Cybersecurity is your No. 1 risk and you’re likely unprepared
Cybersecurity is the No. 1 risk facing enterprises today, and yet organizations remain dangerously unprepared. Executives are not blind to the problem — they understand the financial exposure, the reputational stakes and the business impact of a major breach. They acknowledge gaps in their defenses and recognize the vulnerabilities that could cripple their mission-critical systems. ...
The AGI debate is misguided. The bigger potential is Enterprise General Intelligence
Silicon Valley’s debates over the viability of human-like artificial general intelligence overlook the likelihood that true superintelligence won’t emerge in our phones but in enterprise systems. The race for AGI is heading in the wrong direction. Today’s foundation models, impressive as they are, remain fundamentally reactive. They are sophisticated autocomplete systems that respond to prompts ...
