The immovable opacity of AI meets the irresistible force of privacy
If an AI operator cannot account for personal data generated inside a large language model, then it is possible activist privacy regulators might find the technology to be unsafe.

Enter AI And The Real Fourth Industrial Revolution
Running out of ideas to inspire, a false fourth industrial revolution was coined by the World Economic Forum. The move to digitization and digital transformation was a necessary half-step to the move towards AI. While some will now profess that the Fifth Industrial revolution is AI, AI is more exponential than the internet or the fake fourth industrial revolution. The dawn of the fourth industrial revolution begins with AI. This Cognitive Era will be with us for decades to come. Constellation Research has seen a projected CAGR of 19.8% in global AI IT spending from $151 billion to $490.6 billion by 2030.
The World Economic Forum's Four Themes Seek To Rebuild Trust
The 54th annual convening at Davos brings 2700 delegates from over 130 countries to officially attend the World Economic Forum’s event. Meanwhile, an additional 5000 individuals join events around Davos in a series of programing known as UnDavos. This year’s official Davos proceedings center on four main themes:
Two Year IPO Drought Coming To An End
In 2023, only 148 companies completed an initial public offering (IPO). This was the worst year on record and followed a 15% decline from the number of IPO's in 2022, another disappointing year. In 2023, ARM was the sole blockbuster tech IPO.
After a brutal two years with a paucity of tech IPOs, the market is poised for a resurgence in 2024.
AI and biology have the potential to greatly benefit humanity in several ways. Here are some key illustrative opportunities to consider:
I'm excited to be live from AWS re:Invent 2023 in Las Vegas. This year's event is packed with announcements about the leading-edge of cloud computing and the hot topic of the year, generative AI.
Sam Altman just faced his Steve Jobs moment when the OpenAI board fired him on Friday.
The balance between too much governance and not enough innovation was the challenge OpenAI faced. This was a very immature board with members who had never built companies, never moved from ideology to commercialization, nor had any pragmatic board experience.
Is AI going to collide with privacy law? Technology neutral privacy law doesnt care how personal data comes to be held by a computer or a business. Those running network machine learning systems may be deemed to have collected inferred personal data and if so, must comply with privacy laws.
Kinetic blends physical and digital services as automobiles evolve from mechanical systems to digital ones that resemble data centers on wheels. Who is going to maintain and repair all those EVs?
\With artificial intelligence (AI) projects all the rage, organizations must make a strategic determination to create a new CxO role at least at a functional level if not at a title level.. This decision should not be made lightly, however. Although the chief AI officer (CAIO) role is critical to an organization’s success, the level of collaboration across business, IT, finance and operations, HR, and legal risk and compliance requires an unprecedented level of cooperation and orchestration. Boards will also want to consider AI at the same level as CyberSecurity.
