The Unyielding AI Challenge: Safeguarding Organizations in the Digital Era

 


As ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence tools continue to rise, defining workplace productivity has become more difficult. For a productive workplace to be achieved, however, there must be a consideration of how artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and other technologies can be used as an aid to assist - or even replace - human workers. 

Data protection authorities around the world are increasingly scrutinizing ChatGPT, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software developed by OpenAI, which features Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is worthwhile to understand some of the implications of the current regulatory investigation into the technology. In addition, it is important to understand the reasons for criticism. 

Considering the cutting-edge technologies introduced by OpenAI, Microsoft, and NVIDIA – along with the increased pressure to compete in the market – your company will inevitably face the wide range of strategic and societal effects of machine learning, large language models, and much more shortly. There is no doubt that operations are of utmost importance to leaders who are focused on operational challenges and disruptions, but ethical concerns should be equally important as operational concerns. 

Because of the huge gap between technological capabilities and regulation, and the rapid pace of changes in the artificial intelligence landscape, companies are left to assure themselves that these tools are used safely and ethically, even if regulations lag. 

AI Assists Humans With Generative Tasks  


In the workplace, there is a strong interest in generative AI, and this is a growing trend. Some people are concerned that this technology will have unintended effects. However, others are intrigued by its plethora of capabilities and do not seem to have any problems with it. 

To cope with the growing ubiquity of AI technologies and the tools that use those technologies, regulatory scrutiny will be necessary. This will enable us to explore what can be done and how it may be regulated as the boundaries of what can be done are pushed. 

As the European Union and the UK both have regulators that have already begun to take an active interest in how AI can interact with GDPR, it will be interesting to observe how those regulators respond and how they engage with organizations like OpenAI that use AI as a core part of their products, to learn from those regulators. 


Time is Running Out 


It is no secret that technology is continuing to progress at a rapid pace. Eight months ago, ChatGPT was introduced as a user-friendly advancement in generative artificial intelligence. A wide range of reactions has been reported from the public in response to the technology's potential impact as well as its ethics and ethical implications. It is nevertheless indisputable that AI is taking steps to improve upon its already impressive abilities to mimic reality. This is done by extending them and making them even more special. These are the overarching technological discoveries to come.

As a consequence, time ticks away. There can never be too soon for a defense that is up-to-date with what's coming and can anticipate what's to come. In the next few years, it is likely that many organizations and governments will be exposed to many new threats powered by artificial intelligence engines if they store confidential data electronically. With these AI-powered engines that scrape the Dark Web, data can be accessed much faster and in a more effective manner than if data had been manually accessed, which significantly increases the speed at which data can be mined from the Dark Web. 

Ransomware that uses AI to encrypt data is on its way, and automation of automated processes could have devastating effects. Furthermore, along with considering the extent to which artificial intelligence's capabilities will ultimately progress, it is also crucial to evaluate how well cybersecurity will be able to protect itself against AI-powered threats.

Threats to Cyberspace Reduced by AI 


It is estimated that AI will lead to an increase in threat actors, as it will ease a lot of the technically challenging tasks for anyone to do. The onset of a variety of cyber threats that are capable of breaching your vulnerabilities 24/7 from every angle, coupled with the emergence of a greater number of threat actors capable of performing nefarious activities without the skills to make a living from cybercrime, will guarantee the continued growth of ransomware as a billion-dollar industry in the next few years. 

Technology with such high potential will be a big part of our lives and work for the next few decades. Consequently, you will discover that 44% of your emails are now being answered by artificial intelligence (AI) at UK energy company Octopus Energy. 

Furthermore, Freshworks' CEO has claimed that, on average, tasks that used to take eight to ten weeks to complete are now accomplished within days. This is instead of eight to ten weeks. A significant reason for this is that the organization has adopted AI tools as part of its workflow.

The pace of progress in the development of evolving forms of generative AI will continue to accelerate over the next few weeks, months, and years. There will be a variety of tasks they will be able to accomplish and these will enhance our skills in a variety of ways as well. In retrospect, the rise of ChatGPT and similar tools, which were first installed a few months ago, may seem just as unbelievable to us as it did just a few months ago. 

Let's look at some of the ways generative AI may continue to evolve in the future and some of the tasks it will help solve shortly. This will enable us to get a sense of what we can expect:   

The Future of ChatGPT 


As for generative AI based on text, it has already proven to be pretty impressive, particularly when it comes to research and the creation of first drafts. The process of writing a story or a poem might have been interesting for you, too. However, you likely realized it was not as good as Stephen King or Shakespeare yet, especially in terms of coming up with innovative ideas. 

Several factors will be incorporated into next-generation language models, over and above GPT-4, which will enable them to create written copy that is more engaging and deeper than ever before. Additionally, it is expected that models will be iterating on the progress that is already being made by tools such as AutoGPT. A text-based generative AI application can also write its prompts with these tools, allowing it to generate tasks of increased complexity automatically.   

AI That Generates Visuals


Currently, generative AI technology is quite capable of creating images based on natural language prompts in addition to text. It is quite capable of creating both. Some of the tools that use this technology even allow you to produce video with it. Even though they have proven to be highly effective due to their intensive nature, they have some shortcomings. 

In the coming years, as the field of generative AI develops and becomes more sophisticated, it will become easier and easier for humans to create images and videos of just about anything and everything. Consequently, generative AI content might be more difficult to differentiate from actual reality, because they are shaped so robotically. In the future, this could result in deep fakes and disinformation spreading widely. 

Zoom Boss Greg Tomb Fired ‘Without Cause’

Zoom, the video conferencing platform that many people use to work from home, has terminated the contract of its President, Greg Tomb. Tomb was in charge of sales and had been involved in the company's financial calls. But, Zoom has confirmed that it will not hire anyone else for the position, and Tomb's exit was not because of anything he did wrong, the company said. 

Tomb reported directly to Zoom's CEO, Eric Yuan, who founded the company in 2011 and is credited with making Zoom so popular during the pandemic. Millions of people worldwide used Zoom to keep in touch while staying home. 

In April 2020, the company boasted 300 million daily participants on its video calls, including virtual weddings and funerals. However, Zoom has struggled to keep up its success, just like many other tech companies, and had to lay off over a thousand employees earlier this year. 

Despite tripling its workforce during the pandemic, the company cut 15% of its staff because of a decrease in demand. Yuan has admitted that the company did not have enough time to analyze its teams and decide if they were working towards its goals. 

As companies look to cut costs during the economic downturn, Zoom may lose out to other services such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. In response, Zoom is trying to diversify its offerings. 

It announced plans to add email and calendar features last year and launched a chatbot to help users with issues. Zoom is also developing Zoom Spots, which are virtual co-working spaces that allow hybrid teams to work together. 

In an email to employees, the CEO wrote, "As the CEO and founder of Zoom, I am accountable for these mistakes and the actions we take today. To that end, I am reducing my salary for the coming fiscal year by 98 percent and foregoing my FY23 corporate bonus. Members of my executive leadership team will reduce their base salaries by 20 percent for the coming fiscal year while also forfeiting their FY23 corporate bonuses." 

Zoom became famous because it helped people stay connected while working from home during the pandemic. However, it's been tough for Zoom to keep up with its success, and they had to lay off staff. They're also facing tough competition from other video conferencing services like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack.

Zoom is trying to offer new services like email and calendar features and virtual co-working spaces to attract customers. It's still unclear if Zoom can compete in the crowded video conferencing market.
