The UK government has declared that it will “take a ‘test and learn’ approach with spending on AI and digital to push innovation.” Staged funding, mission-driven prioritization, and outcome metrics — the civil service bringing some Silicon Valley mentality to play. In theory, I like it. In practice … hold that thought for now.

We made a call last week that Apple had created a trust issue in the UK, and possibly more widely.

We shared some classical Greek imagery in our recent blog on the UK government’s recent swathe of AI announcements. This week, I’m more inspired by Ancient Rome to say “mala tempora currunt!” Last month, Apple decided to stop offering its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature to new customers in the UK, and customers who opted […]

The last couple of weeks has been a bonanza of public-sector AI-related news in the UK. Rather than summarize it here, you can check out a blog from myself and my colleague Enza Iannopollo outlining the policy decisions, partnerships, lack of signing up to global accords, and not-so-subtle departmental name changes that UK-dot-gov has embarked […]

A commitment to trustworthy AI is paramount to keep the enthusiasm going and avoid backlash — particularly as safety takes a backseat to security.

While the world (and financial markets!) was taken by surprise by the rise of DeepSeek’s open-source model, DeepThink (R1), the Italian privacy regulator — the Garante – didn’t waste time, sending a formal request to the Chinese company to disclose information about its practices with personal data.

As has now become a Forrester Security & Risk Summit tradition, a room full of amazing women and a few brave fellas gathered last week as part of the Forrester Women’s Leadership Program to celebrate successes and solve for the many challenges that women face in this field. The theme? “To propel your career in security and risk, choose your advisers and nuggets of advice wisely.”

After more than a year of investigations, the Italian privacy regulator — il Garante per la protezione dei dati personali — issued a €15 million fine against OpenAI for violating privacy rules. Violations include lack of appropriate legal basis for collecting and processing the personal data used for training their generative AI (genAI) models, lack […]

The seasons are changing, Christmas catalogs are arriving, the clocks have shifted back an hour (in some countries) … yes, the new year is coming. While we don’t advocate for closing the books on 2024 yet (it’s only November, after all!), now is a great opportunity to consider what’s in store for next year. On […]

What do discrimination, harmful content, unexpected outcomes, and catastrophic business failure have in common? They are all potential consequences of misaligned AI. Learn how an “align by design” approach can help.

As generative AI models interact more with digital environments, their unpredictability renders traditional testing insufficient. Instead, aligning these models with corporate and customer values through technical and governance mechanisms is essential. Learn more about the "align by design" approach.

As organizations increasingly invest in genAI capabilities and consumer-facing use cases, they need to consider consumer trust. Learn how to foster trust in this CX Summit EMEA keynote preview.

Most organizations worldwide that use AI must comply with the act — and there is much to do with little time to do it. Here's what you need to know.

According to Forrester data, about one in three global organizations identify risk and governance as barriers for generative AI adoption. Those concerns are set to grow even more now that the EU AI Act is becoming a reality.

The new UK AI bill in Parliament is likely to add up to less practical impact than you might think. Find out why.

Last week was a busy one for AI policymakers — but it’s too early to say whether it's moved the AI policy needle sufficiently.

[This blog was cowritten by Luca Lo Scavo.] Forrester’s Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) measures the quality of the customer experience a brand delivers to its customers to create and sustain loyalty. In 2023, we benchmarked CX quality at nine leading Italian banking brands. CX quality in Italian banks grew just enough to match the […]

The new executive order calls for a “societywide effort” from government, the private sector, academia, and civil society to address eight AI priorities.
