“AI to manage my inbox”, “AI to handle purchasing”, “AI to schedule CEO’s flights”, “AI to ….” - FFS! Artificial Intelligence is being baked into all kinds of products. Companies are selling mediocre and often badly developed products with “AI will solve” taglines. Sometimes it feels like us in Security teams are using duct tape to patch Hoover dam. So, what do we do?
This talk is a culmination of notes I’ve taken over past year trying to help govern AI onslaught at my day job and in non-profits I consult with. I will offer practical insights via storytelling. You will walk away with realistic view of AI’s capabilities and risks and talking points needed to address its adoption in your organization. The goal of my talk isn’t to help you stop AI adoption. I find AI to be extremely helpful when used to its fullest potential. My goal is to help prepare you for AI enablement in a mature secure manner.
