From Python to energy grids to industrial control systems, ageing systems are reliably and efficiently resisting calls for their replacement.

Everyone’s talking about AI, but few are talking about how to lead through it. We speak with Joe Atkinson, the newly appointed Global Chief AI Officer at PwC, about what it really takes for businesses to adopt AI responsibly and effectively.
