I'm speaking at Brazen Festival on Lead Day! 🎤

Join me on Monday 9 November in Bristol for my session 'Human in the lead, not the loop', where we'll be talking about keeping a human in the loop.

Leading AI is like leading anything else: set the direction, set the limits, let it run, and own what happens. The hard part isn’t the technology. It’s making sure the person accountable has the authority, the understanding and the safety to say stop.

Brazen Festival has an incredible line up of speakers who will be looking at big-picture thinking, practical insight and honest answers from industry on what's coming next.

Come and be a part of the conversation!

📅 Monday 9 November

We've been exploring a simple but uncomfortable question this month: does your organisation actually know why it uses the AI tools it uses, or has that decision just never come up?

Most of us would find that harder to answer than we'd like. That's not a criticism, it's just where most organisations are right now.

Next month we're picking up where this leaves off, looking at who actually gets a say in decisions like this, and who tends to get left out of the room.

If your organisation is stretched, and whose isn't, here's a small thing worth doing this week.

Write down: the AI tool your team already uses, the task it's for, what should never go into it, and who can answer questions about it.

That's four lines. Not a policy, not a big review, just enough to turn something that happened by accident into something your organisation has actually decided.

Add a date to check back in a few months, and you're done for now.

A recent sector report found that 79% of charities are now using AI in some form, but only 4% describe that use as part of a clear strategy.

Only 17% have agreed, as an organisation, which AI tools they actually approve of.

That gap matters, because where a decision isn't made openly, it tends to get made by default, by whoever's interest happens to be loudest at the time. That's not usually the people doing the day-to-day work, or the people the organisation exists to help.

The good news: closing that gap doesn't need a big governance project. It starts with naming what's already being used, and by whom.

Here's something we're noticing across the charity and social enterprise sector this year: most organisations are using AI in some way, but almost nobody has actually decided to.

A tool arrives bundled with existing software. A colleague recommends something free. Nobody says no, because nobody's really being asked. It becomes part of the daily routine without anyone choosing it.

That's not necessarily a problem. Choosing the free or already-included option can be exactly the right call for a stretched organisation. The issue is that most of us can't say whether it was a choice or just an accident.

We think that's worth fixing, and it doesn't need to be complicated. Naming the tool, the task, and the person responsible is a good first step.
