Worth Reading – AI Can Accelerate a Culture—Good or Bad
Frankly, AI will be an expensive way to learn that your underlying processes or data were suspect all along.

Worth Reading – Cybersecurity Awareness Month
I love this year’s theme: Don’t Make It Easy for Them. https://www.staysafeonline.org/cybersecurity-awareness-month I remember growing up and hearing adults I knew in law enforcement talk about someone breaking into your house. The general consensus then was that a house alarm or car alarm wouldn’t stop someone skilled and dead set on getting into your house…

Worth Reading – You Will Not Retire
Alex sees the writing on the wall; the idea that anyone can retire at 65 in the near future is a joke. That future existed when pensions were common; homeownership early in adulthood was achievable, and you could work for the same company doing very similar work for over 40 years.
We don’t have any of that now. What we do have is a system that was designed for that, though, and a system that refuses to change with the times.

Worth Reading – Enterprise AI Has a Data Problem, Not a Model Problem
If I’m being honest, every time I hear someone say they don’t like Copilot because ChatGPT or Claude is just better, I have to wonder about that. The models available inside Copilot aren’t that different, but there is one big difference. Copilot has access to all your email, OneDrive documents, SharePoint files, etc.
That’s been a selling point for Microsoft, but it might also explain why the results differ. Your data might be making the results worse than when you use a different tool that isn’t connected to your Microsoft environment.
What is your AI using as its source of truth?

Worth Reading – Teen Social Media Bans Miss the Point
The problem wasn’t trying to keep kids safer by limiting the time they spent away from home unsupervised; it was not giving them alternative ways to build the same connections and skills. When I read about social media bans, I have the same question. How are we replacing the connections to friends, family, supportive communities, and educational information? Because if we aren’t, we’ll protect them from one thing and create other issues.
If not social media, then where?

Worth Reading – AI ROI For Law Firms: There’s Not Any
Stephen is also right to point out that the industry really hasn’t figured out how to make this work. Clients increasingly want firms to use AI to reduce billable hours; lawyers don’t want to use technology that makes it harder to meet their billable-hour requirements.
This sounds like an impasse. One that will require some innovative thinking and partnership between firms and clients.
