AI is coming whether we want it or not. It offers amazing possibilities for business, but brings some incredible security challenges that we will be forced to cope and at a speed that is like nothing we’ve seen before.
As I noted in the introduction, by pure coincidence, I was slate to have a discussion with Krish Banerjee, Canada Managing Director at Accenture for AI and Data, to discuss the pressing challenges and opportunities Artificial Intelligence presents for businesses, cybersecurity, and national productivity – a few days after Accenture published a report on AI and Security. The discussion we did not focus on security, but I think it might provide a good basis for understanding where we are today.
