Khai mạc Tuần lễ Công nghệ Luân Đôn (London Tech Week 09-13/06/2025), thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer tuyên bố mở ra một chương mới, trong đó trí tuệ nhân tạo là trọng tâm, cho ngành công nghệ cao của Vương quốc Anh. Chính phủ công bố bản tổng dự toán chi tiêu công quốc gia giai đoạn 2025-2030, với con số khổng lồ là 86 tỷ bảng Anh (116 tỷ đô la) dành cho các ngành công nghệ cao, giáo dục và trí tuệ nhân tạo AI. Vậy tham vọng của Luân Đôn là gì và cơ hội nào để Anh Quốc trở thành cường quốc về ‘trí tuệ nhân tạo'? Tường thuật của thông tín viên tại Luân Đôn Nguyễn Giang.  Nguyễn Giang : Trước tiên xin giải thích rõ hơn về các con số lớn mà chính phủ Anh đưa ra để đầu tư vào phát triển công nghệ cao, gọi chung là R&D (Research & Development – Nghiên cứu và Phát triển sản phẩm mới). Khoản chi của ngân sách hàng năm từ nay đến năm 2029-2030 là 22,6 tỷ bảng, và đến cuối nhiệm kỳ Quốc Hội này, tổng mức sẽ là 86 tỷ bảng Anh, tương đương 116 tỷ đô la Mỹ. Trong các lĩnh vực, ưu tiên hàng đầu là nghiên cứu và phát triển các cơ sở trí tuệ nhân tạo (Artificial Intelligence – AI) để ứng dụng ngay vào giáo dục, đào tạo nguồn nhân lực, công nghệ tài chính (fintech). Ngoài ra, AI cũng sẽ được đưa vào như một giải pháp công nghệ nhằm giảm chi phí dài hạn cho y tế, quốc phòng và an ninh biên giới. Tôi sẽ nói rõ hơn về các ngành kỹ thuật, bộ môn khoa học, công nghệ nhận được khoản đầu tư lớn sau, nhưng tổng thể thì thông điệp của chính phủ Starmer là muốn tạo ra sự thay đổi cả về lượng và chất để đưa Anh trở thành một cường quốc hàng đầu trong cạnh tranh quốc tế về công nghệ cao và AI. RFI: Cụ thể hơn, Anh Quốc muốn chi tiền vào lĩnh vực nào và đặt ra các mục tiêu cụ thể ra sao? Nguyễn Giang : Về giáo dục, riêng khoản tiền dành cho ứng dụng AI trong giảng dạy và đào tạo nhân công có khả năng sử dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo là 2 tỷ bảng mỗi năm. Anh muốn thúc đẩy dự án AI trong giáo dục từ trung học tới đại học và sau đại học nhằm huấn luyện kỹ năng AI cho hơn 7 triệu nhân công (được hiểu là thế hệ trẻ) và đào tạo 1 triệu kỹ sư chuyên về AI trong 5 năm tới. Ngân sách dành cho y tế công (National Health Service – NHS) là 10 tỷ bảng để hiện đại hóa công nghệ và chuyển đổi sang công nghệ kỹ thuật số từ nay đến 2028-2029. Xin nhắc lại, ngân sách y tế công hiện đã là 29 tỷ bảng, nên khoản đầu tư thêm vào công nghệ cao cho y tế là rất lớn. Luân Đôn cũng sẽ hỗ trợ các công ty khởi nghiệp bằng cách điều chỉnh quy định tài chính để các ngân hàng thử nghiệm AI trong lĩnh vực fintech. Một số ngân hàng như HSBC đã sử dụng AI từ lâu, nhưng tổng thể thì thị trường fintech của Anh đã trở thành một lĩnh vực rất lớn, với hàng nghìn công ty, thu hút hàng tỷ đô la đầu tư, chủ yếu phục vụ doanh nghiệp và thương mại quốc tế, hơn là phục vụ người dân. Chính phủ muốn số hóa