Should You Replace Your Software With AI? (2026/762)

Running AI locally can keep private information on your own computer instead of sending it to an AI provider. That privacy advantage sounds straightforward until another application exposes your AI to the Internet and allows a malicious website to take control and leave poisoned instructions behind.

Cyera Research achieved exactly that in a proof of concept involving Ollama and third-party AI agent software. There’s a lot to take away from this episode:

✅ How local AI can be compromised
➡️ What AI poisoning is
⚡ The benefit of paying attention to case studies like this
⭐ Practical actions to take when operating local AI

There’s lots to consider here.

Do you run local AI? Do you know how to maintain your system?

How Do Supply Chain Problems Reach Your Business? (2026/764)

What do arsenic in beer, faulty computer chips and a supply chain attack have in common? A problem can reach you through a product you trust, from a supplier you’ve never heard of.

An AFP investigation prompted Charly to look at how far back these problems go:

✅ A brewery’s ingredients brought something nobody ordered into the beer.
➡️ IBM found itself dealing with a problem in Intel’s chips.
⚡ Shared software can carry one compromise into many different products.
⭐ Being careful still leaves a place for a recovery plan.

There are lessons here for your business, including why choosing a trusted supplier is only part of managing the risk.

Join Charly for Firewall Friday and consider what you’d need to keep your business running if a supplier’s problem became yours.

How Does AI Search Change Your Website? With Jenna Hannon (E40,S2026)

AI search is changing how customers find businesses but it doesn’t make your website less important, it just changes how you use it Jenna Hannon, founder of Hatter, joins Charly to explain what the move from SEO to Answer Engine Optimisation means for your content and your leads.

Their conversation covers things like:

✅ Customer questions matter more than keyword density on a page on your site
➡️ AI recommendations may reach buyers without sending every visitor to your site and what that really means for a Business Owner
⚡ Why it's important to have separate service pages
⭐ Why "human in the loop" is a priority for any AI assisted process

If you're interested in having your content "cited" in the AI Search Results (and you should be), there are practical lessons here for business owners.

Listen to the conversation before you replace your SEO playbook or press the button on an automated content tool.
