As CIOs are continuing to tackle use cases for GenAI implementation, we must ensure that not only is our data accurate, protected and regulated, but we must also consider security, scalability and responsible AI practices. While protecting IP, compliance and security, sustainability and mitigation are key components for any CIO at their organization, what can we do today to get one step ahead of what's coming next?
In this interactive discussion with peers, CIOs will have a deep dive into some of the challenges we are all facing in our AI journey.
Topic 1: Preparation and Ground-Up Security
What is the biggest challenge you are currently facing with Gen AI implementation? What is holding you back from scaling it, or what is something you wish you'd known before starting?
How are you thinking about security in compliance differently than you have before?
What do you forecast the next wave of vulnerabilities in security to be?
Topic 2: Scalability and Responsible AI
Do you feel your organization (or even industry) is meeting the moment when it comes to embracing AI capabilities?
What GenAI-specific infrastructure are you planning to implement (or are implementing) and how are you considering deployment resiliently and sustainably?
What does responsible AI look like for you and is there anything preventing you from implementing AI within your definition?!
