Adopting AI: How to maximise the benefits and minimise the risks
The benefits of AI are compelling - few business leaders want to miss out on the cost savings, productivity gains, new products and new revenues that AI promises.
BUT examples of major financial loss and reputational damage are abundant
Adopting AI is risky. Hundreds of examples tell us so, from McKinsey’s hacked chatbot exposing thousands of confidential files, to Starbucks’ AI inventory and scheduling system disaster, to Zillow’s $500m loss on AI-traded properties.
AI is not a technology you can simply blanket over your organisation and hope that productivity gains will follow. It isn’t just ChatGPT or Claude. And it isn’t just a recipe for replacing people.
So what is AI, really? And what should you do?
AI, in all its forms, is a transformational technology. When applied correctly and safely, it can speed up processes, automate whole workflows, radically improve productivity, and power new services.
But which processes? What services? Where can productivity be boosted?
Bathwick’s sister company Arcadia IQ can create a highly detailed plan to transform your organisation for AI, in a matter of weeks - right down to the level of individual tasks. Click below to find out more.

Ep1 : Shoshana Cox
AI cybersecurity is critically different
Cybersecurity: Can you secure your AI systems?
Learn from AI cybersecurity expert Shoshana Cox why AI security is fundamentally different from traditional systems, why it’s difficult to do, and why most AI security solutions and consultancy sold today is worthless.
Shoshana is a mathematician, engineer, and former hacker working in AI cybersecurity in the national security sphere. She has written pioneering papers laying out why AI systems are so difficult to secure (her mathematical proof was recently confirmed by NIST in the US) and was part of the team that wrote the EU AI Act’s technical standards. She is a strong believer in AI and a fierce critic of companies selling security services which deliver no value!
