Should we be worried about the singularity? DeepMind (Google’s AI arm) thinks so — and that’s reason enough for all of us to pay attention. In a white paper (see below), DeepMind outlines the very real risks that come with the relentless advancement of artificial intelligence. The singularity — the point where AI becomes more intelligent than us and begins to evolve independently — is no longer a sci-fi fantasy. It has always been a strategic goal. But for me, this is the real pain point: the very companies raising the alarm are also the ones racing to get there first. Google, OpenAI, Meta etc — they’re all locked in a high-stakes game to be the first to build AGI, no matter the consequences. I believe the burden of managing these risks lies squarely with those building the tech. But instead of slowing down, they’re pouring billions into accelerating its development. They’re playing both sides — sounding the warning while pressing the accelerator. Where do you stand on this? Is the singularity a threat, a breakthrough, or both? #AISafety #SingularityDebate #TechResponsibility #AGIRisks #FutureOfAI

🚀 AI Coding Tools: The New Heroes of Business Innovation What if turning a great idea into a working prototype didn’t require a dev team, six meetings, and three weeks of back-and-forth? AI coding platforms are making that possible — giving businesses the power to build, test, and tweak faster than ever before. Whether you’re a startup founder, a non-technical team member, or a seasoned developer tired of boilerplate code, these tools are changing the game. In our blog today, we unpack how AI coding tools like Lovable and others are transforming the way we approach innovation — with fewer roadblocks, more experimentation, and a lot less jargon. ✨ Plus, there's a bit of humour.

🔧 Your business isn’t a template. So why run it on one? Templates are fine—until they slow you down. Until you’re bending your workflow to fit someone else’s idea of how you should work. At Transform AI, I don’t build templates. I build tailored tools that fit your actual business, not someone else’s funnel. In today's blog, I explain why this matters more than ever in 2025—and how I help coaches, consultants, and agencies escape the template trap for good. 👇 Read the post if you’re ready to build a system that works like you do. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eA8QKaDC If you would like to understand the benefits of a tailored business portal, DM me to discuss.

Yesterday's events on the world stage confirmed to me what an unpredictable world we live in. Small business owners are being pulled in every direction — rising costs, staff shortages, changing customer habits… and let’s not even start on the tech. But here’s the truth: ignoring technology is no longer an option. From simple automation tools that save you hours each week to cost-cutting systems that keep your business lean, the right tech can mean the difference between just staying afloat and truly thriving. I’ve written a blog post breaking down why now is the time to lean in, get curious, and take small but smart steps to future-proof your business. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pace of change or unsure where to start, this one’s for you. Here is an excerpt; "Survival of the Smartest But this goes deeper than gadgets and apps. The big shift is mindset. We’re moving into an age where digital fluency will be as important as financial literacy. Those who get to grips with the basics of automation, data, and online tools will not just survive the turbulence — they’ll grow, adapt and compete in ways that seemed impossible a decade ago." 🧠 A touch of humour 🔧 No jargon or AI waffle 💡 Just practical advice for real businesses 📖 Read it here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ePpGZmWk #FutureProofBusiness #SmallBusinessStrategy #DigitalTransformation #TimeSavingTech #SmartBusinessMoves

Running a consultancy or coaching business means wearing a lot of hats—coach, strategist, admin, scheduler, and sometimes even personal support.

These aren’t off-the-shelf tools—they’re tailored to how you work and what your clients need. ✅ Smarter scheduling ✅ Automated resource sharing ✅ Secure communication ✅ Progress tracking It’s all about saving time, reducing admin, and creating a better experience for your clients (and for you). 🔗 Read the full blog to see why a personalised AI-powered portal could be the smartest move you make this year. https://lnkd.in/efpCaMkP Let me know if this resonates and if you would like to discuss the possibilities. #AIForConsultants #ClientExperience #BusinessCoachingTools #SmarterWorkflows #DigitalTransformation

What Am I Going to Achieve This Month? As a small business owner or SME manager, you probably ask yourself this question every month. It’s that mix of ambition and realism that keeps the business alive, right? We’re wired to chase the big win – the game-changing contract, the viral campaign, the overnight success. But let’s be honest: most of the real progress? It comes from the small wins. Small wins don’t always look exciting on paper. They’re not flashy or Instagrammable. But they’re the reason you’re still in business, still growing, still building. They’re the new process that saves two hours a week. The customer experience tweak that turns one-time buyers into loyal fans. The internal system that stops you pulling your hair out every Friday. This month, instead of chasing the mythical silver bullet, what if you asked a better question: 👉 Where can I improve how we do business – without spending a fortune? That’s where things start to get interesting. Especially when we talk about AI. AI isn’t just for tech giants with five-figure innovation budgets. It’s for you. The local business. The independent consultant. The family-run operation. The lean, mean SME team. You can use it to: ◎ Automatically respond to customer enquiries while you're sleeping Sort and prioritise leads without lifting a finger ◎ Analyse feedback to spot exactly where your service can be improved ◎ Build tailored client portals or dashboards that make you look 10x bigger than you are None of this requires a massive investment. But the return? That can be massive. So this month, have that conversation – with your team, your co-founder, or just over coffee with yourself: What’s not working? What could work better? What would “next level” look like… if it was possible? Because chances are, it is possible now. #SmallBusinessGrowth #AIForBusiness #ProcessImprovement #DigitalTransformation #TheArtOfPossible Let’s talk about it. Message me, or email me at Dwayne@transformai.co.uk, and let’s explore what’s actually possible for your business – this month.

🫤 Are generic chatbots diluting your brand's identity? Today, we have increasingly automated customer interactions. So, businesses must ensure their AI agents & chatbots develop distinct personalities aligned with their brand values. This isn't just about technology—it's about creating genuine, human-like connections at scale. The danger with mass AI adoption is that everything will eventually sound the same and become overly generic. To counter this we need to start thinking about our brand voice and our brand identity and how to infuse that into the AIs representing our brands, who are at the front door interacting with our customers. This is a potential problem that we need to get a handle on sooner rather than later. Discover how personified AI can redefine your customer relationships and enhance loyalty.

🧠 You’re not selling services. You’re selling experience. That moment when a client signs the contract isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of how they’ll remember working with you.

☀️ AI image creation just got a whole lot better ☀️ As an AI creator, there were always two main issues when creating images, which were true on various platforms, one was the correct rendering of human fingers and the other was the correct rendering of text. This week, Chat GPT has launched an update to Sora that seems to address those two pain points. The implications of this iteration are huge, especially for content marketing, social media, product design, packaging, not to mention brochure design and websites. I created this image to test the text rendering capabilities and so far I am very impressed, I could even change the font and specify which font to use. How do you think you could use this in your own workflows? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e72fi_8H #aiimages #aicreatives #chatgptimages #aimarketing
