IT Leaders Grapple With Shadow AI
CIO, Thursday, July 27,2023
Generative AI promises dramatic productivity gains, but rogue use must be curtailed until control is gained.
Max Chan knew he had to do something. Soon after ChatGPT burst on the scene in November 2022, Chan realized generative AI would amount to far more than the just the latest technology flash-in-the-pan.
With the ability to instantaneously ingest reams of data using large language models (LLMs), generative AI technologies such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard can produce reports, contracts, and application code far surpassing earlier technologies in speed, accuracy, and thoroughness. Result: dramatic productivity gains and potentially game-changing business advantage.
