CLEVELAND, Sept. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a recent article for CXO Today, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) John Parlee states that as Generative AI has gained the attention of many organizations’ networking teams, associated opportunities and risks are being discovered.
“Generative AI has a lot of potential as a productivity tool, particularly when organizations can add contextualized data from their own operations,” John Parlee, Park Place Technologies’ CISO, shared in a larger interview about data center growth in India. “Generative AI has gained the attention of many organizations, as they assess its potential and understand associated risks. Those risks include data leakage, misinformation, unauthorized access and abuse, dependency, and compliance and legal considerations.”
Generative AI presents exciting opportunities for applications like guided learning, troubleshooting, and simplified reporting and analysis, Parlee said. “By leveraging Generative AI, network teams can shift their focus from grappling with data analytics techniques to delving into the insights presented by the generated data,” he added. “Through the development of tailored prompts, engineers can instruct Generative AI to perform the required analytics and produce the specific data they need.”
Parlee also stated that Generative AI can contribute to network efficiency and performance. “By employing predictive analytics, it can accurately anticipate areas where capacity needs to be augmented, enabling proactive measures to optimize network operations,” he explained.
