AI is not just a technological shift; it is a societal one.
AI adoption is accelerating - but mostly happening reactively, outside organisational planning or governance. That creates risks, because the way we adapt to AI today will lock in the habits of tomorrow.

The rise of conversational AI has created a giant real-world experiment in human-machine relationships.
For the first time, we are not just using AI as a tool; we are interacting with it, confiding in it, and being influenced by it in ways we are only beginning to understand.

Most generative AI models are skilled fast thinkers – but they also inherit some of the same biases as human intuition.
For AI to advance, developers need to design systems that reliably choose when to think fast or think slow - adapting their approach to the task at hand.

Why do people choose to use or resist AI?
The first chapter in our new four-part framework - AI & human behaviour - looks at what drives or holds back AI adoption, and how leaders can encourage deep integration of AI that complements and enhances human work.

📱 Why does 'just 5 mins' on social media turn into an hour?
Our behavioural audit for @ofcom.bsky.social found major platforms use design to maximise engagement—often at the cost of user well-being.
Here’s how better design could support healthier, more intentional online habits 👇 bit.ly/4kKu3rL