dịch vụ khách hàng, triển khai mạnh các ứng dụng ngân hàng (in-bank app) thay thế dịch vụ truyền thống dùng giấy tờ và thư bưu điện. Điều đáng chú ý là chính phủ Anh nói họ sẽ đầu tư vào AI để giải quyết nhanh hơn các hồ sơ xin tỵ nạn, tăng tốc thủ tục trục xuất người trượt tị nạn. Bộ trưởng Tài Chính Rachel Reeves cho biết, chỉ riêng việc nâng cao hiệu quả xử lý giấy tờ cư trú, tị nạn sẽ giúp tiết kiệm ngân sách khoảng 1 tỷ bảng khi chương trình này hoàn tất. Gần 300 triệu bảng cũng sẽ được đầu tư vào Bộ Tư lệnh An Ninh Biên Giới (thành lập năm 2024) và các đơn vị biên phòng của Anh sẽ sử dụng AI để nâng cao hiệu quả trong việc ngăn chặn người nhập cư trái phép. Thêm vào đó, Anh Quốc cũng sẽ tiến hành nghiên cứu chế tạo vũ khí sử dụng AI nhằm đảm bảo an ninh quốc gia và an ninh châu Âu. RFI : Để thực hiện các mục tiêu này, chính phủ Anh sẽ phải làm gì? Chiến lược của họ là gì? Nguyễn Giang : Chiến lược của Anh là “dựa trên vai của những người khổng lồ”. Trong Tuần lễ Công nghệ Luân Đôn, đã có hàng trăm công ty tham dự, gồm các tập đoàn công nghệ hàng đầu thế giới như Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud và NVIDIA. Ngay trong buổi khai mạc, thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer đã đứng cạnh ông Jensen Huang (Hoàng Nhân Huân), tỷ phú Mỹ gốc Đài Loan, chủ hãng Nvidia. Ông Jensen Huang khen Anh có “hệ sinh thái tuyệt vời cho công nghệ trí tuệ nhân tạo”, nhưng còn thiếu cơ sở hạ tầng. Cụ thể, ông Jensen Huang cho biết Anh có các trường đại học hàng đầu thế giới, các nhà sáng chế, các nhà tư tưởng, và các công ty startup trong môi trường lý tưởng, nhưng thiếu một thứ quan trọng nhất là cơ sở hạ tầng cho AI. Ông cam kết sẽ đầu tư vào lĩnh vực này tại Anh, nhằm đáp ứng sự đón nhận tích cực từ công chúng dự hội nghị London Tech Week. Ngay lập tức, Anh Quốc sẽ dùng 10 nghìn GPU (xử lý đồ họa) của Nvidia để xây dựng một trung tâm dữ liệu lớn, phục vụ hạ tầng AI tại Loughton, Essex, phía Đông Luân Đôn. Tuy nhiên, cách làm của Anh không dựa vào một hoặc hai công ty lớn, mà phân chia thị phần cho nhiều doanh nghiệp của Mỹ, Hà Lan, và các quốc gia khác tham gia. Ví dụ, Vantage Data Centres sẽ xây dựng một trung tâm dữ liệu tại xứ Wales; Latos Data Centres của tỷ phú người Anh Mike Carlin cũng sẽ xây dựng trung tâm ở Wales; tập đoàn Kyndryl thành lập trung tâm tại Liverpool; trong khi Nscale (dùng GPU của Nvidia) sẽ đầu tư 2,5 tỷ USD để phát triển mạng lưới dữ liệu toàn quốc. Tham vọng của Anh là đến năm 2030, sẽ có tới 40 trung tâm dữ liệu chuyên về AI trên khắp đất nước. RFI: Vì sao chính phủ của đảng Lao Động muốn thúc đẩy số hóa và áp dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo vào thời điểm này? Nguyễn Giang : Ở đây chúng ta cần nhìn bức tranh toàn cảnh quốc tế, gồm mối quan hệ Anh – Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Anh – Hoa