REAL Talk With Sam Holcman

I review the thoughts of Neil deGrasse Tyson on the effect AI is having on the Internet and how I believe it will result in a realization that it is not the AI "engine" that is the issue but the "Internet training data" that is the underlying issue.

We used to call them “bugs,” then “revisions,” then “updates,” and now, in Artificial Intelligence (AI), “hallucinations.”  The correct term is “mistakes.”  Let us, as an industry, address these AI mistakes now.

Let us take a look at the term(s) that make up the composite phrase Artificial Intelligence.  When we analyze these terms, we find this is not the phrase we want to continue to use for a number of reasons.  Perhaps Amalgamated Information is more accurate and more exact.

There are four categories of data that are used/available to "train" Artificial Intelligence engines.  (1) open data on the Internet and other sources, (2) Copyrighted data, (3) Data requiring some initial exchange of information/funds, and (4) True Intellectual Capital / Best Practices. This Broadcast will provide some insight into and understanding of these Categories.

This Broadcast will define and describe the four components of an Artificial Intelligence Environment.

We define and break down the definition of R.E.A.L. Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise Architecture is explicitly describing an organization through a set of independent, non-redundant artifacts, defining how these artifacts interrelate with each other and developing a set of prioritized, aligned initiatives and road maps to understand the organization, communicating this understanding to stakeholders, and move the organization forward to its desired state. R.E.A.L - Realistic, Enabling, Actionable, Logical.

Root Cause Analysis is a term that encompasses methods, tools, techniques, and strategies to surface problem causes. The root cause is the “ultimate” problem to be addressed.

Root Cause Analysis has been a component of Total Quality Management (TQM) for some time. We bring this long-effective and tried approach to one of the biggest concerns to organizations – Cyber Security.

With the increased emphasis on "digital transformation" and "agility" in Enterprises worldwide, it has become more difficult to separate facts from beliefs, experiences from opinions, and sound practices from declarations.

The field appears so irregular because academia, publications, consultants, and practitioners, present IT practices with disparate voices advancing a multitude of approaches, meanings, and sets of expectations—some based on internet writings, some based on conjecture, some based on opinion and yes, some based on sound practices.

Watch the original presentation: https://www.architecturescoe.org/resourcesall/optimizing-and-streamlining-it-for-business-agility

This presentation includes fact-based descriptions and approaches for "digital transformation" and "agility," which are grounded in sound practices and principles based on decades of field engagements and experience.

"Digital Transformation" is the investment and alignment of optimized or new business models with technologies that best engage customers. This places additional demands on the business technology organization.

Couple this with the recognition that these transformations may involve process (both business and technology) transformations, changes in the business model itself, "cultural"/value realignments, and organization transformations, and the "IT business model" will at least need a review!

The pressure on IT to deliver technology-enabled change to the business can be looked at negatively or as an opportunity to really bring agility to the business through agility in technology delivery. How can IT leaders actually bring this about?

This broadcast will bring some insights into both business agility and technology agility – tune in to see how.

Enterprise Architects and Business Architects; do you have a seat at the “Big Persons Table?” Perhaps it is not only what you are delivering but HOW you are delivering it. The key to delivery is a series of soft skills in addition to the Hard Skills you may possess.
