Further, employees must be made aware of the risks. Many, CISOs included, don’t actually understand the extent of the problem and its broader implications. “Education is essential and doesn’t require a lot of work,” said Williams. On the other hand, implementing a policy and framework does, and enterprises first need to decide what risks they are willing to live with.
Ultimately, he said, we are navigating an unprecedented time in history, with new technology advancing at such a rapid pace that the technologists themselves don’t even know where it is going. Enterprises must quickly understand the implications, and use AI responsibly to gain a strategic advantage.
“Just as the industrial revolution and the internet changed the way we worked, AI is doing the same,” said Williams. “In fact, we expect this to be an even bigger shift than either of those transitions.”
