In this episode of HR Disrupted, Lucy Adams is joined by Karen Moran to explore whether artificial intelligence can help leaders get better at the “people stuff” including giving feedback, recognising effort, and holding difficult conversations. Despite over $360 billion being spent annually on leadership development, most programmes fail to deliver meaningful change. Lucy and Karen ask: can AI offer a smarter, more practical solution? We explore how AI can act as a real-time “pocket coach,” supporting leaders with small nudges and advice exactly when they need it. Rather than waiting for a scheduled training session, leaders can use AI to reflect on their leadership style, build micro-habits, or prepare for tricky conversations. We look at how AI is transforming hiring and onboarding by helping managers to write more inclusive job descriptions, generate interview questions, and create onboarding plans tailored to each new hire. When it comes to recognising and engaging teams, AI can prompt leaders to show appreciation more often and in more meaningful ways. And prompts can also help with career development conversations, especially the tricky ones, such as when someone isn't quite ready for a promotion. Importantly, it doesn't have to cost the earth. Free tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot can deliver a big impact. Simple prompts like “What are three ways I can improve team morale this week?” or “Write a thank-you message for a five-year work anniversary” can help managers act with more empathy and intention.

Our Live 350th episode turned out to be a live 349th episode (because maths) but that didn't stop it from being a storming night at Kings Place in London. Why? Because on this episode our trio became a quartet and we were joined by the magnificent Russell T Davies, who was anointed as an official Co-Pilot. Much hilarity ensued (just wait till you get to Boyd's review of Butterfly) as we tackled everything from AI to Masterchef and everything in between. Audience questions were answered, cake was eaten and a good time was had by all. (Episode 349)Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

Nigam Arora returns to Market on Close to discuss some of the biggest tech moves he's watching in the market. He's impressed with Microsoft (MSFT) continuing to beat "very high" expectations in Azure cloud and Copilot. On Palantir (PLTR), Nigam outlines the company's path to reaching $1 trillion in market cap. While he sees the current price-to-sales ratio as unsustainable, he says Palantir is "so deeply embedded" in the U.S. government that it has a "sticky" source of revenue even if its commercial business wavers.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Burke Holland is a Principal Developer Advocate at Microsoft who leads the Developer Tools Advocacy team. He's done so much in developer tools, like growing VS Code from 6M to 40M+ users. He's a frequent speaker at conferences like Microsoft Build, Ignite, GitHub Universe, QCon, and VS Code Day, which he helped create. He's led many product launches for GitHub Copilot, Codespaces, and more. He has a very popular YouTube channel talking about developer tech. Topics of Discussion: [3:33] Burke describes his transition from being a good developer to an evangelist, inspired by a Visual Studio evangelist he met. [6:27] The rapid pace of change in the software development world compared to other industries. [9:22] AI-driven development and the various modes available in VS Code, including ask mode, edit mode, and agent mode. [15:41] Burke describes the current moment in AI developer tooling — no one really knows yet what the end product is supposed to be. Everyone agrees AI will help developers, but exactly how is still being figured out. [16:39] What are the right questions to ask AI? [17:41] The importance of providing the AI with the right context to ensure accurate and efficient development. [25:05] AI's unpredictability makes it difficult to rely on it for consistent development tasks, which is frustrating and foreign to most developers.

