AI adoption is slower than expected in many spaces. Some of the reasons are straightforward, but others are more subtle. Most leaders wants to inject AI into their business to develop a competitive advantage. There are four challenges.
Also, because the systems are non-deterministic, they are unpredictable. The pace of innovation, the early understanding of AI internals, & the non-determinism compound to create doubt.
AI security has at least four dimensions : model security, prompt injection, RAG authentication/authorization, & data loss prevention.
AI is new. Should a company allow a vendor to train a model using their data? Whose intellectual property is a fine-tuned model? What happens if a vendor violates the data privacy law? What training data is used that might subject the software buyer to future legal action? Many legal teams are working to understand those questions.
Selling AI is not just selling software. Many of the processes are new & these barriers introduce friction into the sales process, extending sales cycles. Over time, these rough edges will be worn smooth through practice. But the first companies selling today will need to persist through these challenges. |
