Embrace gen AI with eyes wide open

July 18, 2024

In a recent episode of the At the Edge podcast, former Fortune CEO Alan Murray discusses the rapid rise and transformative potential of generative AI. Despite concerns such as data risk, intellectual property issues, hallucinations, and bias, Murray believes the benefits to both management and workers outweigh the drawbacks. He emphasizes that this technology requires human qualities like experience and judgment rather than technical skills and has the potential to reduce inequality in the workforce. However, the critical challenge lies not with the technology itself but in how organizations and individuals adapt to its fast-paced change.

Senators introduce bill to bolster healthcare cybersecurity

July 18, 2024

Following the February security breach at Change Healthcare, which compromised millions of medical records, a bipartisan group of Senators has introduced the Healthcare Cybersecurity Act (S. 4697). Sponsored by Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Todd Young (R-IN), and Angus King (I-ME), the proposed legislation directs the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to collaborate on improving healthcare cybersecurity. It aims to enhance resources, develop defensive strategies, and establish a special liaison within CISA to ensure effective coordination with HHS. The bill has gained support from multiple academic and healthcare provider groups, emphasizing the need for strengthened cybersecurity to protect sensitive patient data and maintain healthcare operations.

How much water does AI consume?

July 18, 2024

The increasing discussion around artificial intelligence (AI) often overlooks its significant water consumption, essential for onsite server cooling and electricity generation for data centers. Large AI models like GPT-3 require vast amounts of energy, leading to notable water consumption. AI's operational water footprint, comprising scope-1 onsite and scope-2 offsite water usage, along with scope-3 embodied water consumption, poses a challenge given the global water scarcity. Transparency regarding AI's water footprint is lacking compared to its carbon footprint, complicating efforts to address water sustainability. Monitoring and publicizing AI’s water usage can drive better resource management and equitable solutions to mitigate its environmental impact.
