From busting myths about energy-hungry data centres to explaining why your fridge temperature could be saving your company thousands, Malcolm brings a refreshingly grounded perspective to one of the most polarising conversations in business today. Malcolm Buckley, founder of Bright Angles and a veteran of 25+ years in technology and data, joins Tim to cut through the noise around AI and sustainability. 
We explore why the headlines about AI "burning the world" don't tell the whole story, how UK businesses can take back control of their environmental footprint, and why the data you already have, imperfect as it is, is good enough to start making better decisions right now.
Malcolm also makes the case for why the UK is uniquely positioned to lead the world on sovereign, sustainable AI infrastructure, and why the businesses shaping AI strategy today are, in his words, "the lucky generation in the room."
If you're a business leader trying to navigate the gap between AI's promise and its real-world impact, this one's for you.
