Absolutely thrilled to have my thoughts on "AI needs to be kept under an IA eye" featured on ETPrime! Huge thanks to ETPrime for providing a platform to discuss such an important topic. The vast potential of AI to change the technology and business environment indeed points to the need for robust security. It means that the internal audit function will have to keep pace with identifying and, when possible, getting ahead of and mitigating the new set of risks associated with AI systems.   In this article, we will review new emerging challenges and strategic imperatives for internal audit in AI security. Framing insights drawn from the recent industry studies and best practices, I outline a framework that will bring IA closer to enhancing readiness and ensuring the AI technologies are leveraged safely and responsibly. Join the conversation on how the organization can best prepare to meet the security demands.   Read the full article here https://lnkd.in/dytvJ-yz.

#GenerativeAI initiatives are highly risky. But that shouldn't stop us from adopting the tech. While #GenAI will transform industrial processes from reactive, to predictive and prescriptive and create tremendous value for organizations, the #AI models/ #LLMs introduce novel security risks that must be considered. Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has published a report describing the risks and countermeasures companies should consider.

Tracking the progress of the Secure AI market over the past 18 months has been fascinating and, at times, frustrating because the heavy volume of activity has made it challenging keep tabs on the actions that truly matter. We put together this Secure AI Milestones Infographic to help capture a unique moment for this transformative space. Hope it serves as a helpful resource for you as well! Given the pace of progress, this is more than likely just Version 1. I would love to hear your input on other significant Secure AI milestones that didn’t make our final list this time around, or actions on the horizon you’re tracking closely. High on my watchlist: the continued progress (and likely impact) of the EU AI Act. The next few months should be very interesting. #SecureAI #AI #Infographics4eva

The urgency and momentum around Secure AI is only growing. The surge of Secure AI guidelines over the last 18 months has prominently featured the powerful family of Privacy Enhancing Technologies.

#PrivateAI is revolutionising the way businesses approach data security and innovation. By integrating artificial intelligence into their operations, organisations can analyse vast amounts of data, gain valuable insights, and drive strategic decision-making. So what sets private AI apart? 🤔 Its ability to do so while maintaining the utmost privacy and security of the data involved. This technology is especially crucial in an era where data breaches are becoming increasingly common and costly. Private AI enables companies to leverage the power of AI and big data without compromising sensitive information or customer trust. Stay informed on the latest in technology and data security. Private AI is not just a tool; it's a strategic advantage. 👉 Follow Lunar Digital for more AI insights! #DigitalTransformation #PrivateAI #datacentresolutions #ai #artificialintelligence

2023 was the year of AI, and it is exciting to see the new technological advancements we may see in 2024. As computing power increases and foundation models reach closer to 10^26 FLOPs, we may be getting closer to artificial general intelligence whereby AI and humans will be one. While we might not get there technologically in 2024, we will see an expansion of AI regulations. What is certain is that we will see the final text of the EU AI Act, and perhaps more countries adopting horizontal comprehensive AI regulations. Companies developing and using AI within their organization need to stay ahead of the curve by implementing proper AI governance which consists of:   1.     Forming an AI governance team with members possessing diverse skills 2.     Data governance and maintaining a data provenance record 3.     Identifying legal requirements and addressing gaps in compliance 4.     Identifying and ranking AI risks and conducting an AI impact assessment 5.     Implementing risk mitigation measures (i.e., transparency and explainability notices, avoiding bias, human-centric AI, accuracy, robustness, safety, security, privacy-by-design, human involvement and a kill switch, technical documentation and logs, post-market monitoring, and a plan for decommissioning AI). 6.     Ensuring accountability by maintaining documentation of the above. #artificialntelligence

If the CIA is leveraging AI, the question is, what are you waiting for? The AI Deputy Director of the CIA emphasizes the importance of democratizing AI across the organization, a step towards innovation and security. In my recent post on the adoption of Generative AI by tech execs, it's highlighted that ensuring AI tools have a specific purpose is key to managing disruptive data. This human-centric approach to machine learning is pivotal in the current landscape. Governance is essential in AI applications, especially in intelligence agencies. Understanding the parameters of AI innovation is crucial for protecting the nation against threats, as well as, aligning with the President’s Executive Order on AI published last October which emphasizing the need for governance and innovation. The alignment between corporate and federal approaches to AI signals a shared vision for innovation and risk mitigation. It's reassuring to see a harmonized effort towards progress and security.
