In this episode of AI for Good, host Nigel Watson sits down with Kelly Beaver, Global CEO of Ipsos, to explore one of the most important questions facing society today: how can we embrace AI's potential while maintaining trust, transparency and human connection?

Drawing on Ipsos research and decades of experience understanding public attitudes, Kelly shares why excitement about AI is increasingly being matched by concern. The conversation explores public trust, data privacy, the future of work, and the critical role humans must continue to play in an AI-enabled world.

In this episode of AI for Good, we sit down with Rob Mustard, Director of Capital Investment at Scottish Water, to explore how AI is reshaping decision-making in one of the UK’s most critical industries.

With over 30 years in the sector, Rob shares his journey from early scepticism — once viewing AI as a “flash in the pan” — to seeing its real impact firsthand. Today, AI is helping teams navigate the complexity of managing a £1bn+ annual investment programme, turning vast volumes of data into faster, smarter, and more informed decisions.

At its core, this episode challenges the hype and the fear around AI, offering a pragmatic view from the front line of utilities: the future isn’t AI versus humans — it’s the power of both working together.
