The UK technology leadership market has splintered into CTOs, OCTOs, vCTOs, fractionals and Technology NEDs. A guide to what each role really involves, why the market created them, and how to choose between them, whether you're hiring one or aiming to become one.
Leaders are reasoning about AI as if it were one thing. Generalist productivity tools and specialist agentic tools are different conversations, and the frontier-vs-standard model gap is where most adoption plans quietly break.
As coding agents take on more engineering work, model reliability and pricing quietly become delivery risks. This post covers the operational gaps most teams haven't addressed yet.
The UK's NCSC says AI-generated software and vibe coding are inevitable, so security leaders should focus on guardrails and assurance now instead of pretending adoption can be stopped.
A deep dive into the latest Boston Dynamics Atlas demo powered by reinforcement learning – covering its RL architecture, physics simulation, zero-shot sim-to-real transfer, human motion retargeting, and the massive scale (150M+ simulations) behind it. Includes parallels to generative AI and leadership takeaways on fostering innovation, simulation investment, AI-based control, and the future of work with robotics.
