Anthropic has rolled it out to just 12 companies, such as Amazon, Microsoft, etc., under a private preview called Project Glasswing.


Is this a genuine safety concern or a clever PR play in the run-up to Anthropic's rumoured IPO? Megan draws the parallel to OpenAI's GPT-2 "too dangerous to release" moment and asks what's really changed. Andy walks through Anthropic's system card, the claims around Mythos's near-infinite context window and recursive self-correction, and why the scaling hypothesis means open source will keep catching up regardless.


From there, the conversation turns to what this actually means in practice. The team works through how the cyber offence-and-defence cycle times start to collapse when an AI is the one hunting vulnerabilities, and what happens when subtle flaws can be quietly injected into the open-source packages most companies depend on. Pinning to older versions feels like a safe move until you realise those older versions might be just as exposed to a problem with uncomfortable echoes of log4j. Megan offers a clean mental model along the way, framing AI development as a recipe with three ingredients (architecture, compute and data) that no single lab fully controls, while Andy shares why his own views on AI safety have shifted in recent weeks.

The conversation starts with the reality that many organisations are now facing.

GenAI can look impressive at the proof-of-concept stage, but once deployed at scale, challenges can quickly emerge.


From there, the discussion moves deeper into the foundations of AI systems, unpacking what sits underneath the models we use every day. Paddy introduces RISC-V, explaining how this open and extensible instruction set could play a key role in shaping the future of AI infrastructure.

We explore the major £8bn AI investment in Lanarkshire, what it means for Scotland’s technology ecosystem, and why sovereign AI is becoming a strategic priority for countries seeking resilience in an increasingly unstable global landscape.


From AI infrastructure and data centres to environmental impact and net zero commitments, we unpack the real-world implications of scaling large language models (LLMs) at speed.


We also dive into the rise of personal AI assistants and local AI agents — including the security risks highlighted by recent developments around agent-based systems. When AI tools have access to email, calendars, internal documents and CRM systems, they sit inside your security perimeter. What does that mean for business governance and responsible AI development?


Finally, we discuss enterprise LLM adoption, evaluation challenges such as “LLM as judge,” and why “move fast and break things” may not be a viable strategy when AI underpins critical infrastructure.


Key Topics:


AI investment in Lanarkshire and Scotland’s AI hub

Sovereign AI and infrastructure concentration risk

Environmental impact of AI and sustainable data centres

Personal AI assistants and local AI agents

AI security vulnerabilities and data leakage risks

Enterprise LLM deployment and governance

Responsible AI in business and regulated environments
