“ We have to apply the right amount of security to reduce that risk ”
LEO HOWELL CISO , GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
From an operational perspective , Howell explains that the organisation is cautiously embracing AI technologies . “ A number of AI platforms like ChatGPT , Bing and Copilot , all these tools that are coming out these days are offering very powerful capabilities , but they are at the early stages of maturity when it comes to data security and privacy capabilities . And so I would say AI is at a starting point for us right now in the operational sense .

“ Many of our technology partners have begun including AI capabilities as default into their products , and we ’ re starting to leverage some of these capabilities ,” he adds . “ So we embrace AI capabilities that are being added , but we ’ re really working to understand the risk before we just jump in full blown , because we still have to protect privacy and security of data .”
