A few gazillion words by now have been written about how generative AI is going to change all our lives. As a result, many organizations are now either considering or actually testing it for their own use. The problem is that many of these are engaging with the publicly available AI engines to do so, and this is a Really. Bad. Idea.

This session exposes a number of critical truths about the public engines that you must understand before you go this route. It also explains why licensing AI technology for your private internal use may be the vastly better path to take.

These critical truths include the following:

• Generative AI is ‘ruminant,’ meaning its output reflects information that has already been input – including information that it previously created itself. (Think of the way a cow chews its cud and you’ll get the idea.) So any imprecisions, errors, or outright falsehoods that creep in then propagate with each use, quickly degrading the quality of the results you receive.

• The public engines are exactly that – public – meaning that the information people feed into them is also public. So anything you input is potentially viewable by anybody else who using the engines, if not directly then at least by virtue of the ruminant nature of the technology that was just mentioned.

• The public nature of these engines means the output your query generates is based on a lot of information that doesn’t directly relate to your situation, meaning the results you get may not be as relevant as they might otherwise be.

Attendees of this session will learn about:

• Common problems with generative AI in general
• The perils and pitfalls associated with using the public AI engines for organizational purposes
• The (relative) safety of licensing AI technology for your organization’s private use
• An effective strategy for investigating and testing AI in your organization
