Generative AI and the National Cybersecurity Strategy "Tie Together" | Sadin on Digital

The Big Themes:


Forget the headlines, what's in this product? Is generative
AI and ChatGPT truly the "next big thing," or is this something
that has been around for awhile and is just now starting to get
popular? When starting college in 1970, Wayne was encouraged to
study computing programming because experts were predicting that
by 1975, artificial intelligence (AI) would be "writing all the
programs in the world."

The future of generative AI: Wayne suggests that this tool is
going to either be the biggest augmentation of human abilities,
or it's going to be the biggest disruption... or it's going to be
both.

National Cybersecurity Strategy: The government's strategy
outlines the need to "rebalance responsibility." Rather than
holding the company that got attacked by malicious actors
accountable, the responsibility is now on the vendor to ensure
that customers aren't getting "ransomwared."



 


The Big Quote: "That's how they [generative AI and the National
Cybersecurity Strategy] tie together. We're at the beginning of
AI broadening into general use. Think about the Internet of 50
years ago. That's where AI is today. A great tool that's starting
to reach commercial scale. And so, again, I share your fear when
the government gets involved. It often doesn't go well. But this
is where we as an industry, the CISOs, the vendors, the CIOs that
buy it, have got to be out there with their voices heard. I'm not
so interested in anybody suing Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Cisco and
everybody else, as I am in a standard that says, in two years,
the product you sell me should have the standards, or else
somebody's going to sue... and cyber is becoming existential for
a lot of industries, the ransomware attacks, we got to do
something. And clearly, as an industry, we have not taken the
leadership position."
