The launch of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems like Chat GPT, Copilot, DALL-3, etc., has dramatically increased conversations around AI. From wondering how employees can use the technology to worrying about privacy and accuracy, business leaders are frantically trying to get a handle on how their organizations should approach this new technology and what risks it poses to their operations.

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) presents both unparalleled opportunities and significant risks.
