00:00:02
good
00:00:02
morning morning oh that's pretty cool
00:00:05
that's pretty cool so every day we wake
00:00:10
up with the challenge of bringing
00:00:12
Innovation to our
00:00:15
organizations and what's made it harder
00:00:17
over the last 20 years is those waves of
00:00:19
innovation come at us faster and faster
00:00:22
every day so that made me think of an
00:00:25
analogy that I would be using today for
00:00:29
this presentation
00:00:31
we are all going to be
00:00:33
Surfers we're going to decide what
00:00:35
beaches we should surf at and what waves
00:00:39
we should
00:00:40
ride we're going to take a look at waves
00:00:43
that are happening now in one to three
00:00:45
years near in 3 to five and in the
00:00:49
future five years and
00:00:52
Beyond but before I get started on that
00:00:55
I need to let you know how we got here
00:00:57
today how did we get to this list well
00:01:01
you've heard about the gardener hype
00:01:03
cycles and those Innovation profiles on
00:01:05
top of them the little dots we have over
00:01:08
2,000 of them we looked at the ones that
00:01:11
are coming from the technology trigger
00:01:13
to the peak of expected inflated
00:01:18
expectations then we took a look and
00:01:21
asked our analyst over 2500 of them
00:01:24
submit so we had this huge list we
00:01:27
vetted it down and then had our Chiefs
00:01:29
of research vote on it then finally the
00:01:32
team that worked with me to put together
00:01:35
today's list came up with a list of
00:01:38
technologies that we believe will shape
00:01:41
the future responsible
00:01:45
Innovation the three beaches that we're
00:01:48
going to look at today the first one is
00:01:51
AI risk and imperatives check I had to
00:01:54
say AI or else I don't get a bonus this
00:01:57
year right two
00:02:01
New Frontiers of computing oh my God
00:02:04
there is no more AI here and then lastly
00:02:08
how things are changing between humans
00:02:10
and machines human machine Synergy all
00:02:14
of this so that we can be responsible
00:02:18
ethical and
00:02:20
trusted so let's go to our first speech
00:02:23
our first speech here is AI imperatives
00:02:26
and risks and I'm going to build on what
00:02:28
you heard in the Keynote around agentic
00:02:32
AI so we have this as really two to
00:02:35
three years but it's now in two to three
00:02:38
years and I don't know about you there
00:02:41
isn't a day that I wake up where I don't
00:02:43
have a list of a thousand things to do
00:02:46
and every night I go to bed worried
00:02:47
about the things I didn't get done and
00:02:51
this is why we believe everybody needs
00:02:54
an agent we need agents why well what
00:02:58
can they do for us the first thing is
00:03:01
that agents are employees that never
00:03:05
need benefits they don't call it sick
00:03:07
they work 24 hours a day and will do
00:03:10
things for us that we often find mundane
00:03:13
or even more than that they can do
00:03:16
things with us or without us because
00:03:21
they have the ability to plan and sense
00:03:23
and make decisions and monitor and much
00:03:27
more also they may make websites or
00:03:32
applications unnecessary now I'm not
00:03:34
saying this is the death of the website
00:03:36
or the death of the application but
00:03:39
think about how many times people in
00:03:41
your organization get onto a website to
00:03:44
check something then decide to do
00:03:48
something based on what they saw same
00:03:51
thing for an
00:03:52
application we can have agents do those
00:03:55
things for us in fact we believe that
00:03:59
they're important because they can
00:04:00
upskill your Workforce so you saw Ula
00:04:05
Ula was able to become productive in
00:04:09
less than six months and have the equal
00:04:11
productivity of somebody with five years
00:04:14
but it can also enable new concepts of
00:04:17
scale so I want you to think of a list
00:04:20
when you leave this presentation of
00:04:22
things you would like agents to do for
00:04:25
you and your
00:04:27
organization and say what if we actually
00:04:30
created them lastly they can create new
00:04:34
co-workers now I don't know about you
00:04:36
I've always wondered how Tony Stark
00:04:38
could run a multi-billion dollar company
00:04:40
and have time to be an
00:04:42
Avenger he had
00:04:44
Jarvis multiple Jarvis is Jarvis
00:04:48
everywhere Jarvis for you Jarvis for
00:04:51
everyone so some of the things to
00:04:53
Watcher and do is that you're going to
00:04:55
see your application provider starting
00:04:58
to offer a Gent AI in their applications
00:05:02
they may make big announcements which
00:05:04
you've had some this month or they may
00:05:06
just put it in there and you can start
