The Heralding of a New Era in Data Security in the GenAI World

The emergence of Generative AI (GenAI) with Large Language Models (LLM) has unlocked promises of revolutionary possibilities driving newer business opportunities and customer experiences. It is not surprising that leading technology innovators like Microsoft, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, IBM, Databricks, Snowflake, and many others are investing heavily in LLMs to create business value for the next decade. If GenAI delivers in line with the early signs then the scale of economic impact will be huge.  McKinsey Global Institute estimates that generative AI will add between $2.6 and $4.4 trillion in annual value to the global economy, increasing the economic impact of Artificial Intelligence as a whole by 15% to 40% . In this article, I will focus on the implications of GenAI on data security, privacy, and governance, and discuss how organizations can adapt to ensure a secure and responsible future.

As the expectations and pace increase, it’s impossible to meet the demand with home grown software. So, there is a need for open source software contributed by software professionals around the world. Open source software facilitates rapid development and release cycles. It enables developers to incorporate ready-made components into their application so they can quickly release...
