Litan said the “phone’s been ringing off the hook” from companies looking for advice on the security and risks of AI adoption.

“Security-minded folks are very concerned – that are being pushed by the business to move ahead – so I’m witnessing a lot of tension in the organizations, and I am just trying to bring it down to earth,” Litan said.

In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, Litan discussed:

• Winners and losers of the OpenAI/Altman saga;
• How the Gen AI marketplace is different today than it was pre-drama;
• Gen AI use cases, hype and what to realistically expect in 2024.