00:05:08
using it also you'll need to know when
00:05:14
this happens it's a signal it's in your
00:05:16
organization one of you developers walks
00:05:18
up to you and says hi look what I
00:05:20
created there here's an agent that
00:05:22
monitors all of our critical
00:05:24
infrastructure and it's going to manage
00:05:26
it while I'm on vacation right that's
00:05:28
pretty scary
00:05:30
but this is that b yo AI scenario this
00:05:35
can happen you can have developers
00:05:37
building agents right now and not be
00:05:39
aware of them another thing to watch out
00:05:42
for is that this is the not the next
00:05:46
generation of RPA this is not just
00:05:49
stringing applications together through
00:05:52
integration instead we have the ability
00:05:55
to make decisions and have action taken
00:05:59
so when it comes to the next generation
00:06:02
of Shadow it it's agentic
00:06:06
Ai and with that how do we manage this
00:06:11
new Workforce this brings us to our
00:06:14
second Trend which also Builds on things
00:06:16
that you've heard in the keynote and
00:06:18
that's AI governance platforms and we
00:06:21
believe this is happening in the next
00:06:23
two to four years so we've already saw
00:06:27
in the keynote cases of privacy being
00:06:29
broken discrimination could occur
00:06:32
through bias manipulation of markets and
00:06:34
many many other things that can happen
00:06:37
with
00:06:38
AI so we need an AI governance platform
00:06:44
that creates trust through
00:06:46
transparency we need to know what was
00:06:49
the data used to train this model how
00:06:51
was what was the algorithm or approach
00:06:53
used to train the model how did this
00:06:56
prompt come up with the answer that it
00:06:58
generated
00:07:00
also we need to have security and risk
00:07:02
management which is AI trism and then
00:07:05
we're going to have Guardian agents as
00:07:07
part of this this is the evolving area
00:07:10
of the AI governance
00:07:12
platform also it's going to ensure that
00:07:16
it serves everyone equally so this is
00:07:19
where we're going to see Technologies
00:07:20
emerge that actually check for bias and
00:07:23
you'll be able to do that as you're
00:07:25
building your applications or
00:07:28
agents and then lastly this is going to
00:07:31
pave the way to build ethics into every
00:07:35
AI that you
00:07:37
have so why is this important well we
00:07:40
need to have ethics in everything we
00:07:43
create because remember we want to be
00:07:45
responsible ethical and trusted and that
00:07:48
we want AIS to Monitor and prevent
00:07:52
anything bad so that we can have
00:07:54
generally good outcomes and of course
00:07:57
we're doing this to protect our
00:08:00
reputation so some of the things to
00:08:02
watch for is that you're going to see a
00:08:04
surge in government regulations they
00:08:06
continue to pop up everywhere every
00:08:10
government is concerned about it and
00:08:12
following those regulations will be
00:08:14
important and you're going to need
00:08:15
governance platforms to help you do
00:08:18
that next ethics is not going to be
00:08:22
something that you just write down and
00:08:25
say you do right what do I mean by that
00:08:28
ethics washing
00:08:30
so we're going to put out a policy that
00:08:31
says we are doing these things to
00:08:32
maintain ethicalness within our
00:08:35
organization and we're governing our AI
00:08:37
models and then have no tools to do it
00:08:38
or prove it also your vendors if they
00:08:41
make those claims you need to ensure
00:08:44
that they can actually do what they're
00:08:46
saying now we're also going to have to
00:08:49
pressure test all of our AI models to
00:08:52
check for bias those government's
00:08:55
platforms capabilities will help us do
00:08:57
that so that we don't release any bias
00:09:01
models now we believe that responsible
00:09:04
AI will be as standard as cyber security
00:09:08
and just as critical you'll have to do
00:09:11
this every
00:09:13
day onto our third Trend disinformation
00:09:17
security happening in the next one to
00:09:19
three years now what is disinformation
00:09:23
security I just think of it as bad
00:09:26
gossip right it's misinformation is to
00:09:29
be misleading we saw this recently with
00:09:33
the weather events here in Florida where
00:09:35
misleading information was propagated on
00:09:38
the web through how people can get
00:09:40
assistance after certain after the
00:09:42
Hurricanes that's that's sad that's said
00:09:46
so disinformation security right what's
00:09:49
made it worse is that AI has given the
00:09:52
technical means that your fishing tax
00:09:55
are so good you can bypass the patrol
00:09:58
