A recent report from the Government Accountability Office from April identified cybersecurity concerns and lack of data privacy as some of the top risks associated with Generative AI. As the federal government ramps up AI investments, with the DOD prioritizing AI in its Software Fast Track (SWFT) Initiative and recent legislation allotting hundreds of millions for AI-related efforts, industry findings point to emerging risks that government agencies need to start addressing during initial AI adoption.
GitLab’s Bob Stevens joins the Keeping IT Brief Podcast to discuss the government's AI adoption journey as well as GitLab’s C-suite survey from July, which highlights as organizations rapidly adopt AI, cybersecurity threats, data privacy, and governance stand as top concerns.
