    Vibecoding Meets Regulation

    Last week we explored vibecoding and how AI is making it possible to build software faster and cheaper than ever before.This week we look at what happens after you've built it.Many businesses assume AI regulation only applies to large technology companies selling AI products but the reality is more complicated.Under the EU AI Act, an organisation can become a provider of an AI system even when that system is built for internal use and never sold to anyone.That means the AI tool your business created could carry obligations your business didn't expect.In this episode of Glitchd, we break down the difference between providers and deployers, explains how organisations can unintentionally become providers, and explore the situations where a simple internal AI tool can trigger significant regulatory responsibilities.From high-risk AI systems and provider obligations to governance, accountability and compliance, this episode focuses on one of the most misunderstood aspects of the EU AI Act.https://skspsl.com/

    When AI Gets It Wrong... Who's Left To Blame?

    In episode 5 of Glitchd, we get into the accountability problem that most businesses aren't taking seriously... Who carries the liability when AI output causes harm — the vendor, the business that deployed it, the person who used it? What does "human oversight" really mean in practice vs what it looks like on paper? And what have you agreed to in the terms and conditions of the AI tools you're already using?This one is for the well established business, startup founder, the corporate team, the freelancer, and the student because this is already playing out across every industry and every level.New episode every Tuesday.Want to understand what AI means for your business legally and strategically?

    AI Didn't Discriminate. It Just Learned From People Who Did.

    Your AI tool isn't neutral. It never was because it was trained on decades of human decisions, hiring patterns, lending records, medical research made within systems that weren't fair to begin with. Now those decisions are being automated at scale. A job application is rejected before a human sees it. A loan is declined due to a postcode. A patient is deprioritised by data that wasn't built around them.This episode breaks down how AI inherits bias, why most businesses don't know it's happening, and what to do about it.We cover:— Why bias is a data problem, not a tech problem— The Amazon tool that penalised women's CVs without anyone programming it to— What the EU AI Act requires from your business right now— 5 practical steps to build AI systems you can trust— Why critical AI literacy is paramount for all employeesThis one is for the business leader, the professional, the student, and anyone whose life has already been shaped by a decision an algorithm made.New episode every Tuesday.Working with AI in your business and want to get the governance right?

    AI Washing: How to Spot a Company That's Absolutely Lying to You About AI

    AI washing is everywhere. Every company is "AI-powered." Every strategy is "responsible and ethical." Every product is "leveraging cutting-edge solutions." But what does any of that mean?In this episode, we break down the art of corporate AI nonsense... how to spot it, why it matters legally, and what real AI accountability actually looks like versus what it says in the press release. With a checklist you can use immediately and zero tolerance for vague answers, this one is equal parts entertaining and essential.Whether you're inside an organisation wondering if your AI narrative has outpaced your AI reality, or on the outside trying to assess whether a company's claims hold up, this episode is for you.https://skspsl.com/

    No AI Strategy Is Still A Strategy... Just The Worst Strategy

    In this episode of Glitchd, I ask a simple but crucial question: is doing nothing with AI really an option? I dive into why having no AI strategy might be the biggest risk, and how taking action now could change everything. Join me as I unpack what the next steps need to be.https://skspsl.com/

    The Arms Race You're Not Supposed to Notice

    The biggest AI story right now isn’t ChatGPT.It’s the hundreds of billions being poured into infrastructure and how this is quietly dictating which tools your company uses, where your data goes, and who actually controls it.In this episode, we unpack the commercial and legal reality behind AI adoption  from Copilot to “shadow AI” and why most organisations are moving faster than their governance frameworks can handle.https://skspsl.com/
