Emerging-Emerging' Trends With Tim Crawford, CIO Strategic Advisor At AVOA

VMware News, Wednesday, August 16,2023

How should CIOs be thinking about implementing generative AI? What does it mean to be a sustainable business? What are offices for? In this episode, host Yadin Porter de Leon sits down with Tim Crawford, CIO Strategic Advisor at AVOA, to discuss these questions in depth.

They dive into the conversations that Tim is having with CIOs about generative AI and the nuances surrounding the debates around work-from-home.

Key Quotes:

'We've been challenged for data scientists within our organization. Generative AI just takes that to the next level. And so the problem is, we don't even have the resources internally to be able to get our arms around it.'

'And that's part of what is scaring IT executives today is that they got burned on cloud. And now we're talking about generative AI. And now, unfortunately, we're talking more about data and the risks just went up. So you have to be really careful about how you go down this. I realize the pressures there. I realize there's a lot of demand to try and adopt it and get ahead of your competition. But at the same time, if you don't think about the risks that go with it and have a healthy balance between benefit and risk, you're just playing with fire.'
