Last year, the UK Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published its 10- year National AI Strategy for the regulation and promotion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK (Report). DCMS seeks to build “the most pro-innovation regulatory environment in the world” and vows to make the UK the “best place to live and work with AI” over the next decade. Since then, the UK government and regulators have taken various steps towards this aim, with the Report anticipating a large number of AI-centric publications and consultations. Some key examples (and their latest status) are summarised below, including a policy paper and white paper on a pro-innovation national position on governing and regulating AI, an Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) consultation on the beta version of its AI and data protection risk toolkit, and a consultation on copyright and patents for AI through the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

The demands of running global supply chains can be unrelenting – perfection of operations, innovation in support of lastmile delivery, and assurances of sustainability in the pursuit of delivering the “perfect order” as promised. Now, transportation companies face the additional challenge of sharpening their core competencies while increasing the pace of innovation, adapting emerging technologies, and sharing data with their customers to improve transparency and efficiency. Long characterized by capital-intensive assets, forward-looking cargo companies are turning their attention to the data that comes from their own assets and infrastructure as well as from their customers. It is a complex transition, one that requires knowledge-based labor, automation, and predictive planning to turn transportation companies into digital platforms.

Microsoft 365 provides organizations with a range of efficient, new-style productivity and collaboration tools that are widely embraced across the world. However, Microsoft 365 comes with some shortcomings in certain key areas, such as security, auditing, archiving, backup and recovery, data protection, and more. Relying solely on the native capabilities in Microsoft 365 can lead to challenges, such as missed security threats and the inability to recover accidentally deleted data – all of which can be costly.

The concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) dates back to the 1950s with researchers trying to use machines to simulate human intelligence in machines. However, their use in the financial sector has been limited.
