The Double-Edged Sword of AI in Business Applications
With the dawn of AI, more and more applications that we rely on for work or play are being augmented by generative AI. According to Gartner, 55% of organizations have implemented or are piloting generative AI solutions. This rapid uptake is driven by the promise of increased efficiency and innovation. However, this also brings significant challenges, particularly concerning data quality and privacy. For example, the US Congress recently banned the use of Microsoft Copilot for its staff, citing risks of data leaks. Gartner also advises caution, warning that AI tools’ ability to access and manipulate unprotected content could lead to sensitive information being exposed both internally and externally.
Join us for a conversation with Alastair Paterson, a serial cyber-security entrepreneur and co-founder and CEO of Harmonic Security.
