It is no secret that AI is advancing at a blistering pace for everyone – including cyber adversaries. The mainstream unveiling of generative AI in 2024 brought about the biggest disruption in computing since the microprocessor. AI solutions promise the world unprecedented levels of efficiency, speed, and automation. However, this seemingly utopian and disruptive technology is evolving more quickly than governance and regulations can keep pace and implement guard rails for use and adoption.

The pace of innovation in generative AI has been nothing short of explosive. What began with users experimenting with public apps like ChatGPT has rapidly evolved into widespread enterprise adoption. AI features are now seamlessly embedded into everyday business tools, such as customer service platforms like Gladly, HR software like Lattice, and even social media networks like LinkedIn.
