Are technology leaders ready for #GenerativeAI? 🤔 We surveyed 600 senior technology leaders in Europe, North America, and Asia, to find out if they’re laying the right foundations to grasp the opportunities around GenAI – while avoiding the risks. 🗝️ Here are the 6 key takeaways: • Everyone is late to the party • Technology leaders should be alert to the ‘new’ risks of GenAI • Technology leaders must accept that GenAI is a game-changer for their whole business • GenAI’s perceived environmental impact needs a reality check • The importance of change management is underestimated • No data quality, no GenAI! ➡️ Click here to find out more: https://lnkd.in/eiDFDDfr 🤝 Thank you to Chadi Hantouche, Ghislain de Pierrefeu, Gerome Billois, Julien FLOCH, Chafika Chettaoui, PhD, Andreas Eisner, Laurent Carrie, Aldrick ZAPPELLINI, Satabhish Aeka, and Senthil Jayaprakasam for their contributions!

Generative AI may be grabbing recent headlines, but let's not forget that incumbents have been dabbling with other forms of AI for more than a decade. Now might be the right time to dust off that old business case that got shot down and leverage the buzz to make the case for AI in the Enterprise IT context. Wavestone is launching a multi-part series to help future tech leaders to meaningfully adopt new (and some not so new) technology paradigms. Happy to have contributed to the first one in this series focused on AIOps, with Thomas Lawrie and Annie Chan. There's more to come, so stay tuned! #wavestone #aiops #digitaltransformation #itoperations #intelligentautomation #servicemanagement https://lnkd.in/ere8CwiV

Some thoughts on topics that are top of the CIO agenda in the coming year from Romain Gagliardi, PMP, with a focus on Industry 4.0

🌍 The EU AI Act: An opportunity to lead on ethical AI innovation - Are You Prepared? 🚀 The EU's landmark AI Act is set to reshape how artificial intelligence is developed and used in the EU (and beyond). Businesses should take note of this comprehensive legal framework, which aims to ensure AI systems are safe, transparent, and accountable. Here's the TLDR: 1. 📜 Overview of the EU AI Act The Act classifies AI applications based on risk and focuses on high-risk AI systems used in critical sectors such as healthcare, transportation, and law enforcement. 2. 🎯 High-Risk AI Systems: A Core Focus Enterprises involved in high-risk AI sectors must adhere to stringent compliance requirements, including rigorous data governance and management, robust transparency and human oversight mechanisms, and regular assessments and documentation of AI systems. 3. 🚦 Prohibited Practices and AI Systems Certain AI practices are banned under the Act, including AI that manipulates human behavior, opinions, or decisions and real-time remote biometric identification systems in public spaces for law enforcement (with specific exceptions). 4. 🛠️ Technical Documentation and Record-Keeping Enterprises must maintain extensive records and documentation for each AI system, ensuring traceability and accountability. 5. 💼 Impact on Business Operations The AI Act will significantly affect business operations, requiring a re-evaluation and adjustment of current AI systems, investment in compliance infrastructure and training, and close collaboration between legal, IT, and engineering and data science teams. 6. 🌐 Global Impact and Extra-territoriality The Act's extra-territorial scope means it applies to non-EU companies providing AI services in the EU, making global compliance crucial. 7. 🚀Staying Ahead: Strategic Steps for Enterprises To navigate the AI Act effectively, enterprises should: 📚 Educate their teams about the AI Act's requirements. 🔍 Conduct AI system audits to identify potential high-risk areas. 🤖 Integrate ethical AI practices into their development processes. 🏢 Final Thoughts: Leveraging Regulatory Changes The EU AI Act is an opportunity for businesses to excel in ethical AI innovation, not see it as a regulatory hoop to navigate. Early preparation and aligning AI initiatives with the Act's guidelines will position businesses at the forefront, enhancing trust in AI technology. #euaiact #ethicalai #aiadoption #regulation #governance #digitalbusinesstransformation #ai #euregulations #responsibleai

“As we reach 2024, the socioeconomic and political landscape continues to be a persistent pressure, and organisations are still feeling the challenges of both these factors. CIOs must be heavily resilient in the face of these circumstances to ensure long-term success and minimal operational disruption.” I am pleased to share Wavestone UK's CIO Agenda for 2024 alongside Irene Wu and Mahfuza Chowdhury In this piece, we take a look ahead at the next 12 months to identify the top 5 tech trends that CIOs need to address, from the continued rise of Generative AI, to the completion of Cloud migrations and adoption.