Guest post by Ronnie Hamilton, Pre Sales Director, Climb Channel Solutions Ireland There have been hundreds of headlines about the AI skills gap. Analysts are warning that millions of roles could go unfilled. Universities and education providers are launching fast-track courses and bootcamps. And in the channel, partners are under pressure to bring in the right capabilities or risk being left behind. But the challenge isn't always technical. Often, it's much more basic. The biggest question, for many, is where to begin? More often than not, organisations are keen to explore the potential of AI but they don't know how to approach it in a structured way. It's not a lack of intelligence or initiative or skill holding them back - far from it, it's the absence of a shared framework, a common language, or a clear starting point. From marketing departments using ChatGPT to create content to developers trialling Copilot to streamline workflows, individuals are already experimenting with AI. However, these activities tend to happen in isolation, with such tools used informally rather than strategically. Without a roadmap or any kind of unifying policy, businesses are often left with a fragmented view or approach - the result of which is that AI becomes something that happens around the organisation rather than being a part of it. This can also introduce more risks, particularly when employees input sensitive data into external tools without proper controls or oversight. As models become more integrated and capable, even seemingly innocuous actions, like granting access to an email inbox or uploading internal documents, can expose large volumes of confidential company data. Without visibility into how that data is handled and used, organisations may unknowingly be increasing their risk surface. Rethinking what 'AI skills' means The term "AI skills" is often used to describe high-end technical roles like data scientists, machine learning engineers, or prompt specialists. Such an interpretation has its drawbacks. After all, organisations don't just need deep technical expertise, they need an understanding of how AI can be applied in a business context to deliver value. For example, organisations may want to consider how these tools can be used to support customers or identify ways of automating processes. Adopting AI in this way can encourage communication around it and allows people to engage with AI confidently and constructively, regardless of their technical background. Unfortunately, the industry's obsession with large language models (LLMs) has narrowed the conversation. AI has become almost entirely associated with a select number of tools. The focus has moved to interacting with models, rather than applying AI to support and improve existing work. Yet for many partners, the most valuable AI use cases will be far more understated - including automating support tickets, streamlining compliance checks, and improving threat detection. These outcomes won't come from prompt engineering, but from thoughtful experimentation with process optimisation and orchestration. Removing the barriers to adoption For many businesses, the real blocker to full-scale AI adoption isn't technical complexity, it's structural uncertainty. AI adoption is happening, but not in a coordinated way. There are few formal policies in place, and often no designated owner. In many cases, tools are actively blocked due to data security concerns or regulatory ambiguity. That caution isn't misplaced. The EU AI Act, for example, requires any organisation operating within or doing business with the EU to ensure at least one trained individual is responsible for AI. By itself, this raises important questions in terms of accountability and strategy. This lack of ownership - as opposed to the technology itself - is where the real risk lies. There's also an emotional barrier at play. We hear it all the time: the sense that others are further ahead, and that trying to catch...

I have made a few videos about ChatGPT and other large language models In which I have sung their praises. But after using ChatGPT and other Apps like grok and Copilot, I have found that not only can they give you inaccurate and wrong information, But that also will tell you what you want to hear.
This is Alex Heath, deputy editor at The Verge. My guest today is GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke. In many ways, GitHub Copilot set off the current AI coding boom. But since Thomas was on the show a year ago, the rise of vibe coding has shifted the buzz to newer platforms like Cursor and Windsurf. As you'll hear in our conversation, Thomas is thinking a lot about the competition, and GitHub's role in the future of software development.

Slator's Head of Research Anna Wyndham joins Florian on the pod to discuss Microsoft's research paper “Working with AI: Measuring the Occupational Implications of Generative AI”, a study that stirred significant debate across social media.The paper, based on 200,000 anonymized Microsoft Copilot interactions, aims to understand what tasks people ask AI to perform and how effectively those tasks are completed. Pairing this with the US O*NET database of occupational tasks, researchers created an "AI applicability score" to assess overlap between AI-capable tasks and real-world job functions.Anna emphasizes that the researchers distinguish between AI performing individual tasks and full jobs. Even the most affected roles, like interpreters and translators, show only partial overlap, around 50%, with activities AI can complete.Florian and Anna stress that the research does not claim AI will replace top-ranked occupations. Rather, it shows where AI is most often helpful, with knowledge-based activities like writing, summarizing, and gathering information topping the list. The Microsoft researchers also acknowledge key limitations. For example, jobs are more than bundles of disconnected tasks; they involve context, judgment, and synthesis, often referred to as the "glue" that AI lacks. Additionally, Anna points out that Copilot's integration into tools used by knowledge workers may bias the results in its favor.Ultimately, the duo agree the paper validates what's already known: AI is helpful for language-related tasks, but not transformational enough yet to supplant the people who perform them.
We're living through boom-times for Artificial Intelligence, with more and more of us using AI assistants like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Grok and Copilot to do basic research and writing tasks. But what is the environmental impact of these technologies? Many listeners have got in touch with More or Less to ask us to investigate various claims about the energy and water use of AI.One claim in particular has caught your attention - the idea that the equivalent of a small bottle of drinking water is consumed by computer processors every time you ask an AI a question, or get it to write a simple email. So, where does that claim come from, and is it true?Reporter: Paul Connolly Producer: Tom Colls Production co-ordinator: Brenda Brown Sound mix: Donald McDonald Editor: Richard Vadon

