The Business Side of AI – Edward Contreras – CSP #161
Artificial Intelligence: Currently these two words can mean a world of difference to different people. How do you bring this topic to the board, to executives, or to business partners, and help them understand the risks without the FUD or technical language that so often creeps into the conversation? The goal is to engage in an action driven conversation and not lead it down a theoretical path. As a CISO in a financial institution, understanding the boundaries and limitations is key to corporate success.