controls and harm your Enterprise so
00:10:01
imagine I am I now can generate a
00:10:03
fishing attack that's so good you
00:10:06
believe it's me and you let me in your
00:10:10
organization now disinformation security
00:10:13
is an emerging category of Technologies
00:10:15
there are several of them right now such
00:10:17
as looking for deep fakes but it's aimed
00:10:20
at Discerning trust assessing the truth
00:10:23
and the spread of inform of information
00:10:26
knowing where it came from and where
00:10:28
it's going now within this trend there's
00:10:31
a Pandora's Box and it's
00:10:34
opened red team hackers now have the
00:10:38
ability to create
00:10:41
video
00:10:43
audio and O and imagery to be able to
00:10:46
that it's so good it can bypass the
00:10:48
biometric controls in your organization
00:10:51
and they can get into realtime
00:10:54
Communications so imagine this you're on
00:10:56
a c you're on a conference call you're
00:10:58
in your meeting you see each other and
00:11:00
you think you're actually talking to
00:11:02
your colleague and it's not
00:11:06
them next why is this important so
00:11:10
because the fishing attacks have gotten
00:11:12
so good with AI it's easy to use that as
00:11:17
the way in then using synthetic media I
00:11:21
can help spread false information inside
00:11:24
your organization and outside your
00:11:28
organization
00:11:29
so some of the things to watch for and
00:11:31
do here with misinformation is deep fake
00:11:34
identification tools looking for
00:11:36
synthetic media those are ones that you
00:11:38
should be looking at now also
00:11:41
impersonation prevention tools so
00:11:43
imagine a watermark at the underneath my
00:11:46
video as I'm in that conference goal
00:11:47
that says this is the real Gene Alvarez
00:11:49
we've authenticated that and we're doing
00:11:52
this so that we can protect our brand in
00:11:56
reputation what's really interesting
00:11:58
about this trend is for the first time
00:12:00
this is a team sport that involves the
00:12:02
business and cyber security marketing
00:12:05
may be detecting that the sentiment
00:12:07
analysis is dropping on your
00:12:09
organization and they'll have to get
00:12:11
together with the cyber security team to
00:12:12
figure out where is it coming from
00:12:14
what's the source is it true and if not
00:12:17
how do we correct
00:12:19
it so we're leaving the beach of AI now
00:12:24
that's it we're leaving bye and we're
00:12:26
now going across town to another Beach
00:12:29
New Frontiers of
00:12:31
computing now the next one is a hard one
00:12:33
for me to pronounce postquantum
00:12:37
cryptography now postquantum
00:12:39
cryptography We Believe will be bigger
00:12:42
than Y2K now please I know that's a big
00:12:45
claim please stick with me while I work
00:12:47
this out so Quantum Computing can break
00:12:51
every asymmetric encryption out there
00:12:55
now every application in your
00:12:57
organization that reaches the web uses
00:13:00
asymmetric encryption you may have in
00:13:03
that encryption used in applications
00:13:05
that you don't even know it's embedded
00:13:07
in there so when all the locks are
00:13:11
broken we need new
00:13:13
locks now postquantum Computing is a set
00:13:17
of algorithms that can resist attacks
00:13:20
from both classical computers and from
00:13:24
quantum
00:13:25
computers another Trend within this
00:13:28
trend that's happening is the Harvest
00:13:30
now and decrypt later so I get into your
00:13:32
organization through a fish I'm in and I
00:13:35
gather up all the encrypted data I can I
00:13:37
store it on my side as a red team hacker
00:13:40
and I'm waiting for Quantum to come
00:13:42
along to be able to unencrypt it so why
00:13:46
is postquantum cryptography important
00:13:49
well it's important because it's not a
00:13:51
simple patch it's not a simple as you
00:13:53
can run your patch management tools and
00:13:54
everything gets updated it's more than
00:13:56
that it's you need to also have an
00:13:59
inventory of everywhere you're using
00:14:02
encryption because all of it needs to be
00:14:04
replaced and these things can impact the
00:14:08
performance of applications that you
00:14:10
have running right now and I don't know
00:14:13
if there's anyone in this room that has
00:14:15
actually budgeted for it in
00:14:18
2025 so some of the things you're going
00:14:20
to have to do get an inventory where
00:14:22
you're using encryption move to a
00:14:24
cryptal agile approach where you can
00:14:27
update those applications and any other
00:14:29
things that use asymmetric encryption
00:14:32
and then also two you're going to have
00:14:34
to look at upgrading your hardware and
00:14:36
