They address the countless issues coming in from other departments: “My network is acting funky, and I’m about to go on a meeting with an important client,” “I accidentally deleted every important email I have ever received from the […]
The Data Governance Wake-Up Call From the OpenAI Breach
Shockwaves reverberated throughout the political and tech ecosystems this summer when OpenAI – the creator of ChatGPT – admitted it had been breached. The breach, which involved an outsider gaining access to internal messaging systems, left many worried that a national adversary could do the same and potentially weaponize generative AI technologies. National security aside, the […]
The Secret to RAG Optimization: Expert Human Intervention
As the use of generative AI (GenAI) grows exponentially, developers have turned their attention to improving the technology. According to EMARKETER, nearly 117 million people in the U.S. are expected to use GenAI in 2025, a 1,400% increase over just 7.8 million users in 2022. More demand means more scrutiny and increased demand for higher-quality products, and […]
