WEBVTT 1 00:00:19.860 --> 00:00:22.800 AI creates enormous opportunity for businesses. 2 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.840 It also creates some real challenges. 3 00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:27.930 They need to quickly deploy and scale the technology, 4 00:00:27.930 --> 00:00:28.950 while at the same time, 5 00:00:28.950 --> 00:00:31.620 ensuring it's proficient, safe and equitable, 6 00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:34.800 secure, and compliant with regulation and policy. 7 00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:37.560 GenAI makes it that much more challenging. 8 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:39.810 If responsible AI is not at the core, 9 00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:42.090 GenAI risks being value-destroying 10 00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:43.930 rather than value-generating. 11 00:00:43.930 --> 00:00:46.500 What are the main challenges companies face 12 00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:48.603 when trying to use AI responsibly? 13 00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:51.450 Well, I think there are three. 14 00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:54.420 First is the pace of technological change. 15 00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:58.530 With AI, the pace of change is so rapid that I think 16 00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:01.410 that the strategies for managing risks 17 00:01:01.410 --> 00:01:05.130 are being outpaced by the level of novelty 18 00:01:05.130 --> 00:01:08.460 and new capabilities that are being built out in AI. 19 00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:12.060 Second is the ambiguous nature of the risks. 20 00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:15.210 It's a set of known risks as well as unknown risks 21 00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:17.850 that I think the traditional strategies 22 00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:21.420 in managing the risks aren't working anymore. 23 00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:25.230 And third, there's new, and an influx of, regulation. 24 00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:27.720 I think there is a lot of questions that remain 25 00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:30.060 as to whether the regulations provide enough guidance 26 00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:32.760 on how to manage the risks properly. 27 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.710 How prepared are companies right now 28 00:01:34.710 --> 00:01:37.080 to manage the risks of AI? 29 00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:39.840 Well, honestly, I think we would all say 30 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.030 that we wish they were even more prepared. 31 00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:46.320 In fact, our research with MIT suggests that 32 00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:50.940 62% of experts that we polled would say that 33 00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:53.280 existing risk management processes 34 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.290 are not expanding fast enough 35 00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:58.440 to incorporate the various risks of AI. 36 00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:02.580 To get this really right is a two- to three-year process. 37 00:02:02.580 --> 00:02:04.380 You have to think through the strategy, 38 00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:07.980 the governance, the processes and tools, 39 00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:10.350 and then work to change your culture 40 00:02:10.350 --> 00:02:11.850 to really be thinking about 41 00:02:11.850 --> 00:02:14.880 how to effectively manage AI risk. 42 00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:16.290 How can companies move 43 00:02:16.290 --> 00:02:19.683 from their responsible AI ambition to execution? 44 00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:25.500 First, create transparency on the risks that you are facing. 45 00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:30.191 Second, you need to invest in risk mitigation tools. 46 00:02:30.191 --> 00:02:32.460 Create transparency on the mitigation tools 47 00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:33.870 that you already have in place, 48 00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:35.970 and make sure that they are uplifted 49 00:02:35.970 --> 00:02:39.300 to be able to capture the AI-induced risks, 50 00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:42.900 like cyber risks, ethical failures, and the like. 51 00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:46.020 And third, stay agile. 52 00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:48.930 As fast as AI and GenAI technology is evolving, 53 00:02:48.930 --> 00:02:51.963 also the risk mitigation around it needs to evolve.
