There is no doubt that Artificial Intelligence, and specifically GenAI, has been one, if not the, most widely discussed and debated subjects of the year. The question of AI ethics and how seriously to take the impact of AI on society is one of the biggest and most polarising questions of our time.
Cyber has long been a top risk for businesses. However, it is still often perceived as an IT or tech issue, rather than the existential risk to the business that it could be. It is also likely that Cyber will continue to grow as an issue, and in complexity, as we enter the AI-age.

Technology democratisation is the process of reorienting technology tools to require less specialized knowledge to use and drive value. This can happen at organisational or societal level, and lead to more rapid application and radically increased innovation.
This week, Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Nabil Bukhari, CTO and CPO at Extreme Networks and a regular contributor to Forbes, about how he became so inspired by tech democratisation, why it is important for society to have equal access to tech and what the implications and advantages are for your organisation.

GenAI use cases emerge everyday, however they tend to be quite discreet currently, to unlock its potential at scale we are likely to see platforms and significant organisational change emerge at an unprecedented speed over the next year.