Kỳ sau Brexit. Ngoài lý do rõ ràng là AI ngày càng đóng vai trò then chốt trong nền kinh tế và giáo dục, còn có hai vấn đề lớn đặt ra thách thức cho Anh. Một, là thiếu hệ sinh thái hạ tầng tốt cho R&D. Nhiều nhà khoa học Anh đã từng đoạt giải Nobel, sở hữu các phát minh, sáng chế hàng đầu thế giới trong di truyền học, y sinh, điện toán, nhưng thiếu hệ sinh thái để biến các ý tưởng, bằng sáng chế thành sản phẩm thương mại. Nhiều nhà khoa học này buộc phải sang Mỹ, hoặc hợp tác với các đại học, tập đoàn công nghệ của Mỹ để phát triển sản phẩm. Chính sách của Anh nhằm xây dựng các trung tâm công nghệ như Hành lang Oxford-Cambridge nhằm kết nối các đại học danh tiếng, tạo ra sức mạnh về nghiên cứu và đổi mới sáng tạo (critical mass). Trước đó, ngành xe hơi chạy động cơ điện (EV) cũng cần hạ tầng số, vệ tinh dân sự, AI, nhưng tới nay, Anh mới bắt đầu thử nghiệm xe tự lái và dự kiến đến 2027 mới chính thức cho xe tự lái hoạt động trên đường. Hai, là yếu tố địa chính trị. Tháng 2/2025, Pháp khai mạc Hội nghị về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo (AI Summit) và cam kết đầu tư hơn 100 tỷ euro vào AI, mong muốn dẫn đầu khối Liên Âu trong lĩnh vực này. Bruxelles còn hứa sẽ chi 200 tỷ euro cho AI. Trong khi đó, Hoa Kỳ dưới thời Donald Trump muốn bỏ ra hơn 500 tỷ đô la để dẫn đầu cuộc đua AI. Tuy nhiên, cả Anh và Mỹ đều từ chối ký Tuyên bố chung Paris về AI tại Paris vài tháng trước. Như vậy, Luân Đôn đã chọn hướng đi riêng, muốn có chủ quyền về AI (AI sovereignty) và không muốn bị Châu Âu kiểm soát chặt chẽ. Tổng thể, Anh mong muốn có một vị trí vững chắc trong lĩnh vực đổi mới sáng tạo AI toàn cầu – của Mỹ, Trung Quốc và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Để đạt được điều đó, Anh Quốc sẽ kết nối với Hoa Kỳ qua các hệ thống cáp dưới biển, tăng cường khả năng tính toán của các trung tâm dữ liệu và mở rộng hợp tác quốc tế trong lĩnh vực AI và công nghệ cao. Trong bức tranh lớn, các ngành công nghệ của Vương quốc Anh đã đạt giá trị thị trường tổng hợp lên tới 1,2 nghìn tỷ đô la vào năm 2025, đứng vị trí số một trong hệ sinh thái công nghệ châu Âu. Tuy nhiên, nếu không tăng cường đầu tư, Anh Quốc sẽ gặp khó khăn cạnh tranh với các quốc gia như Pháp, Đức, Hà Lan, các nước châu Á và Mỹ, Trung Quốc. Năm 2023, Anh đã tổ chức Hội nghị về quản trị toàn cầu của AI tại Bletchley (tham khảo Bletchley Declaration on Frontier AI and AI Governance), nhấn mạnh nhu cầu quản lý, xây dựng khung pháp lý để giảm thiểu các rủi ro do công nghệ AI gây ra. Hiện nay, thái độ của chính giới Luân Đôn đã hướng tới đổi mới, sẵn sàng chấp nhận rủi ro để thúc đẩy sự phát triển của các sản phẩm, kinh tế và tăng trưởng. AI đang được xem là điểm mấu chốt để tạo đà phát triển cho kinh tế Anh trong những năm tới. Khả năng thành công của chiến lược này còn phụ thuộc vào thực tế và còn phải chờ xem.

