AI will transform the world of work

 AI will transform the world of work in many ways.

Some of the possible impacts are:


  • AI will automate many tasks that are currently done by humans, such as data entry, customer service, accounting, and more. This will increase productivity, efficiency, and accuracy, but also create challenges for workers who need to reskill or find new jobs.
  • AI will augment human capabilities and enable new forms of collaboration, creativity, and innovation. For example, AI can help workers analyse complex data, generate insights, make decisions, and communicate effectively. AI can also enhance human creativity by providing inspiration, feedback, and suggestions.
  • AI will create new jobs and industries that do not exist today, such as AI engineers, data scientists, ethicists, and trainers. These jobs will require new skills and competencies, such as programming, data literacy, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.
  • AI will change the nature and structure of work, such as the way work is organised, distributed, rewarded, and evaluated. For example, AI can enable more flexible and remote work arrangements, such as freelancing, gig work, and crowdsourcing. AI can also enable more personalised and adaptive learning and development opportunities for workers.


AI will transform the world of work in profound and unprecedented ways. Therefore, it is important for workers, employers, educators, policymakers, and society at large to prepare for the opportunities and challenges that AI will bring.

The Whispers in the Machine: Why Prompt Injection Remains a Persistent Threat to LLMs

 Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming how we interact with technology, offering incredible potential for tasks ranging from content creation to complex analysis. However, as these powerful tools become more integrated into our lives, so too do the novel security challenges they present. Among these, prompt injection attacks stand out as a particularly persistent and evolving threat. These attacks, as one recent paper (Safety at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey of Large Model Safety https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05206) highlights, involve subtly manipulating LLMs to deviate from their intended purpose, and the methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. At its core, a prompt injection attack involves embedding a malicious instruction within an otherwise normal request, tricking the LLM into producing unintended – and potentially harmful – outputs. Think of it as slipping a secret, contradictory instruction into a seemingly harmless conversation. What makes prompt inj...

AI Agents and the Latest Silicon Valley Hype

In what appears to be yet another grandiose proclamation from the tech industry, Google has released a whitepaper extolling the virtues of what they're calling "Generative AI agents". (https://www.aibase.com/news/14498) Whilst the basic premise—distinguishing between AI models and agents—holds water, one must approach these sweeping claims with considerable caution. Let's begin with the fundamentals. Yes, AI models like Large Language Models do indeed process information and generate outputs. That much isn't controversial. However, the leap from these essentially sophisticated pattern-matching systems to autonomous "agents" requires rather more scrutiny than the tech evangelists would have us believe. The whitepaper's architectural approaches—with their rather grandiose names like "ReAct" and "Tree of Thought"—sound remarkably like repackaged versions of long-standing computer science concepts, dressed up in fashionable AI clot...
