Observability will make or break your AI deployments

Our internal experts say to take generative AI one step at a time. Step one is ensuring your infrastructure is based on security and governance for enterprise-grade AI. The next crucial step is observability.

Autonomous agents will bethe gauge of success for AI

What is the best use of AI? According to our panel, it will take the form of autonomous agents that can take simple instructions, farm out subtasks to various models, and complete the overall project independently. Today, copilots can handle repetitive tasks that are simplified and automated, but AI is not up for reasoning, planning and a high degree of sophistication. Yet.

“That’s going to be the measure of next-generation performance. Not how well a model does on the SAT, but how well it does multistep planning and problem solving."

SVP of Engineering

More focused AI strategies will overcome the backlash

Companies will establish more guardrails for models, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) — which lets models cite the sources of their specific organization’s data — will dramatically reduce hallucinations.

Bad actors will attack via the AI models themselves

Bad actors will start to move into the ML infrastructure layer itself, forcing the model to provide the wrong answer, or worse, to divulge private information — like the data the model was trained on. Organizations will be forced to establish a rigorous security approach to operationalizing AI.

“There need to be whole levels of controls around how a model was trained and what data was used, and there will be a bigger push toward more formality around that."

Leaders need to embrace curiosity to keep up with AI

As AI helps employees work smarter and faster, leaders may struggle to keep up. Endless curiosity is essential for evolving as a leader in an AI-accelerated world.