most importantly
00:14:37
budgeting so now let's go to ambient
00:14:40
invisible
00:14:41
intelligence remember when RFID promised
00:14:44
we could track everything and then we
00:14:46
saw the cost of the tags right and the
00:14:49
actual performance of them and the
00:14:51
batteries that they needed well no more
00:14:54
information in the shadows we are now
00:14:57
seeing because of the the low price and
00:15:00
form factors of the new tags such as the
00:15:03
ability for it to charge itself using
00:15:05
ambient radium frequency and paper thin
00:15:09
that you can tag anything and now go
00:15:13
after that information in the chat
00:15:15
Shadows such as how many chairs are in
00:15:16
this room where did they come from and
00:15:18
where do they need to go to next so this
00:15:21
means we're going to be redefining large
00:15:24
scale tagging and tracking and
00:15:27
intelligence and in the long run these
00:15:29
tags could be built into everyday
00:15:31
products which can lead us to a world of
00:15:34
smart
00:15:36
everything so this is going to be
00:15:38
important for organizations that want
00:15:40
that real-time inventory of millions of
00:15:43
items and this includes Industries like
00:15:45
retail food production warehousing for
00:15:49
example the sweater table where how many
00:15:51
sweaters and what sizes are on it we
00:15:54
could just scan it and know or ice cream
00:15:56
we need to know ice cream has made
00:15:59
maintained its temperature through the
00:16:00
entire supply chain but we have a
00:16:03
nefarious truck driver who actually
00:16:04
raises the temperature to save fuel that
00:16:07
tag would catch that we believe in the
00:16:11
next five years that those tags will hit
00:16:13
10 cents so some of the things you'll
00:16:16
need to do is when the tags hit 20 cents
00:16:18
is start looking for those opportunities
00:16:21
where you can use the tags for these
00:16:23
type of realtime information in the
00:16:25
shadow challenges you'll also have to
00:16:28
prepare your infrastructure for all of
00:16:31
this messaging go through it because the
00:16:33
volume is going to be
00:16:34
incredible and then next privacy
00:16:37
concerns remember my ice cream how do we
00:16:40
turn the tag off when Jean gets it at
00:16:42
home and he doesn't want anyone to know
00:16:43
how much ice cream he really eats all
00:16:46
right and yes I had some last night so
00:16:50
energy efficient Computing is our next
00:16:53
one anyone here in the room other than
00:16:55
those who put in solar have their
00:16:56
electricity bill go down for themselves
00:16:58
of their organization I don't think so I
00:17:01
know mine
00:17:03
hasn't however our com demand for
00:17:05
computing is through the roof through
00:17:08
the roof and we need to do more
00:17:10
Computing with less
00:17:12
energy so that means that we have to
00:17:15
find some consump some energy efficient
00:17:18
way because right now the rise of
00:17:21
computing power is so unsustainable for
00:17:23
us we can't catch up to
00:17:25
it so we're going to see an increased
00:17:28
demand because of big items such as AI
00:17:31
simulation
00:17:33
optimization me and media and driving
00:17:36
the growth of compute consumption and
00:17:40
driving our energy
00:17:42
footprint we're also seeing that
00:17:44
Executives Regulators partners and our
00:17:47
customers are putting us under pressure
00:17:50
to reduce its's carbon
00:17:53
footprint so why is this important well
00:17:57
incr incremental impr improvements is
00:17:59
not going to be enough yes you need to
00:18:02
do them but it's not going to be enough
00:18:05
we need to find long-term Solutions and
00:18:08
Innovative technology that's going to
00:18:10
help us meet the demand for computing
00:18:13
while reducing our carbon foot footprint
00:18:16
and of course we are seeing new
00:18:18
technologies emerging
00:18:20
here so in the short term you're going
00:18:23
to adopt such things as Green Cloud
00:18:25
moving things to Green Cloud you may
00:18:27
actually rewrite out algorithms remember
00:18:29
when we used to write them to save space
00:18:32
now we're going to write them to save
00:18:34
energy and we may be Shifting the load
00:18:37
of those of our compute to different
00:18:40
times in the
00:18:42
day so you're going to have to monitor
00:18:44
some of the new technologies coming out
00:18:46
and look at the ones that are offering
00:18:47
10x or 100x Improvement for Big Ticket
00:18:51
items such as Ai and you're going to
00:18:54
Pilot such new technology like Optical
00:18:57
computing morphic Computing and other
00:19:00
novel accelerators that are coming about
00:19:03
to take on this energy challenge
