Fernando Lucini shared thisAs my people are tired of hearing me say, it’s never been easier to build a demo- but making AI work inside a company is a very different and awesome challenge. Embedding it into the real world of workflows, earning trust, and governing it takes discipline, not hype. Its also immensely rewarding. I enjoyed having a thoughtful conversation with Dr Katy Ring from [@Diginomica] about why this work matters.

Fernando Lucini shared thisOne of my favourite events are the business breakfasts we do in Dublin. i get to go to Dublin, speak as fast as a want and be understood and be grumpy without being judged :) Joking aside thanks Hilary O'Meara and team for having me. Its clear to me thats whilst AI is the only new game in town and it will no doubt change how we work and how we operate companies, there is still a lot of work needed to scale....this is the beginning of this journey....and as Frank Herbert said.."Beginnings are such delicate times" So lets openly talk about how its hard work to build value but also celebrate that this muscle we are building is critical to the future. amazing to join Ian Howie Rachel Eardley Colin Banville Jessica O'Brien Denis Hannigan on stage to share thoughts on how to succeed in Ai at the moment.

Fernando Lucini shared thisI had the opportunity this week to present at the Allianz Data & Ai Summit Allianz. I know I'm biased as I love working with my Allianz friends, but that not withstanding, I was incredibly impressed with the commitment to customer value and the passion to use AI to solve interesting and important challenges..whilst being very grounded to the realities of the technology today. A great balance of dare to change, focus on what works and scale the value at speed. I also made a new cool friend in Sascha Poggemann, I look forward to geeking out more with you in the future. Thank you to Nino Nicotra, Dr. Inka Weinzierl and the Allianz family for hosting me! Accenture DACH Accenture Marco Huwiler Christina Raab Florian Schaudel Christian Uhl Barbara Karuth-Zelle

Fernando Lucini shared thisIt was a real pleasure to do the key note and two incredible panels for the Macquarie Technology in Focus Macquarie brought together leaders across telecoms, data, and emerging technology for its inaugural event Technology in Focus: From Legacy to Leading Edge. A great set of speakers and audience to discuss how the infrastructure behind AI and data continues to evolve. I was truly fascinated to hear all about how Macquarie are working on recovering copper networks so the materials can be recycled and capital injected into new technologies such as AI Factories. Then two incredible panels with Anthony Hills, Tim Haines, Colin Bannon, Tom McDonell, Michel B., Jeremie Eliahou Ontiveros, Giovanni Della Pesca it as a blast, from the pressures on supply and demand for AI, the realities of building an AI Factory, networks going from "sucking to blowing", how networks will manage the edge, etc...Europe really has to push the "go" button. It was really amazing to spend time on this part of the AI problem. thanks a lot Macquarie Group Lou Tricarico Emma Satori Tom McDonell for everyhing. Accenture Accenture UK & Ireland Matt Prebble

Fernando Lucini shared thisI want to do a shameless plug for my friends Ray Eitel-Porter, Dr Paul Dongha and Miriam Vogel's new book. A real study of how to use AI safely in the real world. From people that truly care about the direction this is all going in. Ray Eitel-Porter it did make me smile to see my tiny anecdote in there. :) https://lnkd.in/e7eyrq4T

Fernando Lucini shared thisJust back from an incredible panel at @Royal Television Society’s #RTSConvention on AI: Embracing The Opportunities! 🤖💡 Huge thanks to my fellow panellists Matt Clifford and Kian Katanforoosh for a lively discussion on the complexities and challenges of #AI adoption. There was always the possibility that we all agree but we managed to disagree some :). And special thanks to our chair and moderator Zoe Kleinman for keeping us on our toes and being an awesome host! 👏 Key takeaways: ✨ Practical application (do more, talk less...said the three people talking on stage), building trust, educating ourself and strategic investment are key to unlocking #AI's full potential. ✨ There is massive hype, but volumes of truly amazing inventions and advancements in the land of AI also... building robustness and reliability in AI is very important if we want calculable impact in the coming years. 📸: Richard Kendal/RTS Accenture UK & Ireland Matt Prebble Shaheen Sayed Gavin Mann

Fernando Lucini shared thisAlways fun to share an opinion… but I might be slipping into grumpy engineer territory here. My frustration isn’t with dreaming big about AI—it’s with the narrative that glosses over the real challenges. While a whole world of engineers and scientists tackle complex issues to make AI truly usable, it often gets portrayed as if those hurdles are already behind us. That storytelling undermines genuine progress and trivialises the work being done. So here are some thoughts about benchmarking and Small Language Models (SLMs) in enterprise contexts—from our collaboration with ComputerWeekly.com and the ever-insightful Adrian Bridgwater. I hope this sparks a more grounded conversation about what it really takes to build responsible, reliable AI. Matt Prebble Christopher Lane Gavin Stephenson Pankaj Sodhi https://lnkd.in/eFJ5htWr