What can the financial services sector teach us about adopting Copilot in our organizations? Richard chats with Christina Wheeler about her work at Microsoft, where she helps companies leverage large language model technologies. Christina discusses data security, which is crucial in the financial services industry due to its numerous regulations. The data security mindset of using tools like Purview and Data Loss Prevention helps to carve out data sets that can be used with Copilot. The conversation also turns to the Power Platform arena and Dataverse, tools that make it easy to embrace Copilot. There's a progression of security and capability, from internal apps to assisting staff with online work, to ultimately providing a means for customers to interact with a Copilot. There's a lot to learn, but the tools are there to make it possible!LinksMicrosoft PurviewPower Platform Data Loss PreventionPower Virtual AgentsMicrosoft DataverseCopilot StudioAzure AI FoundryRecorded July 7, 2025

Can smart glasses help you play poker? Does AI give blind users superpowers? And what really happens when a guide dog retires? Steven and Shaun dig deep into the inbox to explore listener stories, smart tech, brain science, and blind pride—plus some laughs along the way.This episode of Double Tap opens with caffeine-fueled chaos and rolls into a lively, insightful discussion based entirely on listener emails. Dean from New Zealand kicks things off with high praise for the WeWALK Smart Cane and a surprising nod to Shaun's tip about using Copilot on mobile. The hosts then unpack the latest updates to the cane's obstacle detection and battery life, teasing a full review coming soon.Shaun explains why he prefers the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses over Envision despite Meta AI's limitations—hint: it's all about video calling and interface. Steven agrees, but raises concerns about battery life and the lack of display real estate. They also touch on upcoming AI-powered features like CoBrowse AI and agentic AIs, and the growing appeal (and privacy implications) of wearables.Listener Craig shares his emotional experience of retiring his guide dog Merlin, prompting a deep discussion about the lack of control blind users have in that process. Steven also opens up about his own hesitations around getting a guide dog, from access refusals to society's challenges.Amy writes in with thoughtful reflections on sensory substitution—especially the growing research around brain plasticity in blind people—and shares a story about resisting pressure to wear glasses as a child. This sparks a nuanced conversation about disability identity, assumptions from sighted people, and whether blind people really do develop “super senses.”Paul, a blind social worker, emails about using smart glasses to play cards or access online casinos. Steven and Shaun discuss current limitations, suggest tactile braille cards, and speculate about the future of AI-powered agents for gaming and kiosk access.The episode wraps with praise for Richer Sounds and a broader chat about how experiential retail could revive the high street—and why Amazon might ironically be leading the way.Chapters00:00 - Introduction02:44 - Listener Dean talks about the WeWalk smart cane and praises Shaun!16:06 - Listener Craig talks about retirement of his guide dog, Merlin29:37 - Get in touch with Double Tap30:01 - Listener Amy on blindness and better hearing44:36 - Listener Ian joins in on the praise of UK chain store Richer Sounds48:53 - Listener Paul on smart glasses and accessible gambling Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website---Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedin Subscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheart About Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

