Risk and AI for Corporations – 10 Things to Evaluate Right Now!

The corporate landscape is changing faster than ever before and its speed is increasing exponentially.

The road to business and sales success which were easy to follow in yesteryear has been replaced with crooked pavement and too many potential twists and turns to easily predict the right path forward.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the reason for this corporate revolution, offering unprecedented opportunities for speed, growth, knowledge, and efficiency. However, as every comic book reader knows with great power comes great responsibility, and AI is no exception.

In fact, the biggest concern is that AI is moving so fast that what is legal or not, is in question as new precedents are set and new laws in Europe and the USA start to form. Sam Altman CEO of Open AI has even gone on record to state that the AI Revolution maybe moving too fast for Society to Adapt. Same with Business!

The challenge for any C-Suite team is understanding which AI risks are real vs. AI fear mongering.

Corporations must be vigilant when integrating new AI applications into their operations. They must be clear regarding the known risks and be prepared if their AI goes rogue how they are going to handle it. With AI you can’t know everything that is coming, but corporations must look at the big picture when implementing AI, and know the potentially amazing, good while being prepared for the ramifications of a bad AI install or employees using AI illegally (likely without even knowing it).