Fernando Lucini shared thisBack to Cambridge after a wonderful day at TECH by Handelsblatt. Had lots of conversations about AI for sure, but even more about how Europe can and should push harder on the world stage of technology — and the need for sovereign AI. It was eye-opening to talk to some of the most incredible European companies — ones that design, build, and distribute important, differentiated, and in some cases irreplaceable products and services, famous the world over... but who still talk with unnecessary humility. Let’s be bold. Let’s ride the wave of AI innovation and build a competitive landscape in our own backyard. Thanks so much to Marc-Steffen Unger (www.ms-unger.de) for the great pictures.

Fernando Lucini liked thisFernando Lucini liked thisOne of One Automotive: Advanced financial instruments blending automotive expertise, investment excellence and data & AI to disrupt classic car investments In today’s volatile world, a growing number of investment strategies are increasing the weight of alternative assets to de-risk portfolios. Within alternatives, classic and collectible cars are a “blue ocean”: market assymetries, strong and continued historical appreciation, low volatility – even in times of massive disruption -, liquidity and mobility, in an asset class where demand continues to grow, and supply remains stable, or even decreasing. However, it is also a complex asset class – One where transactions have been driven by intuition & passion for decades. We have founded One of One to change that. After a 20-year career at BCG helping clients gain competitive advantage through tech, data & AI, I am launching this new venture with the best wingman I could have dreamed of, Javier Aguilar. Javier brings more than 15 years of personal and professional investment in this sector, as well as broad & deep connections across the automotive and business landscapes. Today, a new chapter begins. What is One of One? A 25 M€ fund regulated by the CNMV (the Spanish National Securities Market Commission), focused on applying Artificial Intelligence and advanced data analytics to a market traditionally driven by intuition and passion, introducing an unprecedented layer of precision to the sector. We have already secured 50% of committed capital, with ongoing operations yielding excellent returns. My sincere thanks to the investors and Family Offices who have placed their trust on us from day one. #BusinessStrategy #PrivateEquity #WealthManagement #Innovation #AI #ClassicCars #AlternativeAssets #Investment #Porsche #Ferrari #Entrepreneurship #DataAI #Investments

Fernando Lucini liked thisToday marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter; I am joining Insight as CEO, effective April 13. Stepping into this role and joining the Insight team is a privilege. Insight has always stood for something unique in the market — a rare combination of technical depth and scale, a unique ability to help clients seamlessly integrate hardware, software and services, and a genuine commitment to our people, our clients, and our partners. We are at a pivotal moment. #AI requires organizations to move beyond experimentation towards measurable impact, and we have work to do to meet the pace of this transformation. Our focus is clear: to accelerate our position as the world’s leading Solutions Integrator to help our clients realize the full potential of AI.

Fernando Lucini liked thisFernando Lucini liked thisAs AI advances rapidly, the next few years will be hugely consequential for the world. For any company that isn't AI-native, thriving will mean a difficult process of adaptation. To succeed, they need partners with an unusual set of capabilities: deep technical expertise, plus the ability to deliver transformation at scale. Today Faculty has officially joined Accenture. Together, we have created one of the few organisations in the world equipped to lead this historical transition. We made this decision for the same reason we started Faculty in 2014 - because we believe the AI revolution will only go well if the technology is deployed both widely and safely. I’m excited to work with everyone at Faculty and Accenture in the next phase of our journey together.

Fernando Lucini liked thisFernando Lucini liked thisAn agent is only as good as the context it's built on. Huge congratulations to the Workera and Udemy AI teams for building what is likely the largest RAG ingestion pipeline in learning and HR tech. Workera's agent (Elo) is now more deeply integrated than ever with Udemy Business – pulling from a fresh catalog of 31,000+ courses and 2.4M modular learning items, with rich metadata and semantic embeddings built for fast and precise retrieval. Joint customers get access to the most current Udemy content available. And critically, the infrastructure is now in place to keep it that way automatically.

Fernando Lucini liked thisFernando Lucini liked thisGreat to go on The Rest is Money podcast with Robert Peston and Steph McGovern to discuss: - How Faculty's acquisition by Accenture will accelerate the safe widespread adoption of AI - The need for nuance around job displacement - and to view it as reflection of long term technological progress, not a single moment in time - Why banning access to AI in schools is wrong - The industrialisation of software development and the parallels with cotton production - Valuing artisan, artistic jobs rather than purely economic ones - and how AI will make us more human - Tax breaks as a necessary trade off to attract founders and persuade them to scale in the UK Link to episode in the comments.