Everything's coming up Trump so far, but there are many unsettled questions around whether the president can achieve the broader goal of resetting the terms of global trade in America's favor without significant domestic pain. A new proposal has emerged on Capitol Hill that may remind you about the COVID-19 stimulus checks from a few years ago. This time, it is rooted in the significant revenue generated by President Donald Trump's tariffs rather than a global health emergency. The Microsoft research team focused on understanding how generative AI—like Copilot and ChatGPT—is being used across different job roles. Instead of predicting job loss or automation, the study measured something called “AI applicability”: how often workers use chatbots, how successful those interactions are, and whether the technology helps accomplish real work tasks.
The MacVoices Live! panel reflects on the G4 Cube's design legacy, discusses Apple's approach to AI privacy, and reviews ChatGPT's new meeting transcription feature, which outpaces Microsoft Copilot in downloads. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Web Bixby, Mary Jencius, and Eric Bolden debate the value of on-device AI versus cloud services, examine DuckDuckGo's AI image filter, and weigh the benefits and risks of AI-generated media in an era of deepfakes and data privacy concerns.

Microsoft Edge is the default web browser and PDF reader in Windows 11, and a modern and capable successor to the Internet Explorer browser of yesteryear. It's built on the same Chromium web platform that Google uses for Chrome, and it integrates more deeply with Windows and Microsoft online services–most notably Copilot–than other browsers. But Microsoft Edge is also a vector for some of the worst behaviors in Windows 11. For this reason, it's important to configure Microsoft Edge correctly, whether you expect to use it regularly or not.

Ten years ago yesterday, Microsoft released Windows 10, fixing the issues with Windows 8.x and giving Windows 7 users a solid upgrade. One historical curiosity: It was the first Windows release without a major launch event. In other news, Microsoft publishes a Nadella email to the troops about the layoffs, but he never really addresses the layoffs.Windows 10 turns 10 The Bad: Its legacy is mixed, as this is when the enshittification of Windows began, really Windows as a Service Ads, crapware, and telemetry — plus some made-up privacy issues Terry Myerson gaff about one billion users Universal apps/One Windows was a bust, with Windows Phone and HoloLens failures Windows 10's launch was a missed opportunity to make the Store matter The Good: Windows Subsystem for Linux was huge WinGet was also huge, but is underappreciated and underutilized to this day It did reverse the mistakes of Windows 8, and in time it got more stable as Microsoft figured out WaaS (and then went on to abuse it) Oh, and the Windows 10 Field Guide is free to celebrate the anniversary Windows 11 Microsoft is using Rust for Surface drivers, and it wants all Windows drivers to switch to Rust too The Link to Windows app is getting a nice upgrade on Android Dev (25H2) and Beta (24H2): Settings agent for x86, SCOOBE changes, Click to Do improvements, Windows Search improvements Canary: Just a couple of bug fixes (Actually, two builds, one today also with no features) Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and Media Encoder are Now Native on Windows 11 on Arm in beta Opera files antitrust case against Microsoft in Brazil for Windows 11/Edge behaviors Another app blocking Recall in a slow-drop of negative Recall-related AI privacy news for Microsoft. Rant: More importantly, Recall is boring and not useful given the hype around it. Intel earnings are flat, but more layoffs are on the way Lenovo rollable laptop in action! (ThinkBook Plus Gen 6) Lenovo makes a lot of weird laptops now (like the dual-screen Yoga Book 9i Paul reviewed last year) — apparently they didn't get the message after Microsoft cancelled the Surface Neo and Windows 10X. Does the average modern Windows laptop really need a touchscreen? Is this a relic of the Windows 8 era? AI & Microsoft 365 Perplexity Comet is real and it shows the way forward for AI web browsers Coincidentally, Microsoft suddenly launches Copilot mode for Microsoft Edge. (But I've played with Copilot Mode, and it's no Comet or Dia.) Copilot is getting real-time expressions. It's the return of Clippy! Microsoft's long-term Copilot plans are a lot wilder than you might expect Google earned $96.4 billion in one quarter.