"Organizations are eager to adopt AI — but 71% of leaders say their workforce isn't ready." — Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader, Network and Edge, Kyndryl At Cisco Live 2025 in San Diego, Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader for Network and Edge at Kyndryl, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to spotlight a critical — and often overlooked — component of AI transformation: people readiness. While 95% of enterprise leaders say they're using AI, Kyndryl's latest People Readiness Report reveals a stark disconnect: 71% of those same leaders believe their workforce is not prepared to make full use of the technology. As the world's largest IT managed services provider, Kyndryl supports global enterprises with full-stack IT solutions — and people remain at the heart of that mission. “Our 80,000 engineers and technicians are on the front lines of IT transformation,” said Savill. “Understanding how ready they are — and helping them become more ready — is essential.” The report, based on a global survey of CIOs, CTOs, and CEOs, also uncovered tension at the executive level: 43% of CEOs said external hiring is the top strategy for bridging AI skills gaps. But only 16% of CIOs/CTOs agree, instead prioritizing internal reskilling. According to Savill, this internal approach includes developing cross-functional expertise, especially as networking, security, and cloud operations rapidly converge. “We're merging roles, job descriptions, and even operational centers,” he noted. “Networking professionals need to understand security. Security teams need to understand cloud.” Savill also emphasized the importance of breaking down silos to prevent cloud misconfigurations — a leading cause of security breaches. “Misconfigurations often stem from a lack of collaboration across teams. Training people to work across domains is critical.” Kyndryl's work with Cisco, particularly in data center networking and edge services, now extends into AI and even quantum computing readiness. These next-gen technologies, Savill warned, require not just platform adoption but deep workforce transformation to be deployed securely and effectively. As AI adoption accelerates, data quality becomes the cornerstone of success. “You can't train an effective AI with bad data,” said Savill. “Foundational work around data integrity, structure, and governance is as important as the AI tools themselves.” The podcast concluded with a reflection on AI anxiety in the workplace — and a message of optimism. “There are legitimate concerns about job displacement,” Savill acknowledged. “But our research shows that most technical leaders want to reskill their existing teams. And when companies invest in their people, the results will be extraordinary.” For more information, visit kyndryl.com.

In this episode of The Elusive Consumer, host Ellie Tehrani sits down with Ilyas Iyoob, Head of Global Research at Kyndryl, to explore how enterprise leaders can master the delicate balance between AI automation and human expertise in mission-critical environments. From implementing AI in the world's largest IT services infrastructure to understanding when automation enhances versus undermines customer experience, Ilyas shares insights on strategic AI deployment that treats technology as a "rookie with speed and precision" rather than a replacement for human judgment, revealing how organizations can leverage AI's capabilities while preserving the irreplaceable value of human insight and domain expertise.

Please join me by signing up for the Transition Area early shift. It's a dang early morning, but you are also done relatively early and will have a blast! https://ironman.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=88391&job_name=transition%20t1   Get Gritty Tip: Our Well-being Lies in Our Actions Marcus Aurelius If your happiness relies on your accomplishments, what happens if fate intervenes you don't? What you do achieve everything you set out to achieve and nobody is impressed? We should take pleasure from our actions, rather from the results that come from them. When we celebrated Paul Hunziker's success and his marathon PR, we weren't focused on the outcome. Yes that was the PR was the click bait, but the interview there were more letters and words in “The Making of a” PR. The making is the point. The ambition should not be to win but to play with a full heartful effort.  TriDot Workout of the Week: Broken 300's   Welcome back to another segment of the TriDot Workout of the Week, where we break down a featured session designed to sharpen your edge and build specific skills that move the needle. This week, we're diving into the Broken 300's — a swim session that's as much about mental focus as it is about physical execution. “Broken” sets like this one force you to stay dialed in. You're not just logging meters — you're working precision, intensity control, and technique under fatigue. From Zone 4 intervals to strategic drill work and controlled builds, this set challenges your ability to switch gears, stay intentional, and swim with purpose from start to finish. So grab your goggles, shake off the autopilot, and let's break down what makes this workout so effective. First, "Broken" swim sets consist of one or more rounds of efforts totaling a specific distance such as Broken 300s. Each 300 effort may differ in intensity, technique, and/or number of rests within