrifices for generations to come. We will remember them. #Remembrance #LestWeForget #ArmedForces #NeverForget

💡 We don’t think any of us can deny how the education landscape has shifted over the last 30 years, resulting in teachers facing unprecedented challenges that they may have not had to face in the past. With AI making a huge impact across many areas of industry, how can it be positively utilised to work in harmony within our education system to support our teachers? 📝 A Department for Education (DfE) report released last year revealed that many teachers have already turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to cut down on overtime and enhance their work-life balance. 🗣 In a more recent study, the DfE found that while both parents and students were initially sceptical of AI in education, their concerns were largely rooted in a lack of understanding. However, after more detailed discussions, many began to recognise the significant potential of integrating AI into schools. 🤝 The UK Government's new £4 million initiative aims to harness machine learning to support teachers in key areas such as lesson planning, curriculum guidance, and student assessments. Once sufficiently trained, these AI systems will generate materials for teachers and assist with tasks like grading, easing the administrative burden on educators.

A nice green post today 🌱 The UK Ministry of Defence and GeoPura have announced the successful completion of a landmark hydrogen power trial. This work was a joint endeavour between Defence Support within Strategic Command, Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and Front-Line Commands (FLC), delivered in partnership with industry experts, GeoPura. 💡This energy solution, though already in use within the commercial sector, represents its first application in a military context, marking a significant milestone in advancing alternative energy solutions for defence. #PoweringChangeThroughCollaboration #UKMOD #GreenHydrogen

The AUKUS alliance, consisting of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, has taken a significant leap forward with the signing of a landmark trilateral agreement on naval nuclear propulsion. This agreement marks a pivotal development in Australia’s pursuit of a conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarine capability. This milestone agreement underscores the commitment of the AUKUS partners to deepening their collaboration in defence and security. It will enable the seamless sharing of critical submarine naval nuclear propulsion information among the three nations. As the AUKUS partnership continues to evolve, this agreement represents the next important step in enhancing the defence capabilities of Australia while strengthening the strategic ties between these allied nations. https://lnkd.in/ef8Epxs4 #PoweringChangeThroughCollaboration #AUKUS #Alliance

🚨 Global Disruptions - But Significant number of Devices Back up 🚨 Great to see so many of the Cyber and Infosec community come together to help and steer others in what was a major outage indiscriminately effecting Health services, Payment systems, Airports and Banks and Millions of businesses. The impact from a defect in an update to its "Falcon" defence software impacted circa 8.5 Million devices and over the weekend a tool was released to help repair these Windows machines hit by what might be one of the biggest failures in recent memory. The impact of this and the effects on tech infrastructure in General will take weeks to fully recover. Interestingly Mac and Linux hosts seemed to not be affected by the disruption perhaps highlighting the need for diversity in IT Systems. An opportunity for us at Pigment Consulting to test our security systems and emergency plans across our programmes and Cyber capabilities. #ITOutage #CyberSecurity #Consulting #PigmentConsulting #Poweringchange #CrowdStrike #BusinessContinuity
