DATA and AI – Driving the Future

Introduction.
Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that uses computational models to perform tasks that previously required human intelligence. Examples include; Chatsonic – AI Chatbot, GitHub Copilot, Google Bard, OpenAI Playground.

AI and the future.
Currently AI is being used in the Healthcare system, Autonomous Vehicles Education, Security and Défense. Manufacturing, Entertainment, Banking and Finance and in the Workplace.

Categorizing AI Risks
Identifying and categorizing risks is the first step towards mitigation. Organizations should consider the following categories:

  • Industry-Specific Risks: Different industries have unique AI risk profiles. For instance, the medical industry faces risks such as historical bias in AI algorithms affecting patient outcomes, whereas the manufacturing industry might focus more on operational downtimes and maintenance.
  • Location-Specific Risks: AI risks vary by jurisdiction. The rapid growth of AI has prompted the creation of regulatory frameworks worldwide. These frameworks aim to protect individual rights and ensure the ethical use of AI.
  • Business Organization-Specific Risks: Compliance standards can vary significantly across different types of business organizations. For example, public companies in the US are increasingly disclosing AI-related risks in their corporate filings.
  • Business Function-Specific Risks: The data used to train AI in different functions within an organization carries distinct risks. AI in human resources, for example, may perpetuate biases in hiring if historical biases are not adequately addressed.

  • Cyber Threat Detection: AI systems can flag threats by recognizing patterns and anomalies within security systems.
  • Data Management: AI can categorize and store sensitive data in line with data protection regulations, preventing unauthorized access.
  • Vulnerability Scanning: AI models can detect potential security threats before they evolve into full-blown attacks.
  • Data Encryption: AI-powered systems can develop and secure powerful encryption techniques.
  • Endpoint Data Analysis: AI can monitor network devices to spot malicious activities, ensuring data security at endpoint devices.
