In this episode of The Business of AI, Tim Flagg talks with Simon Torrance, founder of AI Risk, about how agentic AI is transforming business models and redefining competitive advantage. Simon explains why the biggest risk for leaders today is failing to adopt agentic AI fast enough, as companies begin building infinite digital workforces that can operate autonomously alongside humans. Together, they explore real-world case studies, the strategic roadmap for integrating AI agents, the ethical and operational risks, and how leaders can prepare their organisations, and their people, for this next wave of AI-driven transformation.

Host Tim Flagg sits down with Agnieszka Krukowska, founder of annimoIQ, to explore how we build broader AI education and genuine AI confidence—not just coding, but everyday literacy that helps people trust and use AI at work and in life.

We discuss augmented humans (not replacement), why estate-agent style case studies show AI freeing people from admin to focus on relationships, and how creativity is shifting: from linear TV to nano-dramas, mobile-first storytelling, and AI-assisted production. Agnieszka also shares thoughts on IP, dataset scraping, and the need for responsible AI across industry communities (including Women in AI).
Plus: her book “The AI Life Coach”—a prompt-driven guide for reflection, growth and better decisions—and how AI can support wellbeing when used with care.

What you will learn:
- Why “AI literacy for all” matters as much as technical skills
- Augmentation in practice: letting humans do the human work
- New creative formats: nano-dramas, hooks, and mobile story arcs
-Trust, IP and responsible adoption across media and marketing
- Using prompts for personal growth with The AI Life Coach
- Where webinars, film panels and community events push the conversation forward

Host Tim Flagg talks with James Teare of TeareOne, a practising lawyer of 25 years, about bringing practical AI to the parts of the legal market that are usually last in line. James explains how to match real workflows with clear use cases, cut through vendor hype, and make adoption work for smaller firms with tight budgets and limited time.

We cover drafting assistance with human oversight, web and mobile apps that need minimal integration, and the due diligence needed on data, compliance and resilience. James also shares how an ecosystem of UK providers can help with training, ISO readiness, escrow, and cyber security so firms can adopt safely and keep serving clients without disruption.

What you will learn:

• How to turn vendor promises into concrete workflow wins
• Pricing and procurement models that open access for smaller firms
• Risk and compliance basics for legal AI
• GDPR, SRA duties, data residency, encryption in transit and at rest
• EU AI Act and CRA awareness, UK standards and ISO
• Business continuity so practice does not pause
• Why minimal integration tools often beat big platform replacements
• When open source or on premise options make sense
• How to run introductions, due diligence and short pilots that stick
