Preparing Organisations for More Capable AI

Practical steps organisations can take now to benefit from — and be resilient to — rapidly improving AI.

Editorial team 1 min read

Whether or not AGI arrives soon, AI capabilities are improving quickly. Organisations can prepare without betting on a specific future.

Build AI Literacy

Help staff at every level understand what current AI can and can't do, through training and hands-on use.

Invest in Foundations

  • Clean, well-governed, accessible data.
  • Clear processes that can be redesigned around AI.
  • Secure infrastructure and identity management for AI tools and agents.

Experiment Continuously

Pilot new capabilities as they appear, with evaluation to measure real value.

Strengthen Governance

Policies for acceptable use, risk assessment, human oversight and incident response, updated as capabilities grow.

Plan Scenarios

Consider how your industry, products and workforce would change under different rates of AI progress. Identify moves that make sense across scenarios.

Workforce Strategy

Reskill staff, redesign roles and communicate openly about change.

Security

More capable AI increases both defensive tools and attacker capabilities. Invest in security accordingly.
