Why Upskilling Fails: The Capability Gap

Tom Hewitson The AI Summit London
Tom Hewitson, Chief AI Officer at General Purpose, heads up one of the UK's leading and longest-established AI training companies.
In this interview, he shared with us why most training fails, what separates experimentation from advantage, and the specific capabilities that define an AI-ready workforce. No theory—just what works in practice.
How to build an AI capable workforce

AI at Scale in Critical Operations

We spoke to David Henstock, Head of Data Science at BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, who told us how AI is transforming crisis decision-making, cybersecurity, and national security operations.

He shares the infrastructure strategies that enable AI at scale under pressure, the ethical frameworks governing high-stakes applications, and why generative AI creates both capability and risk in defence. This is AI where precision and accountability aren't optional.

A Decade of AI: From Experiments to Execution

A decade in AI The AI Summit London
Ten years ago, AI was a boardroom buzzword. Today, it's reshaping entire industries.

In our latest report, Enterprise AI Realised: A Decade of Adoption, Scaling, and Transformation, we trace AI's evolution from experimental algorithms to business-critical infrastructure—revealing which innovations delivered real value and which burned budgets. Read about the breakthrough use cases in healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, the shift from prediction to generation, and why early adopters now hold insurmountable advantages. This isn't AI history—it's your roadmap for what comes next.