the effort. In addition to building fitness, these sets force you to maintain mental focus and be intentional with your intensity and technique. Main Set 2 x 150 @ Z4 (20 sec) 300 @ Z2 (20 sec) 2 x 100 Drill/Swim Choice by 50 (20 sec) 3 x 100 @ Z4 (20 sec) 300 Build to Z4 (20 sec) 2 x 100 Drill/Swim Choice by 50 (20 sec) 4 x 75 @ Z4 (20 sec) 300 @ Z2     Cool Down Balance of time @ Z2 and/or repeat warmup drills as time permits. That wraps up this week's TriDot Workout of the Week. Remember, Broken 300's are more than just a swim set — they're a test of your ability to stay present, stay sharp, and push through structured discomfort. As always, don't just get through the workout — get something from it. Train with purpose, and bring that focus to your next race or challenge. Okay Rich, it's now time for our NEW fun segment! Are you ready? Fun Segment: Limerick Lane! Welcome to Limerick Lane: Guess That Swim Word! — the game where I drop a swim-themed limerick with one key word missing, and it's up to you to guess what it is. These little rhymes may be fun-sized, but don't let them fool you — your swim knowledge and wit are about to be tested!     Game Instructions: Each limerick ends with a missing word that you have to guess. I will give one hint if you're stumped. Correct guesses earn you bragging rights… and maybe a virtual gold swim cap (or green)!   A triathlete swam in the bay, But panicked and lost his way. He stopped mid-course, And swam back with force, Using only his arms — no _____. Hint: What does a pull buoy do?   A coach with a stopwatch so fine, Shouted “Faster! You've got to make time!” With flip turns that stick, You'd better be quick, If you want to improve your next _____. Hint: Swim time.   A swimmer once started aghast, But found that her energy had passed. By lap number four, She could sprint no more, She'd fallen prey to going out _____. Hint: Classic pacing mistake.   He dove in with barely a glance, Ignoring the circle swim dance. He zigged and he zagged, The swimmers all nagged, And never gave sharing a _____. Hint: Good swimmers take turns in the lane!   Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed, and enjoy the endurance journey!

In today's hyper-connected world, the explosion of IoT devices is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape—but are businesses keeping up? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader of Networking and Edge Compute at Kyndryl, to explore why traditional IT security strategies are no longer enough. With IoT-related cyberattacks rising at double-digit rates year over year and the global number of IoT devices projected to reach 25.4 billion by 2030, enterprises face mounting challenges in securing their networks. Paul shares insights into the biggest threats organizations are grappling with, including the growing risks of social engineering attacks, outdated infrastructure, and the widening gap between IT and OT security. With 44% of enterprise technology now considered “out of life” and unsupported by vendors, businesses are unknowingly leaving themselves vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. We also discuss Kyndryl's cybersecurity training program, which has driven a fourfold increase in employee-reported phishing incidents—a testament to the importance of ongoing education in strengthening enterprise security. Paul highlights the crucial role of Zero Trust and SASE architectures in modern network defense, using Kyndryl's own post-IBM spin-off transformation as a case study for successfully shifting to a cloud-first, AI-driven security approach. How can organizations modernize their infrastructure to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats? What steps should enterprises take to integrate IT and OT security more effectively? And how can AI-powered security tools help businesses navigate this rapidly changing landscape? Tune in to hear Paul's expert take on building a resilient, future-ready cybersecurity strategy.

In this episode, we speak with Onofrio Pirrotta, Senior Vice President and Managing Partner at Kyndryl, about the state of IT readiness in industrial sectors. We dive into key findings from Kyndryl's 2024 Readiness Report, the role of AI and IoT in digital transformation, and strategies for overcoming barriers to scaling innovation. Onofrio shares insights on bridging IT and OT, managing cybersecurity risks, and structuring governance models to drive ROI from new technologies. Key Insights: • The Readiness Paradox: 88% of manufacturers believe their IT environments are best-in-class, yet 55% say their tools are outdated, and only 31% feel prepared for future risks. • Bridging IT and OT: Successful digital transformation requires breaking down silos between IT and operational technology teams to enable enterprise-wide adoption. • Scaling Innovation: Many industrial firms struggle to move IoT and AI pilots beyond proof-of-concept due to unclear ROI and governance challenges. A structured framework with executive sponsorship is key. • Cybersecurity & Resilience: Large enterprises face increasing regulatory and supply chain security pressures. Simplifying cybersecurity tools and adopting a zero-trust framework are top priorities. • AI-Driven Operations: AI is increasingly auto-resolving IT infrastructure issues, reducing downtime and improving efficiency. However, companies must balance innovation with data security and compliance.
