What I learned this week
TL;DR
I posted a more “opinion” piece this week on the back of some reading and posts on LinkedIn. All about the paradox of why we are still seeing a daily occurrence of data breaches even if there are billions of dollars of investment. You can read it here.
Microsoft's "Stargate" project, a $100 billion investment in a supercomputing cluster for OpenAI, could redefine AI development and geopolitical tech dynamics. The cost aspect of this is very interesting. If you got to spend $100 billion to get to the next level of AI (AGI?) that will seriously limit who can do this. Basic economics might get in the way. Full AI adoption will only happen if it's worth it economically. Someone will need to sell a lot of subscription or API usage to make some money out of this investment.
Microsoft is back in the news with the CSRB report. Pretty damning report if you ask me! This has to raise a lot of questions from any CISO in companies that rely on Microsoft (which is more or less every company). Not saying everybody should back away from Microsoft Azure and O365, but this situation has to raise questions on the systemic risk related to Microsoft and other cloud service providers.
Still working on my RAG project. I now have a working API servers that I can use to run customer queries (fully inspired by Fabric). Leveraging the JSON output from the OpenAI API, so I can integrate it in a basic website to keep track of the prompts, source content and response. I need to check the latest tools from Anthropic. More to come on that.
How to Tackle AI Threats with Effective Governance?
Following up on last week introduction of my home-made AI risk management approach. I’m continuing this week by zooming into the Governance topic. There are obviously a lot of literature on the topic, so i’m not going to cover everything related to governance. I want to focus on the threat and risk assessment part as I don’t understand how you can assess risk without understand the threat first!
