Basically all of the speaking requests I've received over the last six months, all any of them want to talk about is AI, b/c everyone is trying to position themselves as being the perfect partner to usher companies through the madness. I'm probably not going to be asked to do speaking much longer, b/c I find I am fairly hawkish on all the AI hype.

I guess I come from a pretty old-fashioned point of view on technology vs security, which is basically that the more you complexify something, the harder it is to secure. And most of the AI visions that companies are espousing would increase the complexity of security efforts by several orders of magnitude. The issue of data governance is just one small microcosm of that (one in which most fail at miserably already).

I think it's also safe to predict that first movers here (beyond the now entrenched big ones) are going to get clobbered by regulation soon.
