“To make a positive impact on your business, it definitely requires a properly applied strategy and roadmap, „So they can improve their skills and achieve their business goals,” says Corrigan.
As shadow-generating AI permeates, it requires organizations to establish use cases and the tools they want to use. „Even if a company doesn’t use a specific AI tool, employees use ChatGPT and all kinds of third-party AI tools because it makes them more efficient,” says Briggs & Stratton’s Olsson. „The hard truth is that if you don’t start giving them the tools, they will find them; …even if they don’t do anything with AI, the data is at risk. This is a new risk for information security.
Dave Pavlak, managing director of IT at Consumer Energy, agrees: „Generative AI must be implemented safely”; „It’s not that easy.”
Still, even with these hard facts, Kermish, Pavlak, Baig, and others say there is value in deploying generative AI quickly, safely, and at scale.
„It will allow you to go from pilot to scale.” Baig said. „Unlike other digital disruptions, I believe we’re at a stage in AI that requires a level of investment and a better understanding of the technology.” „You have an incredible opportunity to seize, and it’s even more important for CIOs to play a leadership role in moving organizations forward.”
