Security Boulevard, Monday, February 19th, 2024
Few technologies have captured the public imagination quite like generative AI. It seems that with every passing day, there are new AI-based chatbots, extensions and apps being released to eager users around the world.
According to a recent Gartner survey of IT leaders, 55% of organizations are either piloting or in production mode with generative AI. That's an impressive metric by any degree, least of all considering that the phrase 'generative AI' was barely part of our collective lexicon just 12 months ago.
However, despite this technology's promise to accelerate the productivity and efficiency of its workforce, it's also left a minefield of potential risks and liabilities in its wake. An August survey by BlackBerry found that 75% of organizations worldwide were considering or implementing bans on ChatGPT and other generative AI applications in the workplace, with the vast majority of those (67%) citing the risk to data security and privacy.
