Strategic Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence Executive Briefing (11th Edition)

Summary

This executive briefing will help you understand the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on your business. It covers generative, agentic, and physical AI, and the threats and opportunities they pose to every business. This edition has a particular focus on agentic AI security.

Key Highlights

  • Calls for AI deceleration are unlikely to be heeded. Despite numerous AI scientists and developers voicing concerns over AI safety risks, the tech industry continues to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into infrastructure to develop increasingly powerful models. The US government has also downplayed the risks of AI, instead emphasizing the country’s position as the global leader in AI development.
  • Successive failures in agentic AI supervision should not be ignored. There have been numerous incidents in which OpenAI and Anthropic’s AI models acted nefariously, and the criminality of some of these incidents is under discussion. Organizations using AI agents must ensure their human employees can spot unusual behavior and escalate problems before harmful activity occurs.

Scope

  • This report looks at the latest developments in AI, including an analysis of calls for AI deceleration, an examination of OpenAI's Hugging Face hack, and the latest on Big Tech's AI infrastructure spending.
  • It also includes insight into agentic AI security threats and provides an overview of the debate over open- and closed-weight models.

Reasons to Buy

  • AI will disrupt every business across every sector in the coming years.
  • The impact will expand across sectors and business functions as generative AI and agentic AI tools become more powerful.
