One of the biggest questions businesses are asking about AI is, "When should we use it?"

I think that's why this update to Teams is a sensible one.

Microsoft’s making it easier for meeting organizers to switch AI features on or off.

That includes tools like meeting summaries, AI-generated notes and Copilot assistance.

On the face of it, that might sound like a step backwards.

After all, if AI is supposed to save us time, why would anyone want to turn it off 🤷

But not every meeting is the same.

For a project catch-up where you want automatic notes and action lists, AI could be genuinely useful.

But a confidential discussion about employees, finances or a potential acquisition?

You might decide you'd rather keep AI out of the conversation altogether 🤐

Having that choice is key.

I also think we're reaching a more mature stage of AI adoption.

When these tools first appeared, there was a lot of excitement about adding AI to everything.

But now businesses are becoming more selective.

They're asking where AI improves productivity and where it adds another layer that isn't needed.

It's a healthy approach 👍

Good technology should adapt to the way your business works… not force you to adapt to the technology.

For me, the real takeaway from this announcement is that businesses are recognizing AI works best when people remain in control.

There will be meetings where AI-generated notes save hours of admin.

There will be meetings where nobody wants an AI assistant listening, summarizing or contributing.

The important thing is that you can decide which approach fits the situation.

👉 Where do you think AI adds the most value in your business... and where would you rather leave it switched off?

One of the biggest mistakes I see businesses make is thinking cybersecurity advice has a long shelf life.

It doesn't 🙅

The habits that kept you safe five or ten years ago aren't necessarily the ones that will protect you today.

Take passwords, for example.

There are still plenty of people using the same password for multiple accounts because it's easier to remember.

But it's also much easier for cybercriminals.

If one website suffers a data breach and your password is exposed, attackers will try that same password on dozens of other services…

Including your email and business accounts 😱

Or think about public Wi-Fi.

Many people still assume it's fine as long as they're "only checking emails".

But public networks are a popular hunting ground for criminals, and fake Wi-Fi hotspots are designed to look almost identical to the genuine ones 😳

Then there are scams.

There was a time when phishing emails were full of spelling mistakes and strange formatting.

But those days are largely behind us.

AI is helping criminals write convincing messages that look professional, sound natural and are often personalized using information they've found online 🤖

That's why I think one of the most outdated security habits of all is believing you'll always be able to spot a scam yourself 👀

Of course, you still need to pay attention.

But modern cybersecurity is more about having the right protections working in the background.

🔒 Strong, unique passwords
🔒Multi-Factor Authentication (where you approve a login using your phone or an app)
🔒Automatic software updates
🔒Reliable security software

These reduce your reliance on spotting every threat with your own eyes.

Technology has changed dramatically over the last few years.

The way we protect ourselves must change with it.

🤔 Which cybersecurity habit do you think people still underestimate the most: Strong passwords, software updates, or recognizing scams?
