We all know what makes artificial intelligence work is data. But how much do you know about the data that is being used in artificial intelligence? Whether it's a model that you obtained off of the Internet, a large language model, a small language model, or other sources. What is the quality of that particular data? Who actually owns the data? What context is the data coming from? Can you actually trust it? These and more questions are outlined in this episode of Real Talk with Sam Holcman. Stay tuned and think about these things after the broadcast, in your own context.

In the world of Enterprise Architecture and Business Architecture, the terms educate, demonstrate and train are often confused. In this broadcast, we will define each one of these terms from the context of two different audiences - one is the Enterprise Architect and Business Architect, and the other is the stakeholder’s context. As you will hear from this broadcast, the skills you require are different for educating, demonstrating, and training, and we hope that this broadcast will help you to be more successful in your chosen field by recognizing these differences.

Business Architecture is often misunderstood and incorrectly categorized as a mere component of Enterprise Architecture. This concise exploration aims to dispel the marketing hype and provide clarity on this crucial yet frequently misinterpreted field.

Paving over the cow paths.  Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting change. All you have do to is buy a package and you will never have to work and thing again (and you can get rid of all o f the programmers!).  How many of these have you heard?  Here we go again – AI Coding will solve all ills.  Have a listen.

Let us look outside of EA and BA at failures in other disciplines to see if we can learn something. This gets us away from siloed thinking in our own domain. Perhaps we can learn something!

Humankind has a thirst for ease.  Sometimes, we just fill out forms with 123 Main Street, Joe Doe as our name, 123-456-7890 as our telephone number.  Innocent or mischievous?  Does your favorite AI tool or language model know this?  Of course not.  If you have not dug into this yet in your language models, you will possibly be surprised.  The issue is large and growing.

Beyond the AI Algorithm: Rediscovering Authentic Learning and Best Practices.  The Broadcast will outline the four categories of data (information), and the limitations faced today with large language models.

General Motors has had a number of changes in their software development organizations, for a number of decades now.  It's like déjà vu all over again, as Yogi Berra stated.  Perhaps it is not who is developing the software that needs to be addressed - it is how it is being developed.  An understanding that needs to be put forward.

Can you trust and verify the software you are using (or developed internally) is secure, safe, and functions as intended?  Do you know where the software was developed, who maintains is, how it is maintained, and how it is changed?  In this age of increasing cyberattacks, these questions are now an imperative.  Listen in for some insight into this very important topic.

Does the word Consultant bring fear to you or your organization?  Let us examine how to turn that fear into trust and hope.  There is one overarching thing that you can do to make this happen.  Have a listen!
