Key Takeaways
• Only 2.8% of UK businesses feel ready for AI regulations
• Aida is like ChatGPT with a legal degree and your company’s handbook memorized
• Data privacy is the top concern—and most companies lack a plan
• Skillcast is selling peace of mind, not just software
• AI compliance is a global issue—U.S. businesses, take note
AI isn’t just powering software—it’s making decisions that affect people, products, and profits. From hiring to fraud detection, AI is now part of the core engine. But regulation is catching up, and most companies are nowhere near ready.
According to a recent survey by Skillcast, only 2.8% of UK business leaders feel “very prepared” for upcoming AI compliance rules.
The leading worry? Data privacy. Nearly 80% of respondents said it was their top concern. More than half were also nervous about AI making decisions with no human checks in place. These aren’t just hypotheticals—these are lawsuit-level risks.
The Solution: Meet Aida—Your New Compliance Wingman
Skillcast has launched Aida, an AI assistant designed to keep your company compliant, informed, and protected. Unlike generic chatbots, Aida is trained on your internal policies—not public data or random internet content.
• Trained on internal company policies, not public data
• Gives confidential, role-specific compliance answers in real time
• Reduces the risk of data leaks or misinformation
It lives inside your organization and responds only with guidance that’s relevant, correct, and backed by your existing rules. That’s the difference between helpful and harmful.
Why It Works: Real Help, Not Just Another Tool
Most compliance tools feel like homework. Aida changes that. It’s built for fast answers and real-world use on the job, in the moment, when people actually need clarity.
That’s from Vivek Dodd, CEO of Skillcast. He’s betting that smarter delivery leads to stronger understanding and fewer mistakes that end in fines.
So What? Here’s Why This Actually Matters
Aida isn’t a “nice-to-have.” It’s a preview of what modern compliance looks like when AI and policy meet at the right time.
• The EU AI Act is just the start—U.S. and global regulators are following suit
• Companies that get compliance wrong face heavy fines and reputational damage
• One-off training sessions aren’t enough—people need support while they work
• Aida helps build compliance into workflows, not just policy docs
It turns policies into something usable. That’s a win for companies—and a wall against risk.
Skillcast isn’t selling flashy tech. It’s offering a real solution to a real problem: how to make sure every employee gets compliance right—without needing a legal degree or a 300-slide training deck.
And with AI regulations tightening fast, companies that don’t invest in tools like Aida may be left exposed.
