Artificial Intelligence
AI is a tool, not a threat
Do You even Need AI?
And if so, what are you going to do with it?
Regardless of the answer, you want to have an AI policy that reflects your company's goals with regards to AI. This policy must include some training so your staff know what the company expect of them whether they use AI or not. Including AI hallucinations within the training is vital as the impact of getting it wrong can be devastating, as this lawyer found out.
If you decide to use AI, then you have to validate all its output. You just cannot trust whatever it produces to be accurate. If you use it to enhance your developer teams, you need to make sure the code is both tested and reviewed by human eyes. If you use AI generated material, be aware that you cannot copyright it. Training staff how to use AI safely and effectively is something Firmamentum has experience in.
If you decide to produce an AI model, you need to ensure it matches the fast evolving UK, EU, and US guidelines. Points like risk, transparency, and ethics need to be addressed. The data governance of what goes into AI model needs careful consideration.
Security
Gartner reported in 2023 that nearly 30% of companies deploying AI had security breaches 1. The rest might not know whether they had one or not.
Old security models do not map well onto AI, and the new security measures are still in their infancy. Data governance is another minefield for AI. At Firmamentum, we will guide you in defining your AI policy according to your requirements, whether is it just using AI or producing models. From ethical, operations, and security considerations, we will ensure that your use of AI is both resilient, efficient, and secure in all the departments using it. Finally, looking at the OWASP top 10 for AI is essential.
AI is a vast subject, with much nonsense bandied about, but it is a powerful tool when used correctly. At Firmamentum, we have the experience, knowledge, and know-how to guide your AI journey.
