Striking a Balance Between the Risks and Rewards of AI Tools
By Michael Gray, Chief Technology Officer, Thrive
With all the recent hype, many may not realize artificial intelligence is nothing new. The idea of thinking
machines was first introduced by Alan Turing in the 1950s, and the term “artificial intelligence” was coined
nearly 80 years ago. However, the technology has gained new notoriety thanks to the introduction of
generative AI. Yet, the buzz has come with hesitations around things like implementation, training, and
ultimately, security.
Many business leaders are still questioning whether they should implement generative AI within their
organizations. Each company has different goals and capabilities and therefore needs to look at the
benefits and challenges associated with the technology within the context of their business. As such,
anyone exploring AI adoption must understand the promised rewards and the potential risks of doing so,
asking the right questions along the way to determine the right approach for their company.
