Autonomous #AI agents are entering the workplace and things are about to change - fast. 🤖 We spoke to Oracle VP Miranda Nash to ask how businesses should respond to this new dawn. Here's what she told us about concerns that #AgenticAI could displace human jobs: 🎙️ "Fears around AI replacing employees will dissipate as predictive, generative, and agentic AI features and capabilities become essential tools that make everyone more productive in the workplace. "As AI agents become a central part of many organisations, employees will realise that working with AI helps elevate their work and enable more strategic and meaningful roles." 🎙️ Miranda also shares: 🔭 Agentic AI predictions for 2025 🏢 How agents will change the working world 📝 Why leaders should take a patient approach to AI A huge thanks to Miranda and JP Charles from Oracle.

Sir Keir Starmer wants to see AI "mainlined into the UK's veins". But a new report has killed the buzz of those stimulants rather quickly, showing that the UK AI defence sector is slow, risk-averse, bureaucratic and failing to attract talent.

Really enjoyed speaking with Jasper Hamill about the evolution of quantum technology and where we are currently in the commercialisation journey for Machine. It’s always humbling to reflect on how far we've come and exciting to think about where we’re headed with quantum 2.0. If one thing’s for certain it's that we will continue to feel the seismic power of cold matter quantum sensors as this exciting industry develops!
