🚀We are thrilled to share exciting news regarding the latest monthly episode of the C-Suite Corner with MJ. During our recent webinar, we had the pleasure of diving into the interconnected roles of AI, effective data management, and robust security in promoting innovation within organizations.🌐 Discussion centered on how innovation is a crucial driver of success in today's fast-paced world, and we firmly believe that three critical factors contribute to this success: AI, Data, and Security. These three elements are interdependent and form the foundation of any digital transformation that seeks to succeed. AI serves as the engine that powers the creation and delivery of new products, services, and experiences. It drives process optimization, task automation, and insights generation from massive data sets, all essential to innovation. Data acts as the fuel that powers the AI engine. It serves as the raw material for learning, training, and improving AI models, and it helps us measure the impact and value of our innovations. Security provides the shield that safeguards the AI engine and the data fuel. It ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability, preserving our customers' and partners' privacy and trust. Together, AI, Data, and Security form the triad of innovation, essential for any organization that wishes to remain at the forefront of innovation and provide value to its stakeholders. By harnessing the power of AI, Data, and Security, we can create a better future for everyone. 🚀 We thank our panelists, David O., AYODEJI FOLARIN (MVP, MCT, MBA), and Samuel Adranyi, for doing justice to the topic and providing insightful perspectives. Thanks to everyone who joined us on this exciting journey towards innovation.

We hope you'll join us for future episodes of the C-Suite Corner with MJ as we continue to explore topics that drive innovation and success. #Webinar #AI #DataManagement #Security #Innovation #TechTalk

As part of moving into our amazing new offices in Rådhusgata 5, we had the pleasure of hosting our close connections from Credo Partners and Farvatn for a breakfast session filled with insights. Our experts, Leiv Thomas, Daniel, and Silje guided us through the fascinating intersection of security and artificial intelligence (AI), with a special focus on Copilot.   💡 Leiv Thomas delved into the nuanced impact of emerging technological trends, emphasizing how we tend to overestimate short-term effects and underestimate long-term implications. He explored how AI can create value, boost productivity, and offer insights, while also acknowledging the new opportunities and challenges these tools bring. Leiv Thomas highlighted that we are at the nascent stage of AI development, making it difficult to predict its trajectory even three years ahead. Nevertheless, one thing remains certain: embracing AI enhances our productivity.   🤖 Daniel introduced the newly launched Microsoft 365 Copilot, a tool designed to simplify tasks and prepare us for the future. He showcased how Copilot can assist in generating texts, presentations, and other content based on AI. By feeding Copilot with the right information, Daniel demonstrated how one can swiftly draft a PowerPoint presentation in mere minutes.   🔒 Silje addressed the crucial topic of information security and the challenges posed by the increasing use of AI. With more threat actors leveraging artificial intelligence, Silje underscored the importance of raising awareness about the threats we face and fostering a culture of security within our organization. At EVIDI, we collaborate across departments to mitigate these risks, leveraging our expertise to ensure technology serves its intended purpose. As Silje aptly puts it, "Security is vital for people, but people are equally vital for security."   A heartfelt thank you to my colleagues for an inspiring morning and thanks to Gudmund, Pål, Bjørnar, Trond & the team for the visit and contributions to a professional and insightful discussion!   #Strengthliesintheunity #AI 

As the AI market expands, new and innovative applications for AI-powered software have emerged. From drafting messages to analyzing information, AI brings a seemingly limitless potential to accelerate the mission-critical workflows that are essential to operational success. But what does the fast-evolving landscape of AI mean for enterprises and the way we collaborate? To answer that question, Mattermost Developer Advocate Andrew Zigler recently hosted a webinar called "The Collaboration Landscape of Tomorrow: How AI is Transforming Mission-Critical Work" that featured: 📌 Taylor Ralston, information systems architect, AMPAC Fine Chemicals 📌 Ruslan Shlain, GM and director of professional services, Herzum 📌 Alec Leeseberg, president, Velocity Explorations Interested in seeing what the future of #collaboration looks like?

Join the OnSolve team (Sue Holub, Nick Hill, Chris Hurst) as they discuss the Rise of #GenerativeAI: Exploring Responsible and Productive Use for Resilience Practitioners. Join us at #DRJFall 2024 in Dallas for this great session and more! https://lnkd.in/gM7jEfNQ The rise of generative AI introduces both opportunities and challenges for security and business continuity practitioners. While some argue the technology is prone to “hallucinate,” and causes intellectual property and privacy concerns, others have already started integrating it into their resilience programs.  Join OnSolve executives as they explore the role of generative AI in risk intelligence, security, and business continuity, discussing the ability to support data analysis, real-time information provision, scenario modeling, and other tasks. They will draw upon lessons from the past decade using ML (2013), transformers (2017) and generative AI (2022) models. Valid concerns exist at the leadership level and must be addressed prior to implementing generative-based AI at any organization.  Attendees will learn the key components of establishing appropriate safeguards for leveraging responsible AI and how to maximize the benefits of the technology to speed risk detection and strengthen resilience. #businesscontinuity #disasterrecovery #businessresilience #cyberresilience #riskmanagment

Game plan for AI security? Here’s my scoop after reviewing presentations from the latest Gartner Symposium: 1. Protect the Goods IP and data leaks are real, so lock them down. My recommendations: • Enterprise-grade model APIs • Custom embeddings • Hybridize open- and closed source • Run AI models locally for the extra mile in security 2. The Data Fortress Adding to this: Your outputs are as good as your data, and the data is only as safe as your own platform. Utilize the modern data stack to build a secure & sound foundation for your AI. • On-prem + private cloud hybrid MDS solutions • Secure data pipelines 3. Smarts & Ethics Ground the model with fine-tuning, RAG, and other customization options. Leave bias & hallucinations in 2023. • Ground models with your own data • RAG + fine-tuning cuts hallucinations & gives extra context • Add automatic, multi-layered moderation 4. Team Up: The future of work is changing. @Gartner suggests retraining the crew, keeping an eye on AI usage & data quality and only automating gradually. A more connected, interdisciplinary workforce can take the heat that is coming. • Responsible AI usage with robust governance • Retrain to prevent disruption & mitigate risks • Automated efficiency reshapes the future of work Innovate with a side of caution, and you’ll be golden—even in highly regulated environments! #innovation #airevolution #playitsmart #gartnersym
